Elvesys is a French innovative SME dedicated to MICROFLUIDIC FLOW CONTROL instrumentation. We can design the specific microfluidic system that will meet the needs of your application (e.g., cell culture, chemical reactor, drug testing, lab-on-chip, point-of-care, diagnostics, organ on chip, optofluidic, µfuel cell, micro-droplet, sensors…). As the WORLD’S LARGEST PRIVATE MICROFLUIDIC LABORATORY, we already bring our expertise to MORE THAN 30 EUROPEAN PROJECTS.

We are interested in the following call:

Framework Partnership Agreement (FPA) for a Living Lab network support structure

TOPIC ID: HORIZON-MISS-2022-SOIL-01-08

Programme: Horizon Europe Framework Programme (HORIZON)
Call: Research and Innovation actions to support the implementation of the Soil health and Food Mission (HORIZON-MISS-2022-SOIL-01)

Topic description:
 
ExpectedOutcome: This Framework Partnership Agreement (FPA) aims at supporting the effective implementation of the Mission ‘A Soil Deal for Europe’ (hereafter referred to as the Soil Deal Mission) and in particular its overall goal of setting up a network of 100 living labs and lighthouses by 2030.

The FPA will allow to establish an effective support structure (hereafter referred to as LL support structure) to coordinate and promote activities under the mission’s network of living labs and lighthouses. The LL support structure will cater for the needs of living labs and lighthouses that will be selected through open calls in forthcoming Work Programmes of the Soil Deal Mission (from 2023 onwards).

Following the evaluation of proposals submitted under this FPA call, one consortium of partners is going to be retained. The FPA will specify the objectives, the nature of the actions planned and the procedure for awarding specific grants through subsequent calls resulting in Specific Grant Agreements (SGA). The FPA will thereby contribute to all of the following expected outcomes:

• The network of living labs is effectively performing and expanding, ensuring a comprehensive representation of all types of soils, land uses and soil health challenges across the EU and Associated Countries.
• Potential applicants and selected projects are well equipped with information and advice (e.g. formal, technical) to set up and run living labs in line with the criteria established in the Mission’s implementation plan.
• Approaches between living labs and lighthouses are harmonised and the interface between the living labs / lighthouses and other mission activities is well established.
• Participants in living labs and lighthouses benefit from comprehensive exchange of experiences as well as from thematic, technical advice provided by the LL support structure.
• Social capital and citizen engagement on soil health challenges is increased and solutions developed and tested in living labs are effectively disseminated.
• The uptake and scaling up of good practices by land managers is promoted by the LL support structure within and beyond living lab areas.
• Experiences across the Living Lab network can be assessed based due to common monitoring and evaluation procedures.
