Matchmaking targeting participants interested in the Call 1

About this event

Degradation pressures, mainly due to human activities related to overconsumption and industrial processes, affect soil health through physical damage or the introduction of pollutants. In turn, these processes disrupt the capacity of soils to provide a range of ecosystem services, with major economic, environmental, and societal consequences. Action is therefore urgently needed. The ambitious EU mission " A Soil Deal for Europe" aims to create 100 regional "Living Labs" knowledge, and innovation centers, jointly creating and testing soil management practices and solutions to improve soil health. The mission's ambition to achieve visible effects through its eight specific objectives requires a regular and efficient implementation of the Living Labs, as well as a good functioning and effective capitalization of the results. For this purpose, the Living Labs must be well anchored, based on strong and committed communities, aware of the specific needs of soils in the framework of the mission, and access to knowledge and exchange networks. In the context of the NATI00NS project's thematic event, we aim to feature presentations and discussions on key aspects of the EU Horizon Soil Mission calls, including its objectives, expected outcomes and key tips to write a successful proposals. Experts and stakeholders from various background will share insights, best practices, and success stories related to this call for proposals. In addition to presentations, the event will include a matchmaking session aimed at facilitating the creation of transnational consortia. This session will provide participants with the opportunity to connect with potential collaborators from different countries and sectors,
