European Digital Media observatory (EDMO) – National and multinational hubs

Deadline: 26 September 2023

Expected outcome:

At the end of the actions, a network of existing and newly established research hubs will be active across the EU under the coordination of EMDO.
Networks of experts and organizations linked to the hubs will be part of a European multidisciplinary which will actively detect, analyse and expose disinformation campaigns in Europe.
Each hu will have produced or contribute to at least 100 fact-checks, 20 investigations and reports on disinformation campaigns and shared them through EMDO.
Each hub will have established at least 10 tailor-made media literacy programs in Member States and produced reports(at least 1 per year) regarding the implementation and effectiveness of online platforms policies to tackle disinformation.

Objective:

The objective of this topic is to finance the work of independent national/ multinational hubs for analysis of digital media ecosystems in order to ensure the coverage of geographical areas covered by the EMDO hubs for which the funding is ending at the end of 2023 and in 2024.

Scope:

Support will be provided to:

Cooperate with national authorities for the monitoring of online platforms’ policies and digital media ecosystem in the territory or linguistic area covered by the proposal. In particular, they will provide relevant insights which might help competent national authorities, including the audio-visual regulator(s), monitoring the implementation of the Strengthened Code of Practice on Disinformation by its signatories.
Create tailor-made media literacy campaigns for the covered territory or linguistic area. Hubs will leverage on the exchange of good practices and materials coordinated by EMDO and contribute to the EMDO repositories with newly created educational and training materials.

European Blue Parks – Protection and restoration of marine habitats

Deadline: 20 September 2023

Expected Outcomes:

To support the implementation of the European Green Deal, the Biodiversity Strategy and the Nature Restoration Law, project results are expected to contribute to all of the following expected outcomes:

Effectively managed marine protected areas with clear science-based conservation measures that contribute to the restoration and protection of marine ecosystems and support a shift towards strictly protected areas ;
Protection and restoration of marine habitats and species through strictly protected areas, in particular of seabed habitats, including to preserve their carbon sequestration capacity, ensure spill-over of fish, provide ecosystem functionality and maintain connectivity;
Enhanced resilience and adaptation potential of coastal and marine ecosystems and improved provision of their ecosystem services, in particular in relation to climate change mitigation/adaptation and to fisheries;
Active support to the Mission’s Digital Ocean and Water Knowledge system through advances in biological, ecosystem and socio-economic knowledge applied to restoration;
Reinforces EU leadership in international efforts to stop and reverse biodiversity loss, in line with the EU key priorities and international commitments;
A blueprint for the designation and management of marine protected areas.

Scope:

Proposals are expected to show how their activities and results will achieve the Mission objective 1 –

Protect and restore marine and freshwater ecosystems and biodiversity.
Proposals will develop and demonstrate protection and restoration solutions to address the degradation of coastal and marine ecosystems.
Proposals should significantly improve the management of marine protected area in particular through definition of clear science-based conservation objectives and implementation of the necessary conservation measures to achieve those objectives.

Nevertheless, in well justified cases, proposals may address either specific vulnerable species or habitats that are under strong pressures or that have the most potential to capture and store carbon. Proposals could consider and assess pros and cons of some active restoration activities whereby native habitats building species would be reintroduced in degraded marine and coastal habitats to facilitate the natural recovery.

Alternative Fuel Infrastructure Facility – Works – Zero Emissions

Deadline: 07 November 2023

Objective:

The objective is to support the deployment of Alternative Fuel supply infrastructure, contributing to decarbonising transport along the TEN-T network

Scope:

Actions supporting the roll-out of hydrogen refuelling infrastructure on the TEN-T road network, with priority to long haul heavy-duty transport;
Actions supporting the roll-out of hydrogen refuelling and electricity recharging infrastructure dedicated to public transport and heavy-duty vehicles in urban nodes;
Action supporting the deployment of alternative fuels for TEN-T maritime ports, inland waterways and inland ports, and airports;
Actions supporting the roll-out of hydrogen refuelling infrastructure on sections of the TEN-T rail network for which a derogation from the electrification requirement has been granted.

Ocean & water and arts: the contribution of creative sectors to Mission Ocean and waters

Deadline: 20 September 2023

Expected Outcome:

Stimulate the citizens interest in and fascination by ocean and waters;
Boost interest in working in the blue economies, engaging in ocean and water management and protection and blue research and innovation;
Connect coastal and maritime communities with their habitats and their ecological, aesthetic and cultural heritage;
Mobilisation of artistic communities and creative sectors for the protection and restoration of ocean, seas and inland waters and their biodiversity and for the empowerment of these communities and citizens to act against pollution and destruction of marine and freshwater ecosystems.

Scope:

Art and creative sectors can play an important role in the mobilization of citizens, stakeholders and civil society actors, such as NGOs and the philanthropic community, for the protection and restoration, of the waters and inland waters, their biodiversity, aesthetic and cultural heritage. Creative activities can also play an important role in addressing the challenges of coastal areas, thus contributing to the New Bauhaus initiative. Mobilisation, cooperation and coordination should be envisaged at interregional/transnational level. Proposals are encouraged to build synergies with relevant activities supported under the Creative Europe programme and with other New European Bauhaus projects, notably those based in coastal and maritime regions.

Access to health and care services for people in vulnerable situations

Deadline: 19 September 2023

Expected Outcome:

This topic aims at supporting activities that are enabling or contributing to one or several expected impacts of destination 4 “Ensuring access to innovative, sustainable and high quality health care”.

Decision and policymakers, providers and health and care workers have access to innovative solutions to promote and improve access to health and care services for people in vulnerable situations.
People in vulnerable situations are involved in the design and implementation of research and innovation activities concerning access to health and care services.
People in vulnerable situations are better equipped inn terms of health and digital literacy, knowledge about their rights etc. when it comes to access to health and care services.
Decision and policy makers and providers have access to reliable quantitative data on health inequalities in access to health and care services for people in vulnerable situations.

Scope:

Equal and needs-based access to health and care services are important values of the EU.

At the same time there is plenty of evidence that indicates that there is unmet need for health and care services. There are significant health inequalities between the LGBTIQ community and the population as a whole. Whilst factors outside the health and care sector also have an impact on peoples access to health and care services, health and care systems can influence and facilitate across through accessibility, costs, referrals and attitudes.

Arts and cultural awareness and expression in education and training

Deadline: 07 February 2024

Expected Outcome:

Projects should contribute to all the following outcomes:

Develop and apply methods to support the use of arts in education and interventions to foster cultural awareness and expression and to assess their impacts on the development of competences and inclusion of all children and young people.
Inform policies, programmes and actions using arts in education and contributing to foster cultural awareness and expression, identify existing gaps and effective actions to reach most children and young people and develop recommendations.

Scope:

Arts in education and developing cultural awareness and expression – one of the key competences for lifelong learning[1] have value in themselves. They are also used to develop creativity, innovation, critical and design thinking, communication, collaboration and intercultural skills and, more broadly, for inclusive education and training systems, democracy and civic engagement, but stronger evidence is needed to better understand and assess these impacts. Research evidence is also missing on whether, and how, education and training systems have capacity to support learners in developing cultural awareness and expression.

Proposals should support policymakers and professional development providers in identifying effective actions and gaps in their systems, and better understanding how their investments could be improved. Proposals should include a lifelong learning perspective (early childhood education and care, school, vocational education and training and higher education, non-formal learning), and assess national, regional and local support for partnerships, for example between education institutions and arts and cultural heritage organisations.
