Measuring Citizen Science has never been an easy task for any scientific researcher. It has also even harder for citizen science projects, which do not follow traditional methods. The good news is that now, EU researchers are building the first integrated and interactive platform, including 200 variables, to measure costs and benefits of citizen science.

Through Citizen Science, EU citizens and scientists can work together to improve the impact of EU funding in research! In the latest CORDIS EU's Results Pack, you can discover twelve EU-funded projects that are building the capacities and networks needed to foster successful collaborations with citizens across Europe.
HSbooster.eu is a new service for Horizon Europe and Horizon 2020 projects that will support their ability to uptake standardisation. Projects will receive advice on how research results can create impact and become marketable solutions! HSbooster.eu is also recruiting Standardisation Experts from national, European and international Standardisation Organisations.

Turning viruses into biocontrol agents to combat the bacteria, fungi and insects that attack crops could reduce our dependence on chemicals and open the door to next generation pesticides. Check out how EU-funded project ViroPLANT proposes to reduce our dependence on chemicals.
Scientists supported by the EU-funded FORGENIUS project have presented a new data set showing current and potential future distributions of European tree species. Called EU-Trees4F, the data set provides a detailed model on how the ranges of 67 tree species will change between now and 2095. It will help to improve data currently available for the conservation of genetic diversity of tree species in Europe’s forests.
Effective packaging preserves food, reducing the amount we have to throw away and all the use of natural resources that it represents. EU-funded MyPack has produced an online tool to guide packaging providers to use the packaging that best suit a product.
Plant nutrients from food, sewage and brine waste water could be recovered from EU soils through innovative treatment technologies. In a video, EU-funded project Walnut presents how it intends to shift from a linear to a circular model for a sustainable agriculture and fertilizer industry.
Evaluations are ongoing. The successful consortia will be informed in June 2022. Successful proposals of the two-stage calls will be invited to submit a full proposal by 6 September 2022.
Total amount of applications exceeded five times more than the available budget. Evaluations are ongoing, and the successful projects will be communicated in June/July 2022.
40 was the total number of projects submitted to the 2021 Soil Mission call with a deadline of 24 March. Over 30 experts are evaluating the proposals. Successful projects will be informed in June.
Ready to help shape a greener, digital, and more innovative Europe? The European Commission is looking for experts to help select the best proposals for EU research and innovation funding. Check what specialists we need, and join a team of experts in evaluating proposals and reviewing pioneering projects.
Applicants to the upcoming Soil Mission call for proposals will learn about the kind of projects the European Commission would like to support with Horizon Europe funding. The agenda is already available.
Agricultural products are a key part of the European economy and an important component of trade between the EU and the rest of the world. In autumn 2021, REA carried out a flash barometer survey to better understand the level of awareness and knowledge about EU agricultural food and beverage products. The survey took place in ten countries outside the EU: China, India, Indonesia, Japan, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, South Korea, Thailand, UAE, UK. Consult the results via the below link.
