Bijna € 1 miljard te verdelen vanuit Horizon 2020 Green Deal-call

De Europese Commissie heeft op basis van Horizon 2020, het Europese kaderprogramma voor onderzoek en innovatie, een nieuwe zogeheten Green Deal-call gelanceerd.

Vanuit deze call met de titel 'Building a low-carbon, climate resilient future: Research and innovation in support of the European Green Deal' is in totaal € 983 miljoen beschikbaar voor onderzoeks- en innovatieprojecten die een antwoord bieden op de klimaatcrisis en die de unieke ecosystemen en biodiversiteit van Europa helpen beschermen.
