Overview

ExpectedOutcome :

Project results are expected to contribute to several of the following expected outcomes:

  • enhanced RI capacities to address research challenges and EU policy priorities, in particular the green transition;
  • new RI services and data related to the social aspects of green transition;
  • increased support of RI services for the EU Missions and Partnerships linked to the green transition;
  • harmonized data sets that are accessible and complemented by tools that facilitate the collection, analysis, and visualization of the data;
  • strengthened collaborations between research infrastructures and broader stakeholders, including civil society, in addressing sustainability challenges at multiple scales. Scope :

The aim of this topic is to deliver innovative tools, solutions and modules to enable research infrastructures to support studies and assessment on the social aspects of the green transition, advancing the state-of-art of RIs in the EU and Associated Countries, and showing transformative potential in their operation in line with the ambition of the European Union. Social aspects of the green transition may include: energy poverty and transport poverty, green jobs and skills, gender and equality aspects of the green transition, or other aspects of the fair transition towards climate neutrality. Proposals should link new modules on green transition to the data collection of European surveys, also integrating and harmonising what already exists at national and EU level.

Proposals should address all the following aspects:

  • research and development for the new tools, solutions, modules which will enhance existing research infrastructures;
  • their validation, prototyping and deployment
  • the development of a sustainability plan for the new modules.
  • the innovative potential for their exploitation for the benefits of the society.

Consortia should be built around a leading core of at least 2 world-class research infrastructures, being ESFRI infrastructures, European Research Infrastructures Consortia (ERICs) and/or other world-class research infrastructures that are intergovernmental organisations of European interest, and can include a wider set of RIs and other technological partners.
