Environmental biotechnology applications in service of remediation of polluted ecosystems
Funds bio-based and nature-based remediation projects that clean up polluted soil, sediment and water.
Environmental biotechnology applications in service of remediation of polluted ecosystems is a Horizon Europe Research and Innovation Action from the European Commission that funds bio-based and nature-based remediation projects cleaning up polluted soil, sediment and water. It carries an indicative topic budget of EUR 8,000,000, expected to fund 2 projects of about EUR 4,000,000 each. The Joint R…
This call wants case-study-based projects that develop bio-based and nature-based solutions to remediate soil, sediment, surface water and groundwater damaged by pollutants — hazardous chemicals, pharmaceuticals, litter, plastics — including sites hit by accidents or climate-driven disasters. It's looking for AI-enabled tools for faster remediation in emergency conditions too.
