On February 29, experts of Horizon Europe Office in Ukraine of the National Research Foundation of Ukraine spoke at a webinar “Opportunities for Ukrainian participants and peculiarities of creating a consortium in the Horizon Europe Framework Programme”. The audience learned about the aspects of participation in calls under the Research Infrastructures within Pillar I Excellent Science.
The webinar was held at the Ukrainian National Office of Intellectual Property and Innovations as part of the “Talking about my idea” project. More than 110 participants joined the event.
Igor Taranov, PhD in Economics, Associate Professor, Head of Horizon Europe Office in Ukraine, spoke about the opportunities of the Horizon Europe Framework Programme for Ukrainian researchers and innovators. Yuliia Reminska, PhD in Law, Leading Officer of Horizon Europe Office in Ukraine, presented the peculiarities of forming consortia in the Programme.
The audience asked many questions and received comprehensive professional answers from the speakers.

Holistic approaches for effective monitoring of water quality in urban areas (HORIZON-CL6-2024-ZEROPOLLUTION-02-1-two-stage)
Horizon Europe Office in Ukraine continues to inform that the second stage of calls in Cluster 6: Food, Bioeconomy, Natural Resources, Agriculture and Environment within Pillar II Global Challenges and European Industrial Competitiveness are available. Deadline for applications in the 2nd stage – September 17, 2024.
Holistic approaches for effective monitoring of water quality in urban areas (HORIZON-CL6-2024-ZEROPOLLUTION-02-1-two-stage).
Expected Outcome:
In line with the European Green Deal’s zero pollution ambition, successful proposals will contribute to protecting water quality by managing urban water pollution, and consequently also protecting biodiversity and the quality of aquatic ecosystems, as addressed by several impacts under the Destination ‘Clean environment and zero pollution’, in particular “Move towards achieving clean, unpolluted surface water and groundwater bodies in the EU by advancing the understanding of diffuse and point sources of water pollution in a global and climate change context, enabling novel solutions to avoid degradation and restore water bodies, aquatic ecosystems and soil functionality, and further enhancing water quality and its management for safe human and ecological use, while fostering the EU’s and Associated Countries’ position and role in the global water scene.”
Projects results are expected to contribute to all of the following expected outcomes:
Enhance urban water quality with a view of providing better guidance for policy making and prioritisation by developing integrated urban water quality monitoring management plans;
Sound, safer and risk-based urban water quality management plans supported by enhanced holistic monitoring, advanced novel methods and digital solutions, modelling and evidence-based scenarios;
Increase uptake of digital tools in the water sector to support water management decisions for all stakeholders.
Horizon Europe Office in Ukraine continues to inform that the second stage of calls in Cluster 6: Food, Bioeconomy, Natural Resources, Agriculture and Environment within Pillar II Global Challenges and European Industrial Competitiveness are available. Deadline for applications in the 2nd stage – September 17, 2024.
From silos to diversity – small-scale bio-based demonstration pilots (HORIZON-CL6-2024-CircBio-02-6-two-stage).
Expected Outcome:
This topic supports the bioeconomy strategy and the common agriculture policy (CAP) by promoting new business models for the green transition in line with the European Green Deal objectives.
Project results are expected to contribute to all of the following outcomes:
Demonstration of replicable and scalable, innovative bioeconomy-oriented production and business models with an active involvement of primary producers.
Enhanced knowledge and awareness on feedstock availability and technology options to better valorise underutilised biomass, residues and waste streams from agriculture and forestry.
Improved innovation capacities and product portfolio extension in primary production sectors and SMEs.
Development of new materials, products, and services with considerably lower environmental impacts and at higher value.
Climate-neutral land sector by 2035 and climate-neutral economy by 2050.
Diversification and enhancement of agricultural incomes (organic and conventional farming).
Creation of a stakeholder platform to share best-practice examples and promote new business models in the primary production sectors.
Promotion of bioeconomy-related interventions in the new CAP and advice and technical guidance for Member States.
The current economy system is based on an intensive consumption of fossil fuels in a way that severely compromise the future of the planet due to the severe consequences in climate change. Europe’s future economic growth and jobs will increasingly have to come from innovation in sustainable products based on renewable resources and in line with the climate and biodiversity objectives. This topic addresses innovative business models and technology options in primary production sectors to unlock the potential of the bioeconomy in rural areas and to efficiently use underutilised biomass, in particular side streams from agriculture and forestry, for high value applications in small-scale bio-based demonstration pilots.
On February 27, the team of Horizon Europe Office in Ukraine held working meetings with representatives of the Programme Committees responsible for monitoring the implementation of the EU Framework Programme for Research and Innovation “Horizon Europe”. This time, the participants of the Committees “Widening participation and strengthening the European Research Area” and “Food, bioeconomy, natural resources, agriculture and environment” joined the meeting. The first event was also attended by Hryhoriy Mozolevych, Acting Director General of the Directorate for Science Development of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine.(more…)
