["NWE0300385","MORE4Sustainability","Maintenance, Overhaul, Repair & Engineering for Sustainability","The NWE region is key to reach the EU’s target of an increased overall energy efficiency of 32,5% until \n\n2030. The industry in NWE is the largest consumer of fossil energy and still needs to takes considerable steps in order to reach the objectives. A set of best practices, called Sustainable Asset Management (AM) helps industrial companies to improve energy efficiency and to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Sustainable AM is contributing to this goal through the consistent application of practical Maintenance, Overhaul, Repair & Engineering (MORE) activities, like equipment isolation, low energy lighting, high-efficiency HVAC, equipment electrification, condition monitoring, preventive maintenance, waste heat capturing, energy management systems, etc. Unfortunately only few companies in NWE are aware of this potential and have actually started with Sustainable Asset Management. \n\nThe project aims to promote energy efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions in NWE Industry through developing and implementing a training program on Sustainable AM for the target audience of asset managers (technical managers, maintenance managers, engineers, operational managers,...). \n\nThe project will be executed in Belgium, The Netherlands, France and Germany, covering over 80% of the industry in NWE. We focus on industries such as Oil & Chemicals, Steel, Food & Beverage, Life Sciences, Paper & Pulp, Automotive, Consumer Electronics, Aerospace, Advanced manufacturing technologies and Power Generation industries. Thanks to the transnational cooperation, we gain a sufficient critical mass to identify best practices and their impact being applied at still a limited number of front runners the industries and include them in the training material. This would not be possible without transnational cooperation. The project will enable for the first time to identify the early adopters, document their best practices and the impact on reaching the energy efficiency and greenhouse gas reduction goals, and, based on these findings, train technical managers in industrial companies throughout NWE to implement Sustainable Asset Management.","2024-01-01","2025-06-30","(VI-B_NWE_2) Smart and just energy transition","RSO2.1.

The project team and steering board were successfully established, ensuring smooth coordination from the outset. A calendar for future meetings was developed, and all partner organizations have been actively engaged.\n\nOne of the most significant achievements was the development of the Sustainable Asset Management Framework. This framework was collaboratively developed by the project partners with input from an Expert Board composed of academic experts. While the creation of the framework took longer than expected, it was completed in March 2024 and provides a comprehensive structure for classifying sustainable asset management practices. This framework will serve as the foundation for developing the training materials in the next phases of the project.\n\nThe cooperation among the project partners, especially with the insights provided by the Expert Board, was crucial to the framework’s success. This collaboration will be vital for the effectiveness of the training materials, ensuring the project’s success in later stages.\n\nIn parallel, the project partners worked on the Sustainable Asset Management Benchmark Study, designed to assess current practices. Due to the complexity of the subject and the need for input from all partners, the finalization of the study was delayed until May 2024. However, this extra time ensured it reflected the diverse expertise within the partnership. The Benchmark Study, refined through feedback, was completed by May 2024, along with a manual and multilingual training materials available in four languages.\n\nTo promote the study, the project partners organized webinars in March 2024, which were recorded and made available online. Additional videos were created to inspire participation. Despite a slow start, additional strategies were developed to boost participant recruitment.\n\nA Communication Strategy was also developed collaboratively, ensuring all partners contributed and met publication obligations. A document tracking the execution of the Communication Plan was created to monitor progress.\n\nThe project successfully engaged the industrial asset management community in Belgium, the Netherlands, France, and Germany, particularly around the Sustainable Asset Management Framework.\n\nThe project’s next phase will focus on developing training materials for 600 participants in sustainable asset management. The project also aims to raise broader awareness through a roadmap to Sustainable Asset Management. By implementing best practices learned during training, participants are expected to improve energy efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions within their companies.\n\nIn summary, the first reporting period laid a strong foundation for future success, with the completion of the Sustainable Asset Management Framework and the development of the Benchmark Study. The collaborative efforts of the project partners have been instrumental in achieving these goals, setting the stage for the next phases of the project.\nThe MORE4Sustainability project is advancing steadily toward its goal of helping industrial companies in North-West Europe improve their energy efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions through better maintenance and asset management practices. After establishing the project foundations in the first reporting period, the second period (July 2024 – December 2024) focused on gathering real-world insights from the field, preparing impactful training materials, and getting ready to launch a major knowledge-sharing campaign in 2025.\n\nBenchmarking the State of Sustainability\n\nAt the core of the project is a benchmark survey to understand how companies across Belgium, the Netherlands, France and Germany are already applying Sustainable Asset Management (SAM) practices. In total, 86 case studies were collected — 20 from participating asset owners, 11 from service providers, and 55 through industry articles and events. These cases provide a valuable picture of the current landscape: what works, where the challenges lie, and how companies are starting to make sustainability part of their asset management strategies.\n\nTo ensure the quality of this data, one-on-one validation sessions with participating companies began in late 2024. These sessions are helping the team interpret the data accurately and extract the most relevant insights for future training and guidance materials.