Risk assessment of new low risk pesticides

Closed

Code: 15133 | Identifier Code: HORIZON-CL6-2022-FARM2FORK-01-01 | Programme name: 2939 | Sub-program: Food, Bioeconomy, Natural Resources, Agriculture and Environment (Cluster 6)(2021-2027) | Start submission calls: 28/10/2021 | End submission calls: 15/02/2022

To ensure the lowest risk to human health and the environment, the development of so-called low-risk substances is encouraged by several regulatory incentives in the EU. The plant protection products approval and authorization process has to keep pace with scientific and technological developments aiming to advance assessment methods of new low-risk plant protection products. Proposals should need to consider and address relevant EU regulatory requirements as well as relevant guidance documents that are to be followed for the specific hazard characterisation and exposure assessment to achieve an appropriate risk assessment.

Microbiomes in food production systems

Research and innovation for food losses and waste prevention and reduction through harmonised measurement and monitoring

Closed

Code: 15120 | Identifier Code: HORIZON-CL6-2022-FARM2FORK-01-08 | Programme name: 2939 | Sub-program: Food, Bioeconomy, Natural Resources, Agriculture and Environment (Cluster 6)(2021-2027) | Start submission calls: 28/10/2021 | End submission calls: 15/02/2022

Preventing and reducing the amount of food intended for human consumption that is eventually lost or wasted is a complex challenge. The robust and reliable measurement and monitoring of food losses and waste is key to tracking progress made over time and informing the development and implementation of effective strategies and actions. There is also insufficient understanding of the root causes and drivers behind these losses, and this is key to developing effective strategies for preventing and reducing them.

Building alternative protein-friendly sustainable and healthy food environments

Food environments are essential to enabling a dietary shift towards less livestock-based and less highly processed food. Much more R&I is needed on food environments to ensure that environmental sustainability and health objectives can be achieved. To achieve a meaningful dietary shift, a choice architecture should be designed to promote healthy and sustainable food preferences.

Predictive safety assessment framework and safer urban environment for vulnerable road users

Closed

Code: 15045 | Identifier Code: HORIZON-CL5-2022-D6-01-06 | Programme name: 2939 | Sub-program: Climate, Energy and Mobility (Cluster 5)(2021-2027) | Start submission calls: 14/10/2021 | End submission calls: 12/01/2022

A Safe System approach recognises that since accidents will continue to occur despite preventive efforts, it is a shared responsibility between stakeholders (road users, road managers, vehicle manufacturers, etc.) to take appropriate actions to ensure that road collisions do not lead to serious or fatal injuries. In a Safe System approach, mobility is a function of safety rather than vice versa. It involves the implementation of system-wide measures that ensure, in the event of a collision, that the impact forces remain below the thresholds likely to produce either death or serious injury.

Project results are expected to contribute to the following areas:
Area A – Predictive safety assessment framework
Area B – Safer urban environment for vulnerable road users

Artificial Intelligence (AI): Explainable and trustworthy concepts, techniques and models for CCAM (CCAM Partnership)

Closed

Code: 15043 | Identifier Code: HORIZON-CL5-2022-D6-01-05 | Programme name: 2939 | Sub-program: Climate, Energy and Mobility (Cluster 5)(2021-2027) | Start submission calls: 14/10/2021 | End submission calls: 12/01/2022

Αny AI requires good integration into the overall system with close interaction and compatibility with the active safety systems (e.g. automated emergency braking). For the development process, training is essential for the performance of unbiased AI. It requires sufficient traffic and event data under varying conditions from all over Europe, avoiding limited data sets. The current, mainly deterministic approaches for validation in automotive development will not be sufficient for future training and validation of AI-based or AI-supported functions, which will also need to be able to deal with complex issues as (un)intended miscommunication.

Human behavioural model to assess the performance of CCAM solutions compared to human driven vehicles (CCAM Partnership)

Closed

Code: 15038 | Identifier Code: HORIZON-CL5-2022-D6-01-03 | Programme name: 2939 | Sub-program: Climate, Energy and Mobility (Cluster 5)(2021-2027) | Start submission calls: 14/10/2021 | End submission calls: 12/01/2022

The variability of human behaviour and performance with factors like gender, cultural and ethnic background, ageing, diseases, driving experience, mental workload or fatigue makes the acquisition of such evidence a very challenging task. Data on the dependence of human driving behaviour from such factors is partly available from previous research, but not sufficiently broken down to the level of specific driving situations.
Proposed actions have to develop a probabilistic human behavioural model with the potential to cover all relevant aspects of human driving performance as well as the broad spectrum of drivers and influencing factors.

This Call is related on the development of UTES is linked to a multidisciplinary understanding of the whole system, including waste-heat source, exploration and subsurface characterisation, production, implementation and distribution systems, as well as the adaptation of the regulatory framework and social acceptance. The main technical challenges are the adaptation of the return temperature from the surface site to the subsurface temperature and to the regulatory frameworks, identification, characterisation and monitoring the reservoirs for UTES, the geo-mechanical effects of the reservoir linked to the seasonal injection/ production operations related to pressure and temperature changes, hydrogeochemical problems associated with scaling and corrosion of the piping system, circular design and optimisation of the distribution network.

Advanced manufacturing of Integrated PV

“Integrated PV” stands for photovoltaics that are embedded into components fulfilling other functions. In addition to the overall PV goal of lowering the LCOE, IPV applications can bring the extra value of decentralized, point-of-use electricity generation and simultaneously fulfil another function such as of a roofing, facade or sound barrier. Progressively developing and having the potential for a world-wide market with huge opportunities for the European industry, manufacturing of customized IPV in series production concept needs to be developed to bring down the cost of Integrated PV allowing for largescale production and use.

Renewable energy sources installations will have an explosive growth, in order to achieve the goals of climate-neutrality by 2050. Clear and decisive actions will need to be taken in order to assure that, the future wind farms are sustainable and circular, while also dealing with current wind farms and the recycling of their components, once they reach the end of their lifetime.

The nature of this challenge involves different kinds of activities. The first activity is on the development of large-scale industrial demonstration of composite material recycling technologies to increase the circularity of wind technology. This demonstration will focus on flexible approaches for composite recycling, and on the development of a knowledge hub involving other composite-heavy sectors, in order to share best practices and to identify common challenges.
