Growing a low carbon, resource efficient economy with a sustainable supply of raw materials 2015 - 1 stage

This call forms part of an overall focus on investing in innovation for a green economy. The multi-disciplinary research and innovation required to effectively tackle this challenge in a sustainable way entails pooling complementary knowledge and resources, including the active involvement of socio-economic disciplines. The dissemination and uptake of research and innovation results by policy-makers, businesses and society at large is encouraged to empower actors at all levels of society to actively participate in this process.  Actions under this call aim to support businesses in developing and bringing to the market eco-innovative solutions and to encourage their take-up by public authorities in their procurement practices. They will also help move towards a new era of climate information systems and services, which can provide accessible, high quality and ultimately useful data for the public sector, business and society.  Actions under this call also aim to improve our understanding of the complex interactions within, across and between ecosystems and the different elements driving changes in the environment, in order to better tackle these challenges and to use the available knowledge e.g. to make ecosystem restoration more effective. Actions will address the need to both usefully harness Earth Observation data and to engage citizens in developing systems for effective transfer of environmental knowledge for the benefit of scientists, policy makers, business and society.  Actions will also focus on sustainable access to and production of raw materials to ensure significant reduction in resource use and a secure and sustainable supply of key raw materials.  Finally, a number of actions under this call aim to bring together and better coordinate research and innovation actions within Europe and beyond, accompanied by timely and open exchange of information and research results, to enhance the impact of research and innovation and ensure a more efficient use of scientific developments for policy, business and citizens.  Specifieke onderdelen:SC5-10c-2015: An EU support mechanism for evidence-based policy on biodiversity & ecosystems servicesSC5-11c-2015: Deep mining on continent and in sea-bedSC5-13c-2015: Innovation friendly minerals policy frameworkSC5-18b-2015: Integrating North African, Middle East and Balkan Earth Observation capacities in GEOSSSC5-19b-2015: Mapping Member State research and innovation in climate change, environment, resource efficiency and raw materialsSC5-11e-2015: New metallurgical systemsSC5-13e-2015: Raw materials intelligence capacitySC5-13f-2015: Strategic international dialogues and cooperation with raw materials producing countries and industrySC5-05b-2015: Earth-system modelling and climate servicesSC5-12b-2015: Materials under extreme conditionsSC5-15-2015: Strengthening the European Research Area in the domain of Earth ObservationSC5-11d-2015: New sustainable exploration technologies and geomodelsSC5-13d-2015: Raw materials research and innovation coordinationSC5-02-2015: ERA for Climate Services
