What this call funds

Expected Outcome:

Project results are expected to contribute to all of the following expected outcomes.

  • Improved water resilience and good environmental and good ecological status in European waters and contribute to the achievement of the European Union's environmental targets, including the European Water Resilience Strategy and the European Ocean Pact.
  • A comprehensive understanding of the future environmental impacts of waterborne transport on marine and other aquatic ecosystems, addressing in particular pollution sources from: i) navigation on renewable low and zero-carbon fuels; and ii) accidental spills of renewable low and zero-carbon fuels for marine waters, inland waters and ports (water and air quality).
  • Innovative prevention, abatement and mitigation systems and strategies for reducing and eliminating the harmful impacts of waterborne transport on waters.
  • Enhanced pollution prevention and mitigation in marine waters, inland waterways and port areas, reducing the likelihood and impact of accidents involving renewable low and zero-carbon fuels.

These are Bemzu's estimates from the call's structure (the number of stages and whether a consortium is required) not figures published by the Commission. Only the co-financing share is read from the call itself.

Where these conditions come from

Two kinds of row. Most are the sentence we read the condition from, quoted out of the call itself. Some say plainly that they are not a quotation but the programme's own rule for this type of action, the EU portal publishes a table of contents where the conditions should be, so for a Research and Innovation Action the rate comes from the rulebook rather than from the fiche.

ConditionQuoted from the call, or the rule behind it
Consortium sizeNot quoted from this call — Research and Innovation Actions under the Horizon Europe rules are at least three independent legal entities from three different Member States or Associated Countries, at least one established in a Member State.
Funding rateNot quoted from this call — Research and Innovation Actions under the Horizon Europe rules are funded at 100% of eligible costs for every participant.
MaturityRelevant TRL5 demonstration of such systems should be done.
