Living Labs for soil remediation and green redevelopment of brownfields
Funds a network of 4-5 living labs that co-design soil remediation and green redevelopment solutions for brownfield sites across at least three countries.

The lead consortium can pass on grants of up to EUR 200,000 to small…
The funder wants long-term, multi-actor living labs — each covering 10 to 20 real sites such as abandoned industrial or mining land — that test and compare soil remediation and green redevelopment solutions. It wants a baseline of soil health indicators for each lab and a plan for how the labs will keep running after EU funding ends.
