La Commissione europea ha pubblicato ufficialmente i topics della call di Horizon 2020 dedicata al Green Deal. La loro apertura è prevista per il 22 settembre prossimo.
Il bando intende finanziare progetti che dovrebbero produrre risultati tangibili e visibili in tempi relativamente brevi, dimostrando come la ricerca e l’innovazione possano fornire soluzioni concrete per le principali priorità del Green Deal europeo.
In particolare, il bando finanzierà:
- applicazioni pilota, progetti dimostrativi e prodotti innovativi
- innovazioni per una migliore governance della transizione verde e digitale
- innovazione sociale e della catena del valore
Oltre allo sviluppo tecnologico e alla sua dimostrazione, la call incoraggia quindi l’innovazione sociale e la sperimentazione di nuovi modi di coinvolgimento della società civile per responsabilizzare i cittadini.
