Summary
The aim of this topic is to deliver innovative technologies and solutions which reduce the environmental and climate footprint of RIs through the full life cycle of research infrastructures. Proposals should identify common methodologies, among the concerned RIs, to assess environmental impact and strategies to reduce it, as well as efficiency gains in the broader ecosystem.
Detailed Call Description
Proposals should address the following aspects, as relevant:
- new technologies and solutions for research infrastructures enabling transformative resource efficiency (e.g. energy consumption) and reduction of environmental (including climate-related) impacts, including, when relevant, more sustainable and efficient ways of collecting, processing and providing access to data;
- validation and prototyping;
- training of RI staff for the operation and use of the new solutions;
- action plans to deploy the new developments at wider scale and ensure their sustainability;
- measures to ensure an environmentally effective integration of the solutions in the local contexts;
- societal engagement to foster acceptance of the solutions in the local and regional communities.
Proposals should built on and explain any synergies and complementarities with previous or current EU grants, including grants funded under other parts of the Framework Programmes.
