Webinar: EU Green Deal Call – Cross-cutting and citizen by Emma Fenton, Innovate UK

The UK has left the EU
• The UK left the European Union on 31st January 2020
• The UK left the EU with a Deal – the EU/UK Withdrawal Agreement
• The UK’s ability to participate in the Green Deal call is part of the Withdrawal
Agreement and detailed on the following slides
• The ongoing negotiations during the transition period between the
UK and the EU are about the future relationship and will have no
impact on the UK’s participation in the Green Deal call

Practical Implications
• Getting the message out that UK is fully eligible is difficult
• Potential consortium partners are wary
• UK entities need to demonstrate that their presence in the team adds to the
Pwin of the consortium
• Treat your approach to joining a team as a proposal in its own right – sell
yourself
• UK organisations can coordinate projects, but partners may be
unwilling unless clear and obvious benefits of doing so
• Instructions to evaluators “Experts should not evaluate proposals
with UK participants any differently than before”

Call Area 1: LC-GD-1-1-2020 - Preventing and fighting extreme wildfires with the
integration and demonstration of innovative means
• The new context of extreme wildfires requires accelerating the shift towards implementing a more holistic fire management
approach that integrates environmental, climate, health & safety/security, cultural and socio-economic aspects with:
• 1. Research, demonstration and deployment of innovative means and methods tailored to extreme wildfire behaviour.
• 2. Proactive governance, large-scale and community-based risk assessments, awareness and preparedness - where
citizens, local communities, the forestry and bio-economy sectors play a central role.
• The topic will be implemented through two distinct sub-topics:
• Subtopic 1. Speed up the pan-European adaptation process to extreme wildfires by advancing and applying research and
innovation including demonstration pilot sites while making best use of existing data and services.
• Subtopic 2. To ensure that the demonstration of innovative and integrated approaches fulfils the expected impacts, the
Innovation Actions will be supported by a Coordinated and Support Action (CSA).

10
Call Area 1: LC-GD-1-1-2020 (continued…)
• The actions funded under this call topic should jointly contribute substantially to the following targets by 2030 in
Europe (with respect to 2019):
• 0 fatalities from wildfires.
• 50% reduction in accidental fire ignitions.
• 55% reduction in emissions from wildfires.
• Control of any extreme and potentially harmful wildfire in less than 24 hours.
• 50% Natura 2000 protected areas to be fire-resilient.
• 50% reduction in building losses.
• 90% losses from wildfires insured.
• 25% increase in surface area of prescribed fire treatments at EU level

transportation: congestion, pollution and road collisions. Enhanced multimodality and facilitating the use of sustainable and
clean modes of transport.
• Ensure through twinning activities and other means to maximise impact and without leaving no one behind that an appropriate
geographical balance is achieved by demonstrating commitment of cooperation with at least one city per country.

In some regions and communities, incremental adaptation will not be sufficient to
mitigate the impacts of climate change on socio-ecological systems. We need
radical and transformative ways of reducing climate vulnerability and building
resilience

• This topic covers citizen deliberation and participation. Projects retained will establish transnational networks of experts,
researchers, practitioners and relevant civil society organisations specialised on deliberative democracy and civic
participation across Europe, including professionals in the field of public engagement. Experts on gender equality and
climate justice should also be included. They will share good practice, tools and resources in order to deliver on the Green
Deal, both at the level of local communities and at wider scale. They should establish connection across the diverse
participation and deliberation processes across regions and countries up to the European level. They should build on already
existing experience and tools, notably open access ones stemming from EU-funded projects.
• Provision will be made for several deliberative processes. Specific topics for deliberation will be co-decided with the EC
services involved in implementing the Green Deal. They will support major EU actions where public participation is key, in
close cooperation with the respective mission boards, and other R&I initiatives.

20
• Projects under this topic will enable collective design and ownership of Green Deal objectives and means,
engagement and change through citizen participation and deliberation processes. Consortia should choose a basket
of qualitative and quantitative indicators to measure the impact of their work. For example, they are expected to
contribute to one or several of the Sustainable Development Goals and are encouraged to make use of MoRRI
indicators
• Specific impacts include:
• Feeling of ownership and engagement through citizen deliberation and participation across Europe;
• Participatory identification of solutions contributing to the Green Deal;
• Enhanced involvement of citizens in the implementation of the European Green Deal and of the future Horizon
Europe missions;
• Stronger trust in policy and science institutions among citizens on Green Deal issues;
• Commitment and buy-in from a broad spectrum of social groups across Europe to support the Green Deal
targets and to engage in co-creation and co-implementation of transition pathways, including activation of
citizens through social innovation.

