GSS EU Science Funding Gateway

Proposals must:

• Carry out demonstration activities in at least 3 different countries, involving and including in the consortium partners from these three countries;
• Proposals should also identify areas and locations where the solutions are replicable and draw up an action plan and roadmap to replicate and scale up the solutions and actions for the protection and restoration of natural lakes.

To address the impact-driven approach of the Mission and the nature of Innovation Actions, proposals are expected to work with and engage at least 3 ‘associated regions’ to showcase the feasibility, replicability and scalability of the solutions developed within the projects in other areas. ‘Associated regions’ are understood as areas with ecosystems that can benefit from the demonstration activities (e.g. in the context of this topic, regions with another natural lake located in EU Member States and/or Associated countries) and/or less-developed regions, with the need to build capacity to implement the innovative solutions to restore freshwater ecosystems. The proposals should ensure that the ‘associated regions’ are located in Member States/Associated countries other than those that are part of the project consortium. The involvement of ‘associated regions’ that have not yet participated in Mission projects is encouraged. The partners will proactively reach out to the ‘associated regions’ to enable them to follow closely the project and its demonstration activities. (Further details in the Funding & Tenders)
