Full title in the source: Deploying circular systemic solutions through living labs in cities and regions (Circular Cities and Regions Initiative topic)

Öffnet am 4. Februar 2027

Das EU-Programm Horizon Europe plant 2 Förderungen mit 5 Mio. € pro Projekt bei einem Gesamtbudget von 10 Mio. €. Die Einreichungsfrist endet am 8. April 2027 (EU-Ausschreibungen enden meist um 17:00 Uhr Brüsseler Zeit). Organisationen aus EU-Mitgliedstaaten und assoziierten Ländern wie der Türkei können in der Regel teilnehmen; maßgeblich sind die Bedingungen des Topics.

Die offiziellen Beschreibungen sind in der Sprache des Fördergebers (meist Englisch); Zusammenfassung und Eckdaten auf dieser Seite sind auf Deutsch.

Erwartete Ergebnisse

Project results are expected to contribute to all of the following expected outcomes:

• increased circularity and reduced emissions of greenhouse gases and air pollutants in the economic sectors, services and product value chains at local and/or regional scale. This also includes an efficient valorisation of local resources, with positive effects on air and water quality as well as on biodiversity;

• widespread deployment and easier replication, scalability and visibility of circular systemic solutions for a multiplication of their economic, social and environmental benefits;

• enhanced collaboration and knowledge transfer between public authorities (cities and regions), companies, research and citizens in addressing environmental challenges, such as climate-change, resource depletion and biodiversity loss.

Umfang

This topic supports the implementation of the European Commission’s Circular Cities and Regions Initiative (CCRI). It builds on a series of CCRI-related topics funded under Horizon 2020 and Horizon Europe, and replicated every one to two programming year since 2021. The goal is to accelerate place-based innovation, boost skills and capacities and support the implementation of solutions for a circular systemic transition at city or region level. Implementing circular systemic solutions reduces environmental impacts and contribute to the preservation of biodiversity, by decreasing the extraction of primary raw materials and minimizing waste generation.

This topic specifically focuses on moving from demonstration to further deployment and upscaling through the setup of well-functioning real-life innovation ecosystem, such as living labs. This topic targets public local and regional authorities (or their groupings) in EU Member States and Associated Countries. Proposed living labs should enable systematic participation of all ecosystem stakeholder in targeted cities and regions to co-create solutions that are practical, relevant, and readily applicable. These stakeholders include citizens, policymakers, research bodies, academia, industries, start-ups and SMEs, social economy entities and financial intermediaries. In line with the nature of living labs, projects must adopt the multi-actor approach to involve end-users. The actors involved in each living lab may vary, based on its unique characteristics. Proposals should set up engaging and effective governance structures, facilitate collaboration and coordination, and ensure continuous feedback and monitoring to enable an iterative and flexible process. Proposals should integrate systemic socio-ecological approaches and involve the effective contribution of SSH disciplines (e.g., economics, politics, sociology, psychology, gender studies).