All areas of the Green Deal require considerable changes in the social
practices and behaviour of individuals, communities and public and private
organisations.

Call Area 10: LC-GD-10-2-2020: Behavioural, social and cultural change for the Green Deal
• This topic covers behavioural change at individual and collective levels, including public and private organisations as well as
broader changes in social practices related to the European Green Deal. Projects retained will establish transnational and
transdisciplinary networks of experts, researchers, practitioners and relevant civil society organisations on behavioural,
social and cultural change.
• Provision will be made for several experimental studies, each implemented in at least four Member States and/or associated
countries. Specific topics for case studies will be co-decided with the EC services involved in implementing the Green Deal.
They will support major EU actions where such change is key.
• Vulnerable and marginalised people, minorities and various age groups, including both youth and the elder generation, as
well as urban, peri-urban and rural areas, will be considered and included, with methods and tools adapted to the target
groups. Gendered issues will receive specific consideration.

22
• Projects under this topic will enable substantial behaviour change through implementation research on the behavioural
change of individuals, private corporations and/or the public sector across the EU.
• Consortia should choose a basket of qualitative and quantitative indicators to measure the impact of their work. Specific
impacts include:
• Structured transdisciplinary expertise, research and practice networks of the highest ethical and methodological
standards across Europe on the above.
• A more nuanced view of mindset and social and behavioural change mechanisms including enabling as well as
inhibiting factors for various groups and communities, through the lens of transdisciplinary research that integrates
historical, cultural, societal, economic and psychological perspectives.
• New strategies to induce behaviour change and long-term commitment, trust and buy-in from people, communities
and organisations.
• Innovative recommendations and incentives that consider differences between EU regions and social groups e.g. in
terms of urgency perceptions.

• Subtopic 1:
• The development of a multidisciplinary European competence framework within the context of lifelong learning for the
development and assessment of the knowledge, skills and attitudes of citizens and in particular young people on climate
change, sustainable development and environmental protection;
• the framework will serve as a reference tool for the Member States, the public and private sector, stakeholders, and NGOs
to help citizens to become engaged actors in the green transformation of society;
• the development of specific educational programmes, school curricula, trainings, networking activities and exchange of
good practices in the area of climate change and education for sustainable development;
• by undertaking consultations, testing and implementation of this framework in schools, universities, training institutions,
municipalities, public authorities in cooperation with the private sector, teachers, trainers, students, pupils, parents, the
wider community and social media will engage and make the behavioural changes needed for a successful transition;
• the participation of pupils and students, supported by scientists, educators and practitioners, in intergenerational dialogues
and exchanges on climate action, environmental protection and behavioural changes for sustainable development;
• the testing, dissemination and use of the European competence framework at concrete demonstration sites (e.g. in
schools, universities and identified education communities) and in innovative activities (e.g. incubators for citizen
participation, informal youth city councils, use of social media and digital tools…)

25
• Subtopic 2 - The project results are expected to contribute to:
• the development or strengthening of citizen science initiatives to engage citizens in the active collection of
environmental and socio-economic data through individual new or improved devices (such as wearable sensors,
a trusted user-friendly app with robust carbon footprint calculations, extreme weather community app, for the
purposes of early warning, marine and freshwater litter watch, etc.);
• the provision of personalized information to citizens and consumers about their environmental impact;
• a better monitoring of the environment (land, sea, air, etc.);
• behavioural change processes on the part of citizens, consumers and communities towards more sustainable
patterns in reducing their carbon and environmental footprint, changing their consumption and lifestyle choices
to achieve goals of a climate-neutral, sustainable Europe through concrete and targeted advice.

