23 New Environment Projects To Be Funded Under Horizon 2020

The European Commission has selected 23 proposals for funding under Horizon 2020's Societal Challenge "Climate action, environment, resource efficiency and raw materials".

The new projects will receive an EU contribution of more than € 130.5 million. They were chosen from a total of 105 proposals which had been submitted by 21 April 2015 in reply to three calls for proposals under Horizon 2020 (H2020-SC5-WASTE-WATER-2015-one-Stage).

Evaluation panels of independent experts recommended funding:

  • 18 actions dealing with "Growing a low carbon, resource efficient economy with a sustainable supply of raw materials",
  • 3 water innovation actions and
  • 2 actions on waste as a resource of raw materials.

Grant agreements are now being prepared so that the new projects can start as of January 2016.
