The 9 selected projects demonstrate the degree of complementarity between research groups of the Euskampus trustees, which are committed to developing joint responses to achieve more resilient societies and promote the sustainability and recovery of the oceans.
The range of projects presented to the call for proposals for the "Euskampus Missions 1.0" Programme 2021 includes diverse initiatives; although two of the projects selected have been managed from the ZIRGUNE Circular Economy community, as well as other projects related to this field. Among the disciplines covered by the projects, apart from the Circular Economy, there is also a wide spectrum ranging from Artificial Intelligence, Cybersecurity, Renewable Energies in the marine environment, or Climate Change Adaptation and Opportunities, to name just a few.
The Euskampus Missions programmes were created with the aim of generating a network of research, training and innovation capacities that enable specific missions to be defined in certain mission areas. To this end, different types of initiatives will be activated, including, for example, the Missions 1.0 Programme.
In addition to providing funding for the projects, Euskampus will work with this network on the design and implementation of a working methodology based on challenges and aimed at maximising the potential impact.
With this call for projects, Missions 1.0 aimed to activate innovative projects, both in terms of their research purpose and their methodology and interdisciplinary and systemic approach, with the objective of promoting more resilient societies and the sustainability and recovery of the oceans.
The organisations collaborating in Euskampus have made funds of €115,000 available to foster cooperation through a co-funding scheme for the development of these projects. Many of them have additional means of funding and they all aspire to obtain further financial support from other programmes (Basque, national and European) to continue advancing along the proposed lines of research.