\n\nRoadmap and Training: Guiding the Industry Forward\n\nThe validated benchmark data now serves as the foundation for a Roadmap to Sustainable Asset Management — a practical guide that explains how companies can start or strengthen their sustainability journey through maintenance and asset strategies. The roadmap is being co-developed by project partners and an expert board to ensure both technical accuracy and industry relevance. Its launch is scheduled for March 2025.\n\nIn parallel, the project team has developed the structure and first draft of a multilingual training programme — designed to reach 600 professionals through classroom and e-learning formats. Training content draws directly from the benchmark results and real-life best practices, and aims to empower professionals with the tools, frameworks and confidence to take action in their own organisations. Pilot sessions are planned to start in March 2025 across all four partner countries.\n\nCommunication and Cooperation\n\nIn this reporting period, significant preparation was also done for the launch event and training promotion campaign. Press releases, flyers, and coordination materials have been drafted and aligned across countries. A shared communication strategy and planning tool help ensure that partners speak with one voice — while tailoring messages to their national audiences.\n\nThe added value of this transnational cooperation lies in the diversity of inputs and the ability to compare and combine practices from multiple industrial contexts. Each partner brings unique networks, expertise and perspectives — from detailed content development (Mainnovation) to national engagement and event organisation (BEMAS, NVDO, EMC2, FVI).\n\nDespite some challenges, including delays in participant recruitment and data inconsistencies, the project has adapted flexibly — shifting focus toward showcasing “early adopters” and their real-world stories. These case studies are proving invaluable in making the content relatable and motivating for a wider audience.\n\nLooking Ahead\n\nWith benchmark validation ongoing, training materials in development, and training schedules taking shape, the project is now fully prepared to enter its final — and most visible — phase. By mid-2025, hundreds of professionals across NWE will have access to the knowledge and tools they need to make sustainability a practical reality in their asset management work.","Bouguenais, Ratingen, Houten, Dordrecht, SINT-DENIJS-WESTREM","FR, DE, NL, BE",{"$nulls":5},5]
["NWE0200228","PREUSE","Public Responses to Enable the Use of Salvaged building Elements","Despite the commitment of public authorities to adopt circular practices in public construction works, organising the reclamation and reuse of building materials remains a challenge. Tackling it calls to rethink the current economic system and the value chains on which it relies.\n\nThe project aims at supporting local and regional public authorities to improve the management of their material resources and implement systemic solutions to reclaim and reuse building materials.\n\nThese solutions include (1) a global strategy to set up local and regional reuse centres which will be translated into contextual actions plans and pilot projects, (2) a joint effort to increase the capacity of the construction industry to uptake reuse (incl. through a joint training scheme and pilot actions). As a result, public authorities, contracting authorities, actors of the construction industry and local communities will gain access to tangible and reproducible solutions to foster the reuse of building materials on their territory.\n\nThe approach draws on the close collaboration between local and regional public authorities (envisioned both as policy makers and contracting bodies) and reuse experts to implement, in a direct and operational way, the solutions at stake. The partnership draws on existing solutions (incl. those previously developed by project partners) and of the diversity of more-or-less-advanced initiatives throughout the NWE area to ensure a better dissemination and uptake of promising models and innovative solutions.\n\nThe originality of the project lies in its double focus. On hand, it promotes place-based reuse centres as a necessary solution to enable public authorities to reuse more building material on their territory. On the other hand, it embraces a larger approach targeting the actors of the construction industry in general to reach a critical mass and ensure long-term changes.","2024-01-01","2028-02-29","(VI-B_NWE_3) Transition towards a place-based circular economy","RSO2.6.

French PPs also took part in a national webinar (2 Feb. 2024).\n\nTwo Partners Meetings were held during P1: \n28-29 Feb. and 1 Mar. 2024: project kick-off hosted by Rotor (Brussels). For PPs and Associated Organisations (AOs). The agenda included a visit to two inspiring examples of reuse centres (a municipal depot for roadworks materials and a reuse centre for arts materials).\n18-19 June 2024: partners meeting hosted by Bellastock and GPM (Greater Paris Metropolis) in Paris. PPs visited the City of Paris reuse centre for pavements.\n\nThe PPs adopted various tools used for the project implementation, including a documents sharing server (set up by the LIST), templates, etc. They agreed on internal and external communication measures.\n\nAs Lead Partner (LP), Rotor ensured that a clear framework is set and liaised with the JS on occasional issues.\n\nAll the PPs selected their controllers.\n\nWork Package 1 (WP1)\nDuring period 1, the different activities of WP1 were tackled together, as they are largely intertwined.\nRotor coordinates the efforts on the \"State of the Art\" (D. 1.1.1), which is the basis for the elaboration of the \"Strategy for Reuse Centres\" (Act. 1.1), but is also closely linked to the discussions on the \"Action Plans\" (Act. 1.2) and the \"Pilot Actions\" (Act. 1.3).\n\nMechelen (MEC) collected input from the PPs and AOs through a survey for the preparation of the Action Plans, while MEC, GPM and Wiltz liaised internally and with local stakeholders to prepare their Action Plan. GMP had two specific meetings with local stakeholders (16 Jan. and 14 Mar. 2024). \n\nLa Fabrique des Quartiers (LFDQ) led the discussions on the Pilot Actions, and involved PPs sharing their current situation. The City of Lorient launched a public call for tender to find an external expert to help them define their reuse centre. The contract was awarded to Urbanova in June 2024.\n\nSeveral meetings were held around WP1 activities:\nOverall kick-off of WP1 (9 April 2024).\nDiscussion on the State of the Art (22 May 2024).\nPresentation of the results of the survey regarding the Action Plans (30 May).