COOPE-RATION


Approach for the call Environment 2012

(1) Provide knowledge-based options for addressing major societal challenges notably climate change, land and sea management and resource efficiency (Europe 2020, Flagship Initiatives on Innovation Union and Resource Efficiency)

(2) Develop and strengthen European leadership in innovation including key environmental technologies pursuing a broad concept of innovation, both research-driven innovation and new business models, eco-design, services (e.g. ecosystem services) and innovation in policy, governance and consumption behaviour (Innovation Union)

(3) Promote and facilitate knowledge transfer, assessment, uptake and exploitation of scientific data and results, in particular through demonstration and delivery of innovative tools and services such as earth observation systems (Innovation Union)


Addressing innovation

proposing bottom-up topic on innovative resource efficient technologies, processes and services in support of the Resource Efficiency Initiative

introducing a bottom-up topic to support demonstration and exploitation of most promising prototypes and tools derived from previous European environmental research activities (e.g in the areas of water and waste applications)

exploring opportunities to extend open access to data in order to enhance transparency, credibility and efficiency of research and promote the use of data and results for policy and/or business purposes.
