This funding opportunity supports the deployment of living labs to enhance soil health across Continental, Black Sea, Pannonian, and Steppic biogeographical regions. Projects should involve multiple actors in real-life sites to co-create economically viable soil health solutions, improve soil monitoring, and generate practice-oriented knowledge. The initiative aims to establish 100 living labs and lighthouses by 2030, contributing to EU policies and sustainable land management goals.
Eligible applicants must focus on living labs within specified European biogeographical regions and apply a multi-actor approach. Participants must meet financial and operational capacity requirements and comply with admissibility conditions including proposal format and eligible countries.