\nDiscussion on the State of the Art with AO Valdelia (11 June).\nDiscussion between LFDQ, Lorient, GPM and Utrecht about the Pilot Actions (28 June).\n\nWork Package 2 (WP2)\nActivity 2.1 - Develop a training scheme on reclamation and reuse. \nThree online meetings were held on 26 March, 2 May and 25 June 2024 to design the training programme (D 2.1.1). They involved Bellastock, LIST, Rotor and Wiltz. AOs Ekopolis, CD2E and Brussels Environment also contributed to this activity. They were invited to express their needs and discuss their possible involvement in the PREUSE training programme. Bellastock and GPM met specifically with Ekopolis on 17 April 2024, and Rotor with Brussels Environment on 23 April 2024.\n\nActivity 2.2 - Online reference centre. \nThree online meetings were held on 23 April, 4 June and 28 June 2024, involving Bellastock, LIST and Rotor. They aimed at designing the online centre and its forum (D 2.2.1). PPs discussed the scope, content, format, and technical aspects. They also started collecting, sorting and indexing reference documents into a database that will feed the reference centre.\n\nActivity 2.3 - Update and roll-out of the ‘Reuse Toolkit’.\nRotor adapted the back-end of the online directory of salvage dealers Opalis.eu to facilitate the collaboration with Bellastock. Both maintained the directory up-to-date (D 2.3.1).\n\nMEC organised two workshops (20 Mar and 12 June 2024) and a market consultation (27 June 2024) for two live tests aiming at fostering a local ecosystem for the reuse of specific materials: wood (D 2.3.3) and roadworks materials (D 2.3.4).\n\nOn 13 May 2024, the LIST organised an online meeting with two AO, Administration des Bâtiments Publics (LU) and Citydev (BE), to share best practices to enable reuse in public tendering procedures (D 2.3.5).\n\nActivity 2.4 - Communication\nBellastock and Rotor drafted the project communication strategy (D 2.4.1).\n\nTogether, the PPs participated in 12 public events where they presented the project’s key messages (D 2.4.2).\n\nBellastock created and updated the project website (D 2.4.5). Bellastock created an account for the PREUSE project on social media (D 2.4.6). Most PPs also communicated about the project via their own communication channels.\nProject Partners (PPs) followed up the project implementation.\n\nOverall project management\nDuring period 2, all PPs took part in the Steering Committee meeting #2 (11 September 2024, online) and #3 (12-13 December 2024, in Mechelen). Associated organisations (AO) were invited for the second day of that meeting, including a public visit to the reuse centre ‘Materialenbank’ in Leuven (13 December 2024).\n\nAll PPs prepared their report (but two decided not to submit their List of Expenditures for the first reporting), and the Lead Partner (LP) compiled the project progress report 1 (PR1), which was approved in October 2024.\n\nWork Package 1 (WP1)\nThe activities within this WP are closely intertwined. The preparation of the Strategy for Reuse Centres (Act. 1.1) nurtures the writing of the Action Plans (Act 1.2) and the development of the Pilot Sites (Act. 1.3). Reversely, the Action Plans and Pilot Sites generate feedback for the Strategy. During period 2, three transversal meetings organised by Rotor took place with PPs on 11 July, 4 October and 5 December 2024. These meetings ensure the cross-fertilisation between the three activities. So far, it is mostly the work on the State of the Art (D 1.1.1) which steers the discussions.\n\nFor what concerns the Strategy for Reuse Centres (Act 1.1), two additional meetings took place on 9 October and 13 November 2024. The latter was a workshop open to external participants. They were mostly public authorities interested in the prospect of developing their own reuse centre.\n\nIn the context of the State of the Art of existing reuse centres, Rotor and Bellastock carried out 7 additional visits, bringing the total number of centres visited to 14 (as of Dec. 2024). \n\nThe joint-development of the Action Plans (Act 1.2) is led by MEC through a series of workshops. The first one took place on 11 October 2024, on ‘Visioning’. The second one happened on 12 December 2024, on ‘Writing actions table’. They bring together all concerned PPs and third parties (AO and others).\n\nIn addition to these transversal meetings, MEC, MGP, UTR and Wiltz have been working on their own action plan, through internal meetings, networking with local stakeholders and drafting first versions in the second project period.\n\nTo ensure the joint-development of the Pilot Sites (Act. 1.3), LFDQ, Lorient and UTR have been meeting every 6 weeks, together with Rotor and Bellastock, to share their progress.\n\nIn July 2024, LFDQ organised a call for tenders to identify possible operators for their centre. Although potential bidders expressed their interest in the project, they decided not to apply because the call was deemed too complex. Consequently, LFDQ reworked their call and launched it again in January 2025.\n\nLorient continued to work with their external adviser (Urbanova) and other PPs to define the operating model of their centre and set the works programme. The expected location is being validated by local authorities.\n\nIn August 2024, UTR finalised the buying of a site located at Sophialaan 7, Lage Weide, where the reuse centre will be developed. Some experimental transactions of materials from public works have already taken place at this site since then.\n\nIn terms of communication, PPs organised the first site visit to a reuse centre located in Leuven (BE) on 13 December 2024 (D 1.4.1).\n\nWP 2\nBellastock, Wiltz, List and Rotor finalised the design of the training programme framework and planning (D 2.1.1), defining 5 main training modules and 2 complementary ones. They held two additional meetings on this topic during period 2 (on 1 and 23 October 2024).\n\nRotor, Bellastock and List progressed in the definition of their needs for the online documentation centre in terms of user interface and content management system. Since July 2024, they have had 4 additional meetings, on 14 August (in Brussels), 3 October, 6 November and 27 November 2024 (online). Rotor and BS continued working on the collection of references, bringing to total to +500 entries.\n\nRotor and Bellastock kept maintaining Opalis.eu, with 15 new additions since the project started (D 2.3.1). One strategic workshop on the ‘Reuse Toolkit’ happened on 7 November in Brussels, with the AA School (Architecture School) as a multiplier (D 2.3.2). MEC, with Rotor’s input, progressed on their three live tests (D 2.3.3, 2.3.4 and 2.3.5). Both are linked to the redesign of public places in the Bethaniënpolder district (Mechelen, BE), around which different actors are gathered to enable and increase materials reuse.