EU Research Excellence and Capacity for Horizon 2020 Topics SC5-08-2017 – Xavier Dubuisson
1. EU Research Excellence and Capacity for
Horizon 2020 Topic SC5-08-2017
Innovative nature-based solutions for
hydro-meteorological risk reduction
2. Overview of Topic SC5-08-2017
Innovative nature-based solutions for hydro-meteorological risk reduction
Via large-scale demonstration, projects should aim to:
develop, demonstrate and deploy innovative systemic and yet locally attuned
nature-based solutions
including green and blue infrastructure and ecosystem-based management
approaches, in rural and natural areas
including particularly sensitive ones such as mountainous and coastal areas,
for hydro-meteorological risk reduction at watershed/landscape scale
integrated design concept for land management and planning
co-designed and co-deployed in a trans-disciplinary multi-stakeholder and
participatory context
Deadline: 7 March 2017
2nd stage Deadline: 5 September 2017
Budget: 25 million euro
3. Methodology of the study (SSS 1.2)
Stage 1: Mapping of research projects: The CORDIS database was searched
using pre-selected keywords across the full suite of FP7 (and FP6) and Horizon
2020 programmes and relevant projects identified
Stage 2: Mapping of key Institutes to receive water research funding: The
research projects from Stage 1 were comprehensively searched to discern
whether there was evidence of research institutes involved in multiple
research projects. The top performing institutes involved in multiple
projects were identified.
Stage 3: Analysis of “networking” groups: A range of EU networking groups
in the water research area were analysed as part of Stage 3 . Participants in
networks which were also “top performing institutes” from Stage 2 were
identified.
