Shifting to sustainable food systems in schools across Europe

In this success story the project brings different stakeholders together in-person to increase awareness of a whole school food approach, resulting in informed healthier choices for young people as well as contributing to the sustainability of schools.

Shaping the green ports of the future

EU-funded activities such as PIONEERS provide huge opportunities to support technological enterprises (e.g., the joint venture Antwerp Terminal Services), in developing highly innovative solutions to reduce carbon emissions in the port sector.

Ultimately projects such as these aim to transform ports into green infrastructures and energy hubs by 2050.

Revolutionising renewable energy supply

Biomass and hydrogen are essential for Europe's transition to clean energy. Bio-FlexGen is focusing on ensuring that this transition is part of a circular approach in the use of biomass and hydrogen.

The project is making a real difference – those working on it are seeing how their input is contributing to a faster energy transition and therefore a better future.

Demonstrating solar-powered electric mobility for mototaxis

ENERGICA aims to demonstrate the efficient implementation of renewable energy technologies to match local contexts’ needs.

In this success story the project demonstrates the implementation of Africa’s first electric service station, offering a holistic and hassle-free riding experience to electric motorcycle users.

Unlocking the hidden value of agrifood sector residues

In this success story the Agro2Circular project is accelerating the upcycling of agri-food wastes through innovative ways to increase their value. 

The process and products will be completely traceable through an innovative ICT platform that functions as a predictive tool for supporting decisions.

Improving animal health with eco-healthy solutions

In this success story NeoGIANT is developing innovative sustainable alternatives using grape marc to protect food production in the future.

Given the increasingly uncertain environmental conditions and Europe’s move towards sustainable production and consumption this project contributes to developing circular value chains in the global agri-food sector.

 

Reducing food loss and waste with innovative solutions

SISTERS aims to design, implement and promote innovative strategies to systemically reduce food loss & waste.

In this success story, the project has developed the first version of an app that encourages farmers and other food producers to develop short  distribution channels  to meet that objective.

Presenting SDG data visually to enable climate resilient regions

ARSINOE has developed and released a knowledge graph that enables users to track SDG targets as well as national and regional indicators in one holistic approach. 

Having demonstrated its functionality, it is now being further developed for easy access by scientists and policy makers.

Supporting decarbonisation through local SECAPs and SDGs

Project LOCALISED introduced a set of potential indicators for assessing risks and vulnerabilities to Climate Change within both Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Sustainable Energy and Climate Action Plans (SECAPs) frameworks at once.

This output will save time and effort for users, support monitoring for assessment and enable standardisation for benchmarking and comparison.

Climate change information and mitigation services platform

CityCLIM has achieved major technological strides to provide near real-time extreme weather forecast warnings and to produce impact maps of mitigation scenarios.

The progress made so far means the project is on track to produce its City Climate Services for city administrators and citizens.