\n\nDuring period 2, PPs took part in 10 public events to disseminate the project’s key messages (D 2.4.2). Three more articles featuring the project have been published during period 2, bringing the total to four in Dec 2024 (D 2.4.3). The project webpage and PPs’ social media have been regularly updated (D 2.4.5 and D 2.4.6). The LinkedIn and Instagram accounts dedicated to PREUSE cumulate 338 followers.\nOverall project management\nAll PPs took part in Steering Committee Meeting #4 (1 April 2025, online). Steering Committee #5 took place during the Partners' Meeting on 19–20 June 2025 in Roubaix. It was hosted by PP5, LFDQ. Associated organisations (AOs) were also invited to attend a workshop on the first day and a presentation and site visits on the second day.\n\nAll PPs prepared Report 3, but PP7 (MGP) and PP8 (Lorient) decided not to submit their List of Expenditure for this period. The lead partner (LP) compiled Project Progress Report 2, which was approved in April 2025.\n\nWork Package 1 (WP1)\n☛ Act. 1.1 – Strategy\nLP1 Rotor and PP3 BS continued their visits to reuse centres in Belgium, the Netherlands and France. They summarised their findings for the state-of-the-art analysis of existing operating models for reuse centres — aka the Atlas of Reuse Centres (D 1.1.1) — which they finalised by the end of the period. This includes a set of detailed definitions of the operating models and the public authorities’s possible forms of involvement. These elements have already been put to good use in developing both the action plans (Act 1.2) and the pilot actions (Act 1.3).\n\nOn 27 March 2025, LP1 Rotor organised an online workshop on Strategy D 1.1.4, during which they presented the state of the art to members of the CircoFin programme, following a suggestion from the ICLEI Associated Organisation.\n\n☛ Act 1.2 – Action Plans\nTwo workshops took place in Period 3 under the lead of PP4 MEC to continue working on the Action Plans. The first, on the actions table, took place on 17 February 2025, and the second, on scenario planning, took place right after the Steering Committee in Roubaix on 19 June 2025. Concerned PPs progressed in the drafting and early implementation of their local action plan. \n\n☛ Act. 1.3 – Pilot Actions\nThese meetings aimed to share the progress of the three pilot projects and facilitate exchange between PPs. The first deliverable for this activity (D 1.3.1) was produced at the end of Period 3. Each PP advanced regarding their own pilot by conducting preliminary studies and obtaining permits (D 1.3.2, 1.3.3 and 1.3.4). In March 2025, PP9 UTR inaugurated a beta version of their reuse centre.\n\n☛ Act. 1.4 – Communication\nA second public site visit (D 1.4.1) took place during the Partners Meeting in Roubaix on 20 June 2025. It focused on the ECI platform and the future reuse centre, which is being developed by PP5 LFDQ. Several AOs, a JS representative and a national contact point attended the visit.\n\nOn 21 March 2025, LP1 Rotor held an online meeting and invited all PPs to contribute ideas for the programme of the international symposium on reuse centres (D 1.4.2). Together with PP4 MEC, Rotor set the date and location of this event. It will take place on 4 and 5 June 2026 in Mechelen (Lamot Centre) and Brussels.\n\nWP 2\n☛ Act. 2.1 – Training scheme\nFive meetings were held to discuss the development of the training scheme, on 24 February, 19 March, 22 April, 23 April and 2 June 2025. The PPs produced the pedagogical content for the different modules and contacted training centres.\n\n☛ Act. 2.2 – Online reference centre\nRegular meetings were held during this period involving LP1 Rotor, PP2 List (inc. their IT team) and PP3 BS to discuss progress and work on developing the online library. The PPs continued designing the online centre and its FAQs (D 2.2.1 and D 2.2.2). The LIST developed a beta version of the tool. Over 600 references have already been uploaded to the online database. These now need to be verified and cleaned.\n\nPP2, PP6, PP8, PP4 and LP1 took part in two meetings dedicated to Deliverable 2.2.3, a leaflet on the architecture of reuse centres. These meetings were led by PP3 BS and took place online on 25 March and 16 May 2025.\n\n☛ Act. 2.3 – Update and roll-out of the ‘Reuse Toolkit’\nLP1 Rotor and PP3 BS kept maintaining Opalis.eu, updating 125 profiles during Period 3  (D 2.3.1).\nPP4 MEC, with Rotor’s input, progressed on their three live tests notably for the integration of reuse objectives in a series of ongoing public tenders (D 2.3.3, 2.3.4 and 2.3.5). MEC finalised the reports on D 2.3.3 and D 2.34.\n\n☛ Act. 2.4 – Communication\nDuring period 3, PPs took part in 11 public events to disseminate the project’s key messages (D 2.4.2). Two more articles featuring the project have been published, bringing the total to six as of June 2025 (D 2.4.3). The project webpage and PPs’ social media have been regularly updated (D 2.4.5 and D 2.4.6).

In short periods, extreme weather events provide water surplus, whereas increasingly longer dry periods face water shortages. Existing systems of storage are not sufficient. \n\nRoads and highways are crossing the NWE territory abundantly. They usually drain the runoff water from rainfall events swiftly to canals/rivers, whereas local stakeholders would urgently need this surplus water. Rural_Roadwater_Rescue will demonstrate an actionable strategy how to save, treat (clean) and locally distribute water through transformation of existing roads/highways. The strategy will comprise an integrated, multi-stakeholders and cross-sectoral methodology. It will be inspired by two use cases (BE:Heverlee, NL:Oirschot/Kloosters) to be comprehensible. \n\nThe project demonstrates how roads/highways can transform from mono to multifunctional: How they can be technically turned into temporary water reservoirs for runoff water (next to/under the road), while being compliant with the legal regulations for infrastructure and water quality in the respective regions. In a next step, it will be demonstrated how distribution of water will be arranged in cooperation with local stakeholders (farmers, households, public services/facilities, industry etc.), integrated in the local spatial planning procedures, depending on the different local need profiles of the target groups in the various territories that they cross. \n\nThe \"Rural_Roadwater_Rescue-strategy\" will develop: a guidance covering regulatory frameworks, practicable solutions, community involvement, action plan for implementation. \n\nThe project will build a long-term, transnational, cross-sectoral, multidisciplinary cooperative network.

