EU Horizon 2020 Call - Citizen Science Apps for a Green Deal

Wednesday, 23 September 2020 23:15

The new call in the EU Horizon 2020 program aims for supporting and implementing a Green Deal. For projects participating in this call and searching for partners for Citizen Science Apps and participatory tools, we are happy to help!

Citizen Science App development for Horizon 2020 - Green Deal

With the Spotteron app platform, we can provide the basis for interactive toolkits with already many built-in features, communication tools and high privacy ethics. We are already a partner in successful Horizon 2020 projects, so there is already some experience in terms of how the procedures work and what is needed.

As a SME with a strong background on design and development and much experience in Citizen Science on current technologies, we co-create such toolkits together with the other partners and we can also lead tasks or work-packages within the range of our expertise. Such tasks can range from the development and design of the CitSci Apps over add-on tools e.g. for crowdsourced data-analysis to simply the project website. We also take care of all digital tools and maintain them for the project during the whole runtime and beyond for optimal compatibility, stability and security, which is especially important in the fast-changing environment of mobile technology and smartphone apps.

For proposals themselves, we also love to help out with well-designed infographics, icons and project logos, which has been highlighted as beneficial in the reviewers' feedback.

Supporting an European Green Deal is also a personal matter

One thing to mention regarding the call's topic - as active participants in the "climate and eco-movement", counteracting climate change, fighting biodiversity loss and supporting the necessary transition is something dear to our heart. So this project call is especially important for us on a personal level, too and we would love to join partnerships for contributing towards making a change.

Horizon 2020 Invasive Species Monitoring App

The IPM-Popillia Horizon 2020 project aims to address the challenge of a new risk to plant health in Europe's agriculture and food safety: the invasion of the Japanese Beetle, Popillia japonica. This invasive species was introduced accidentally to mainland Europe in 2014 and can quickly spread by transportation and trade. As a species with a wide range of feeding plants, P. japonica threatens the entire agricultural sector, urban landscapes, and biodiversity in invaded areas.

EFFECTIVE, a Horizon Europe initiative, targets the emerging threat to the EU's Mediterranean Blue Natural Capital. By leveraging advanced science, technological nature-based solutions, digitalization, and social implication, the project aims to develop a comprehensive scientific knowledge base and practical guidance for the application of Ecosystem-Based Management to promote large-scale marine protected areas establishment in the European seas.

TRANSEATION, funded by Horizon Europe, aims to validate a new level of ecosystem-based management by integrating social implication digitalization and nature-based solutions to safeguard and restore marine ecosystem health and services. The project focuses on demonstrating the effectiveness of marine and coastal hybrid blue-grey infrastructures and developing digital tools for monitoring, analysis, and social involvement, addressing societal challenges and promoting sustainable management practices.

Horizon 2020 Citizen Social Science App

In Europe and globally, substantial numbers of young people are at risk of social exclusion. Therefore, there is a pressing need to develop more knowledge and innovation to create inclusive and youth-friendly societies. The Horizon 2020 R&I Project YouCount contributes to these needs by developing 'actionable' knowledge for social inclusion of disadvantaged youths in the European Union and creating better means for social inclusion through citizen social science.

Horizon 2020 Citizen Science App

The impact of plastic pollution on soil health is largely unknown. However, the amounts of plastic entering soils are equal to or possibly even more significant than those entering our rivers, seas, and oceans. MINAGRIS, an EU Horizon 2020 funded project, will investigate how plastic affects soil biodiversity, soil functions, associated ecosystem services, and agricultural productivity.
