GSS EU Science Funding Gateway

Living labs and lighthouses are a core element of the mission ‘A Soil Deal for Europe’. They are meant to bring together a variety of actors to co-create and test solutions on the ground, thereby delivering innovations with high potential for rapid uptake by land managers and other relevant actors (e.g. industry, consumers etc.) across Europe. This FPA will establish the conditions and identify the consortium of partners who – through subsequent calls and one or more Specific Grant Agreements – will run a support structure for the coordination of Living Labs funded under the Soil Deal Mission. The mission’s implementation plan foresees that the LL support structure should start operating in 2024, at the same time as the first waves of living labs are effective. In this way, the LL support structure will provide timely and targeted services to the emerging network of living labs.