Beforehand 7 steps have been recognized to locally deliver relatively clean water derived from polluted roadwater runoff. These steps are: (1) prevention, (2) collection, (3) cleaning/treatment, (4) storage, (5) distribution, (6) use, (7) ecosystem balance.\n\nPartners questioned their road authorities on practices and experiences in the 7 steps. The survey showed that the approach to roadwater differs per road authority per country, whereas the attention to re-use of road water appears to be little up to now. Collecting and distributing this knowledge enriched the partners contently, made them more aware of the potential economic and environmental value of roadwater runoff and extended their network.\n\nThe combined knowledge and experiences lead to the partners conclusion that local reuse of roadwater is possible. This is worked out in a strategy document published on the project website. But they also acknowledge that on several steps – especially on distribution, use and ecosystem balance - knowledge and experience is little. Research and experiments on these steps in a follow-up can strengthen the approach.  \n\nTechnical know-how and experiences are however not sufficient to successfully deliver good quality roadwater to local communities. The approach also has to meet legal conditions, must be economically viable and there must be a fruitful and constant cooperation between (road)authorities and local end-users. RRR also addressed these conditions. \n\nRRR collected and analysed relevant European and member state (RRR partner) legal framework for roadwater. Most of all these frameworks consist of environmental regulation and regulation on spatial planning. It seems that different member states interpret or translate European Guidelines and Directives differently in national law. As an effect this leads to different choices in handling road water in the different member states. It also appears that different juridical instruments point in different directions concerning roadwater. That makes it difficult to take action. Up to now a European Guideline or Directive on Roadwater is absent, but would be helpful to overcome barriers in distributing and reusing roadwater.\n\nThe partners believe in the technical possibility of cleaning roadwater up to the level of drinking water. However, that ultimate step in purifying is in most cases very costly and therefore economically not viable. But is also not necessary: most uses for water (e.g. for flushing toilets or watering grass fields) don’t demand drinking water. An overview shows the different pollutants in roadwater, to which quality treatment is viable and to which use the end product can be applied.\n\nThe local citizens cooperative Kloosterland -RRR partner– explored the conditions under which cooperation between authorities and end-users can be fruitful. Such a condition is the presence of so-called ‘boundary spanners’ (people that can bridge different societal worlds) in the local community and preferably also with the authorities. This knowledge gives the opportunity to explore in an early stage whether or not cooperation is possible or can be stimulated.\n\nThe progress of RRR draw much professional attention, especially of road authorities and technical institutes. New potential partners are anxious to participate in a possible follow-up. This follow-up would not only be directed to strengthen the knowledge base but also to execute field experiments in different partner countries. The RRR project also drew attention of the technical press, resulting in several articles and podcasts.\n","Leuven, BRON cedex, Karlsruhe, Oostelbeers, Aalst, Hertogenbosch","BE, FR, DE, NL",{"$nulls":5},7]

Current synthetic colourants in polymer/plastic products are based on fossil resources, non-biodegradable, and potentially toxic when they are released into the environment during recycling or composting processes and at present, there are no such eco-friendly colourants in plastic products throughout the NWE region. However, there is also a clear demand by industry for bio-based and biodegradable colourants. Through the development of an application-specific colour-masterbatch designed in line with industry specific formulations, full end of life and life cycle assessment (LCA), we will deliver the prototype technical development and commercial proof needed to enable EU businesses to invest in natural eco-friendly colourants. \nOur project partners have collaborated before in the area of bio-based colourants and represent experts in the field.

This project addressed the industry and customer demand for biodegradable colors. Three feasibility trials were conducted to produce color master batches with strong performance in polyethylene (PE), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), and polylactic acid (PLA). Further pilot actions were conducted to mold a product prototype of a food/meat tray from PET and PLA at two different facilities. The colored PLA sample was decolorized to enable its recycling. The developed colors were tested using various degradation methods, and the results indicated that the degradation products from the colors are non-toxic, with one of the degraded products able to serve as a carbon source for microbes after composting. \nThe socioeconomic survey conducted during the project garnered an impressive response of 110 participants from Germany, Ireland, the Netherlands, as well as France, Belgium, and India. The findings indicated a substantial willingness among participants to utilize eco-friendly bio-based products, even if it meant compromising on color or faster fading compared to conventional options. Furthermore, this suggests that the developed solution for the project is vital for the circular economy and has the potential for future growth and advancements in commercial applications. \nThese results were achieved by implementing two pilot runs that serve as a replicable solution for eco-friendly colourants. This pilot can be applied to other locations within the partner territories and potentially expanded to other regions or countries. These were achieved by developing joint solutions within the consortium through collaboration, fostering great transnational cooperation with an impact on all countries involved. TUS as the lead partner, oversaw the coordination across the consortium. TUS worked closely with its industry partner, DeltaQ, to determine the industrial parameters for incorporating colorants into polymers in the first phase of the project. DeltaQ offered valuable expertise on developing the colors and incorporating them into color masterbatches within the polymers. TUS then blended the curcumin-derived red colorants into several polymers, including the\nindustry-specific polymer PE. Based on the results and discussions with DeltaQ two feasibility trials were conducted at DeltaQ and TUS, Meanwhile Avans synthesised, upscaled the color production for pilot actions to be conducted at TUS and Centexbel and investigated the extraction. And UM investigated the environmental fate of the colors and conduced public online survey. Hence all partners equally developed the solution.\nSince it aligns with the EU Sustainability Development Goals (SDGs), the project's outcomes will endure in the long term with a greater impact, as every sector, group, and region strives for circularity and sustainability.\nWhile bio-based colorants are gaining traction for their sustainability and reduced environmental impact, they face significant hurdles. For instance, the survey revealed that most participants can compromise the durability of color fade if the colorants are bio-based, yet they were not willing to pay a higher price for the product. Therefore, a key future challenge is streamlining the large-scale production of bio-based colors and incorporating them into PET and PE products at a competitive cost, as cost parity is critical for mass-market adoption. These colors, which have different compositions, also need to meet regulatory standards for market approval. Another challenge is meeting the industry's demand for a broad and precise spectrum of colors for various applications. The scope of the project has strong potential for advancements to address challenges, such as color compatibility for certain groups of polymers, enabling us to target those products as well. Additionally, there are many more avenues for these colors to explore, including inks and dyes for textiles.\n","Athlone, Münster, Breda","IE, DE, NL",{"$nulls":5},4]
["NWE0300403","Heartsafe NWE","Building on proven experience: Making North-West Europe Heartsafe","Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) is the 3rd leading cause of death in Europe, with an Out of Hospital Cardiac Arrest (OHCA) annual incidence of up to 170 per 100,000 inhabitants. Survival rates greatly vary, from 45% in the Netherlands to 31% in Germany, 26% in Belgium, and 25% in Ireland respectively. The European Resuscitation Council (ERC) therefore recommends implementing first responder networks to improve the cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) rate, reduce the time to first CPR and shock delivery, eventually improving survival rates with good neurological recovery. To date, the Netherlands is still the first and only country in North-West Europe where CPR can be started anywhere within the crucial 6 minutes after an OHCA incident.\n\nThe project’s objective therefore is to ensure equal OHCA survival chances across the involved NWE regions. We will do so by building and piloting a community-based OHCA first responder system in Galway, Leuven and Health Region Cologne-Bonn, and by delivering three tailor-made results-based scale-up strategies to make the local solutions sustainable. Key to success is an eco-system approach, combining a network of strategically placed 24/7 available AEDs, a network of CPR trained local citizen responders, and a cloud-based alerting system to dispatch the first responders with the AEDs to the OHCA incidents. Effectively transfering the Dutch heartsafe best practice transnationally, we expect to increase OHCA survival rates by 10% in the pilot regions.\n\nGrounded in local community engagement, this project will for the first time in North-West Europe run multiple pilots simultaneously, based on proven best practice and building on common KPIs and success factors as established by the ERC. It will equip local authorities with increased institutional capability to provide life saving infrastructure for their citizens, and above all grant local citizens access to immediate CPR and AEDs when needed, ensuring equal and timely access to emergency help.","2024-01-01","2025-06-30","(VI-B_NWE_5) Transition towards a socially inclusive and resilient society","RSO4.5.