LC-GD-1-1-2020: Preventing and fighting extreme wildfires with the integration and
demonstration of innovative means

Area 8: Zero-pollution, toxic free environment
We focus on the sub-area: ‘Fostering regulatory science to address
combined exposures to industrial chemicals and pharmaceuticals’.
We believe that the key solution to this challenge lies in developing an
interdisciplinary approach that draws on new computational techniques
that will be applied both at the toxicological level and at the legal and
regulatory level. Such approach requires collaboration from experts
from chemistry, nano-materials and law.
We are looking for partners with a strong understanding of
computational toxicology as well as understanding of the EU
regulatory landscape for chemicals (eg REACH).
We bring a unique capacity to work on
interdisciplinary projects involving the
regulation and scientific analysis of novel
technologies. The team has already
collaborated in several projects including the
regulation of Nano-materials and the risks
and challenges underlying the shift into
Hydrogen Economy .
As a university-based group we bring deep
knowledge of the academic aspects of the
problem but also have vast experience of
working with industry and government
agencies.
Our team includes Bar-Ilan regulatory group based at the Faculty law, led by Prof
Oren Perez, Dean of the law school and head of the MA programme on Environmental
Regulation. Prof Perez is a leading international expert on risk regulation with more
than 60 publications and vast experience in heading interdisciplinary research
projects (http://ssrn.com/author=327866). Bar-Ilan's Institute for Nanotechnology and
Advanced Materials (BINA), established in 2007, boasts 64 cutting-edge laboratories
as well as state-of-the art "Scientific Service" facilities for Charged Particle
Microscopy (CPM), nanofabrication, surface analysis, and measurement, all of which
are available for use by the wider scientific community. It is led by Prof Dror Fixler.
(https://nano.biu.ac.il/about).
We have the capacity to act as coordinators
through BINA, drawing on its scientific and
administrative capabilities and on its
extensive international links.

Proposed Approach
Self-Organising UAV Swarms: Design and Formal Verification of Emergent System Behaviours Targeting
Autonomous Firefighting and Near Real-Time Monitoring to Assist Decision Making.
UAVs are already being used in extreme environments for emergency response and disaster relief.
Few drones can be remotely controlled & coordinated to operate simultaneously: Limited suppression power.
Self-Organising UAV Swarms: Safe, robust, resilient and scalable system able to cope with uncertainty, errors,
perturbations, and the failure or loss of a few units.
Key enabling technology: development of self-organisation algorithms enabling UAVs to communicate and
allocate tasks amongst themselves, plan trajectories, & self-coordinate flights to achieve objectives.
Autonomous firefighting system: Post COVID-19 procedures include keeping crews isolated, transporting fewer

Proposed Approach
• Reclamation of “heavy metals”, i.e. Pb, Cd, Zn Cu, As contaminated urban soil for safe urban
agriculture. Reducing GHG food millage. Reducing social tensions by improving income and
integration of minorities and other vulnerable groups.
• Reclamation of contaminated soil in vulnerable regions to improve environment, biodiversity,
health, production of safe food, and other soil ecosystem services.
• Project aiming to restore biodiversity and ecosystem services in contaminated areas by soil
remediation and other means.
• Social acceptance of eco-innovative interventions. Our “chemically” based, but fully sustainable
soil remediation technology could serve as a research model to address lack of trust, lack of
knowledge and understanding and fostering citizen participation.
• Research and demonstrational project targeting soils dually contaminated with “heavy metals”
and organic pollutants.
Demonstrational soil remediation plant (1.5 t /
batch), mobile remediation plant (300 kg / batch).

R&D, highly innovative SME
Experience
Envit Ltd, a spin out company from University of Ljubljana developed ReSoil technology for efficient
removal and simultaneous immobilisation of residual “heavy metals” from contaminated soils.
ReSoil recycle the main reagent (chelator) and all process waters by using inexpensive materials. No
waste-waters or other emissions are generated, only solid “heavy metals” enriched waste is
produced which could be reused in circular economy. ReSoil addresses all aspects of sustainability.
The IP for ReSoil technology is protected by 3 international (EU, USA, China) patents and was
awarded with Seal of Excellence from EU Commission.

1.2. Towards climate-neutral and socially innovative cities
8.1. Innovative, systemic zero-pollution solutions
10. Empowering citizens

