Horizon Europe Mission: A Soil Deal for Europe - Community Building Event
This webinar will focus on the sharing of UK soils expertise and capabilities with key stakeholders across the UK and Europe. UK organisations have already been successful in the 2021 Soils Mission. We will direct our attention to the research areas covered by the Horizon Europe ‘A Soil Deal for Europe’ Mission with a view to foster collaborations for building consortia for the 2023 Mission Call Topics and over the lifetime of the Programme.

The UK National Contact Points will provide information on opportunities available under this programme.

In the breakout rooms delegates can take part in a group discussion around specific themes taken from the 2023 ‘A Soil Deal for Europe’ Mission Call Topics. This will help identify opportunities for participation and building collaborations.
In addition delegates can share information with other delegates on a brief summary of their organisation’s capabilities, interest and proposals currently in preparation for the Soil Missions calls. This will be done through our template that must be returned by latest 27th February 2023.