In Europe alone, over 275,000 people suffer an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) annually. But survival shouldn't be a matter of luck or geography. And yet, depending on where you live, your chances of survival can differ greatly – from nearly 45% in the Netherlands to as low as 25% in Ireland. The Heartsafe NWE project set out to change this. \n\nOur story begins with one shared challenge: too many lives lost unnecessarily due to delayed CPR and defibrillation. The problem wasn’t the lack of knowledge or technology—it was about awareness and connecting the dots. In many regions, there were automated external defibrillators (AEDs) hidden behind closed doors, trained citizens unaware of incidents happening nearby, and unable to come into action due to emergency systems not available or not yet linked to community responders. \n\nTo address this, the project set out to replicate and adapt the Dutch model—a proven system where trained citizen responders are alerted within seconds of a cardiac arrest, often arriving before the ambulance, and delivering the first crucial minutes of CPR and defibrillation. But adapting this model to different countries, languages, legal systems, and healthcare structures was no easy task. \n\nIn Galway (Ireland), Neuwied (Germany), and Leuven (Belgium), we piloted an integrated “Heartsafe” system:  a local team of trained citizen responders, a growing network of strategically placed AEDs, and a digital alerting platform that connects them in real time to emergency dispatch systems. \n\nEach region started from a different point—but with shared ambition. Together with the Dutch Heart Foundation and STAN, all three pilot regions developed a localised, operational community first responder system. Along the way, they shared tools, data, and lessons learned—adapting Dutch expertise to their own needs and realities. \n\nIn Galway, the foundation for success was laid through the HeartbeatNow project, which mobilised community support and recruited hundred citizen responders. An AED registry was initiated, and cooperation with the National Ambulance Service was initiated to prepare for long-term integration. A full-scale simulation was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the system in real-life conditions. \n\nIn Neuwied, the community-based system ProHerzschlag is now fully implemented. Specialised responder trainings—both online and in-person—were developed through collaboration between the municipality and the German Red Cross. AED owners and community responders are actively registering via the platform, ensuring the development of a well-prepared and responsive network. \n\nIn Leuven, the project gained visibility by linking with the 600 Years KU Leuven celebrations, tapping into a powerful local identity. The Burgerhulpverleners project attracted much public attention and led to hundreds of new volunteer sign-ups. A strong advocacy push is now underway to integrate the national AED inventory and connect the system to the EMS dispatch, marking a significant step toward national scalability. In parallel, targeted research was conducted to identify cultural barriers and motivators for participation, and to define the most effective communication strategies for engaging diverse communities. \n\nTransnational cooperation was the engine of transformation. The Dutch model served as a powerful starting point: a real-world example of how an integrated community first responder (CFR) system can dramatically improve survival after cardiac arrest. But rather than simply copying this model, the project fostered mutual learning and co-creation, where each region adapted and built upon the Dutch experience in its own context. \n\nThrough regular exchanges, local workshops, joint problem-solving, and shared testing protocols, the partners collectively developed a stronger, more adaptable CFR model—one that reflects the diversity of legal systems, healthcare structures, and community cultures across NWE. \n\nThe impact goes far beyond the number of responders trained or AEDs installed. The true significance lies in the growth of institutional knowledge, the increased awareness among citizens and professionals, and the deepened engagement of local stakeholders. Municipalities, emergency services, NGOs, and citizens now start to share a common understanding of what it takes to create a social infrastructure that responds effectively to cardiac arrest. \n\nBut there are still challenges ahead. Legal frameworks, sustainable funding, and long-term responder engagement all require continued effort. Yet the project has shown what’s possible when regions work together, share knowledge, and act decisively. \n\nHSNWE began with a simple belief: everyone deserves a chance to survive a cardiac arrest—no matter where they live. Thanks to this cooperation across borders, that belief is now turning into reality. ","Galway, LEUVEN, Elburg, Cologne, Den Haag","IE, BE, NL, DE",{"$nulls":5},5]
["NWE0300399","BiDebA","BioBased Debondable Adhesives","Composite materials offer great opportunities to contribute to the European Green Deal by enabling substantial reductions in fuel consumption and carbon emissions in the transportation sector due to their lightweight and high strength properties. They produce, however, a significant amount of waste (est. 683 kton in EU in 2025) with limited recycling capacity (15%). To align with the circular economy's waste hierarchy principles, extending the lifespan of composites through repair and reuse is crucial. The major challenge lies in the inextricable bonding of composite materials through adhesives. Conventional adhesives exhibit a two-fold challenge 1) they are primarily produced from fossil fuels and are therefore non-renewable, and 2) once applied, they hinder detachment and hence further repair, reuse, and recycling. Addressing this challenge is particularly desirable in the North-West Europe region, which has the largest composite and adhesive market share in Europe.\nIn this project, we aim to develop one solution for circular composite repair by engineering bio-based adhesives, derived from renewable resources, to facilitate effortless detachment of the parts on command. Our novel approach draws inspiration from historical materials and integrates recent developed bio-based adhesive formulations into existing pilot-scale debonding and composite repair setups from the project partners. Finally, this will result in one pilot scale demonstrator.\nThrough transnational pilot-scale demonstrations on a representative use case, we will showcase the applicability of our approach for non-structural composite parts. We focus on the transportation sector, the largest consumer of composites, and more specifically companies involved in composite repair. Via these demonstrations in the region that represents the largest market share, we aim to convince companies to adopt these technologies in their products and processes, and hence to advance the repair of composite materials.","2024-01-01","2025-06-30","(VI-B_NWE_4) Improving territorial resilience in NWE through innovative and smart transformation","RSO1.1.