Proposed Approach
A toxic-free environment will need new chemical products that are non-hazardous and not
persistent. They will need to fulfil their intended function.
To achieve this aim, chemical design must include simultaneous assessment of performance and
hazard profile from the earliest stages of research through to commercialisation. The approaches
needed are not standard. A stepwise approach is slow and inefficient.
GCD has skills to understand the two languages of R&D and regulatory compliance, and is seeking:
- forward-thinking industries with problems to solve, and
- academics with cutting-edge knowledge of the (bio)chemistry around persistence of chemicals.
We have the chemical ingenuity to move from
aspiration to practical research and development.
GCD is a new business (SME).
We have built and collaborated in many diverse
teams, a skill essential to achieve the aims.
Experience
GCD majors on green chemistry and bio-based R&D, working all around Europe.
Our team has 40 years’ experience in the chemical industry, particularly in predictive modelling of
chemical properties and risk assessment, working for several multinationals and then mainly as
the consultancy PFA. We have collaborated with major European chemical companies in research
and regulatory compliance, and have worked for the main EU chemical regulatory bodies.
GCD has the capabilities to help direct or participate in major programmes. We are connected to
major academic institutions working on green chemistry. We understand the Green Deal drive for
sustainable chemicals.
We have in a short time made good progress in substitution of hazardous substances.
We seek to be a partner.

Proposed Approach: Retrofitting existing homes effectively, reliably and efficiently is a challenge
fraught with cost overruns and unintended consequences, made more complex by the impact of
modern materials on historic building fabric, inter-dependencies of combined measures (possibly
leading to retrofit failure), not accounting for user behaviour, a lack of visibility of performance, and
post-retrofit analysis. Q-Bot's Digital Automated Retrofit Toolset combines a unique, patent pending
surveying platform, 3D thermal scanning tool and highly scalable digital architecture in order to
survey buildings, clearly understand their needs, build a digital twin, identify and manage risks,
specify the most cost-effective upgrade path, and connect customers with the right suppliers and
solutions. Digitising the building datasets, architypes, and design process will enable:
•identification of repeatable sequences and actions for automation;
•learning outcomes and best practise to be shared; and,
•implementation of deep learning to identify patterns and trends.
Organisational Capabilities: Q-Bot is an innovative
SME that successfully developed and deployed the
first BBA accredited robotic retrofit insulation
process that improves performance while reducing
retrofit costs. Q-Bot’s robots have now successfully
insulated over 1000 homes. The team behind Q-Bot
has a track record for running start-ups, developing
and commercialising award-winning innovations.
The company has built a rapid product development
team of 20 engineers, a network of consultants and
local manufacturers and an in-house research lab
with rapid prototyping and testing facilities.
Experience: Q-Bot has successfully participated in and delivered several projects including H2020
SME Instrument and various Innovate UK and BEIS funded programmes.
The company was founded by Prof Peter RN Childs,
Imperial College London, and Tom Lipinski, with

Proposed Approach
How can substantial (pro-environmental) changes in behaviour be brought about without impeding
quality of life?
Our approach is motivated by a recognition that strategies for such change must be at once
imaginative and realistic. We wish to combine philosophical theorizing on wellbeing and the good
life, studies of literary explorations of societal transitions and lifestyle changes, user-involvement
methodologies and experimental research on the psychological mechanisms that may
prevent or support behavioural changes (but can also contribute with work in only some, or one, of
these fields). We are looking for a consortium dedicated to specific actions and empirical studies, to
which we can add a philosophical, psychological and/or literary dimension.
We are an academic organization. The University of
Southern Denmark is particularly skilled at
promoting interdisciplinary research – and officially
dedicated to promoting the UNO sustainable
development goals
Experience
Our group has experience with applying philosophy and literary studies to issues of contemporary
societal concern, with user-involvement methodology and working with partners from outside

psychology etc.

You and CO2 addresses Topic 10-3, subtopic 1, specifically points 2) assessing young people’s
knowledge, skills, and attitudes; and 3) providing a specific educational programme designed to
enhance knowledge of and engagement with sustainability goals.
Partners that would benefit the project would be teams that can translate the project’s materials
into other languages, implement the project in schools, and/or expand the project’s cultural reach
to multiple socioeconomic levels and cultural backgrounds.
You & CO2 is interdisciplinary, and has an
established teaching programme (both in-person
and online) ready to implement, with active efficacy
measures built-in.
You & CO2 is an interdisciplinary project run by four
academics at four education institutions in the UK.
Experience
You & CO2 has trialled its programme in two schools in Wales, and will be widening its
implementation to more schools throughout the UK in 2021. The project incorporates surveys to
measure engagement and effect. It has also been implemented in Technocamps, with plans to
implement with eduCCate Global (partnered with the UN).
Project scientist Jennifer Rudd is active with climate change activist groups and circular economy
projects. Project artist Lyle Skains is active with interactive narrative networks. Project education
expert Helen Ross is active with schools and teachers, as well as consulting with Special Educational
Needs policymakers.
We are open to being both Coordinator or Partner.