The Quick Composite Repair (QCR) on non-structural composite parts in the transportation sector was chosen as final demonstrator. QCR means performing a temporary repair on a damaged composite area of an airplane. This temporary repair is a non-structural repair where a temporary patch is applied to avoid water or dust ingestion in the damaged part. After a while, this temporary patch is removed, and the final repair is done. The requirements and constraints of this demonstrator were set up and used by all partners.\n\nThanks to the cooperation of the partners, big progress was made in the different activities:\n\n- Activity 1.1: Finetune the bio-based adhesive formulation to the demonstrator requirements \n\nDuring bi-weekly technical meetings with all partners the necessary experiments were defined and discussed . GMI Aero provided guidance according to industry standards on the requirements and constraints for a bio-based adhesive. AVANS focussed on the application of commercially available resins in the form of copal-resins together with their associated partner Impershield. They explored the implementation of these copal-resins through rheological and tensile measurements. A first selection of a commercial available bio-based adhesive with the most promising properties as a debondable adhesive for the circular repair of composite (QCR) structures was made. This adhesive (Euroflex) was subjected to preliminary debonding tests with Thermally Expandable Particles (TEP's) together with Flanders Make. The results and conclusions are detailed by AVANS in Deliverable 1.1.1. ‘Evaluation Commercial Resins'.\n \n- Activity 1.2: Finetune the debonding technology to the demonstrator requirements\n\nThe most suitable debonding technology for application in the QCR case with use of bio-based adhesives was selected based on results obtained in activity 1.1. and additional experiments performed by Flanders Make. Guidance according to industry standards for the selection of the debonding process was provided by GMI. A first exploration of the process parameters of the debonding process for the Euroflex resin (chosen in activity 1.1) was carried out. Based on these results, the debonding technique of local stresses through thermally expandable particles (TEP’s) seems to be the most promising technique. Additionally, the adhesive seems to be more brittle after debonding which could enable removing the adhesive after debonding and reducing the cleaning effort.  The results and conclusions until now are detailed by Flanders Make in Deliverable 1.2.1 'Selection most appropriate debonding technology'. \n\n- Activity 1.3: Upscaling of adhesive production, application and debonding pilot scale\n\nA first questionnaire to check the interest in the topics of the BiDebA project was discussed together with all partners and the associated partner AGORIA. The results were shared with all partners .The Quick Composite Repair (QCR) demo was chosen as final demonstrator and specified in more detail. GMI Aero set up the requirements and constraints of this demonstrator and discussed these with all partners. This work was compiled by GMI in deliverable D 1.3.1. 'Report on technical specifications for composite repair in the transportation sector'.\n\n- Activity 1.4: Communication of the results to industry & general public\n\nAll partners fulfilled the communication rules of INTERREG NWE (BiDebA poster, presentation of the project on the website, setting up the BiDebA website ...). GMI and Flanders Make were already present at the JEC World expo in Paris. Flanders Make at the Joining in car body engineering conference in Bad Nauheim and the EAS refresher course. By these actions we want to create awareness of the project and disseminate the first results. The communication plan was discussed with all partners and  finalized with the feedback of Rania Balia by Flanders Make (see communication evidence and D 1.4.1 Communication report). \n\nIn the second period of the BiDebA project all partners elaborated further on the Quick Composite Repair (QCR) demonstrator. These QCRs are used on non-structural composite repairs in the transportation sector. We did different experiments to define the right materials and adhesives for this demonstrator. GMI AERO provided guidance according to industry standards on the requirements for the fine-tuning of the bio-based adhesive as well as the debonding technology that will be implemented on the final demonstrator.\n\n-\tActivity 1.1: Finetune the bio-based adhesive formulation to the demonstrator requirements\no\tA low molecular weight Polylactic Acid (LM-PLA) was synthesized through various methods by AVANS. The LM-PLA was tested for debonding temperature and tensile strength. The tensile strength of the LM-PLA is higher than the one of the Euroflex resins (tested in period 1) but the debonding temperature was not significantly lower than the one of commercially available PLA, with more favourable properties. This leads to the recommendation for further use of the commercial available PLA in the project. (see D1.1.2)\no\tAVANS also explored 2 types of bio-based polystyrene as a debondable adhesive.  These samples were tested for debonding temperature and tensile strength, but they exhibited very low adhesive strength compared to PLA. (see D1.1.3)\no\tTUDelft did experiments with different types of archeo-inspired adhesives (pine resin (rosin) with beeswax, birch tar and hide glue). These adhesives are manufactured from natural and renewable resource or from recycled products which comply with the scope of the project of using bio-based materials and fostering a circular economy.  Regarding carbon fibre reinforced composites  substrates, birch tar displayed the highest average shear strength. (see D1.1.4 chapter 2)\no\tFurther lap shear tests were done by AVANS on Euroflex resin under various conditions, including different preparation methods, ambient temperatures, and UV exposure. The results indicated significant variations in lap shear strength depending on the preparation method and environmental conditions. (see D1.1.4. chapter 3)\n\n-\tActivity 1.2: Finetune the debonding technology to the demonstrator requirements\no\tFlanders Make did further experiments to discover the debonding potential of different adhesives and different debonding methods for the QCR demo. The debonding parameters considered were the type of debonding additives, the concentration of the additives, the debonding temperature and the heating method.  The most optimal adhesive seems to be PLA. Because PLA behaves as a hotmelt, conventional heating for bonding and debonding of the repair patch is the most logic. The use of additives gives no benefit from debonding perspective.  (see D 1.2.3).\no\tThe idea of the QCR is to cover small damages to the airplane skin so the airplane don’t have to be taken out of service. Ageing tests on the selected bio-based adhesive PLA were performed on the specific conditions of an airplane (take-off, flight, landing, time on the ground). Flanders Make and AVANS did experiments with Temperature cycling, UV exposure and moisture. No negative effects were observed. (see D1.2.4)\n\n-\tActivity 1.3: Upscaling of adhesive production, application and debonding to pilot scale\no\tAVANS produced a tape from PLA to make it easier to be used in the QCR application.\no\tGMI prepared lap shear specimens using this PLA tape and also using Euroflex resins, following the aeronautical industry standard of curing under vacuum pressure with heat blankets and the ANITA bonding console (hot bonding method). \no\tThe results of these tests provided insights into the scalability and practical application of PLA as an adhesive in the transportation sector.\no\tThe work of all partners resulted in the compilation of  D1.3.4.\n\n-\tActivity 1.4: Communication of the results to industry & general public\no\tFlanders Make finished the final Communication Plan and set up a file to track the different communication activities of all partners. \no\tAVANS started preparing a focused workshop on bio-based adhesive formulation, planned for March 2025, to communicate our findings and results to industry stakeholders. \no\tEvents:\nAVANS participated in the Lijm (Adhesive) Event on November 27th in the Netherlands with a table top.

Building new housing is often in conflict with many cities' circular strategies, including the preservation of existing open space, and the reduction of building resources. In parallel, the need for renovation of the housing stock to meet climate targets is both a challenge and an opportunity. With the Upcycling Trust project, we want to explore how the combination of (1) a thorough, circular renovation approach and (2) the decomodification of housing (taking housing off the market so that it cannot be sold at a profit) can lead to more sustainable and affordable cities in a structural way. Moreover, by putting local communities at the heart of the system, we aim to contribute to the resilience of cities.\nThe Community Land Trust (CLT) model offers an innovative, hybrid form of ownership suitable for such an approach. Although more and more CLTs are emerging in the region, they have so far mainly focused on new construction. CLTs in Cork, Ghent, Lille, Rennes and Brussels want to test this new upcycling strategy and use a circular approach to the renovation. These CLTs will set up pilots where legal, organisational, technical and financial strategies will be developed, and the first homes will be upcycled. This will benefit some 150 low income families who will be able to live in these homes, while saving, expressed in monetary terms according to the Belgian MMG and TOTEM method, 745.000€ of environmental impact. Based on the experiences of the pilots, and by involving local and regional authorities as well as academic partners, we will use our findings to develop new urban policy.

The members of the consortium met on multiple occasions, both physically and virtually, to discuss, among other subjects, the reporting requirements, the governance of the partenariat, the creation of a sharing tool, the production of deliverables, the timeline of project implementation and the challenges of their respective pilots (e.g., specificities, identifying and securing a property, approaching homeowners, etc.).\n\nThe 6 deliverables expected in the first 2 semesters of the project have been successfully produced. In addition to the 2 delivered in the first semester, the partners have collaborated in creating: an Overview of Best Practices in Community-led Renovations along with the registry of its related development sessions; a Catalogue of Best Practices and Methodologies of Capacity Building and Community Building and; the Baselines for Measurement Tools in Monitoring and Assessment of the Social Impact of the project. Both deliverable leaders, Habiter 2030 and the VUB, sought to involve other partners in the production of those documents, presenting their ideas while collecting inputs and feedback. This allowed for the output of reference documents that will be used in the framework our project.\n\nProgress continues to be made in identifying, securing and planning for the implementation of the 5 demonstrator homes. Beyond the challenges imposed by their respective local contexts, the conditions of the buildings targeted for renovation within the Upcycling Trust model varies considerably, and so does the level of intervention necessary to improving those properties to a decent state. While in Lille the renovations will involve the removal of asbestos roofs, the house considered for the Cork pilot has no roof, and one of prospects for the Ghent pilot has been partially burned. In parallel, the partners continue to evaluate the different approaches that could be adopted as to render their respective renovation projects financially viable, sustainable in the long term and, whenever possible, favour an increased number of beneficiaries. From breaking up the property into different dwellings (Ghent) to organising grouped renovations (Brussels), and using the funds derived from the sale of renovated homes to finance further renovations (Lille).\n\nIn line with the project’s strategy to present the Upcycling Trust model as a sensible solution for tackling the current (European) housing crisis, our project partners, in particular the CLTB, SOA and the CCC, have started promoting the project and/or the CLT model in different occasions to the key target groups. In addition, as to contribute to maintaining a message about the project and its objectives that’s both efficient and consistent among partners, the CLTB has spearheaded the production of a document that specifies the terminology to be employed, along with the speaking points (e.g. relevant statistical data, key points regarding the model, etc.) that should be integrated to presentations to external audiences.\n","Brussels, Cork, Lille, Brussel, Dublin, Rennes, Villeneuve d'Ascq, TOURCOING, Ghent, Bruxelles","BE, IE, FR",{"$nulls":5},11]

["NWE0300435","AlgaeVALOR","Valorisation of Seaweed for Non-Food Applications","The common challenge in the 'green-blue sector' is the creation of value for every aspect of seaweed. Whilst seaweed already has a sustainable outlook, and the NWE region is regarded as quite resource efficient, still more effort and innovation should be put into creating a circular economy. In the case of seaweed, most processors only focus on one aspect of seaweed while the leftovers are discarded and incinerated, releasing CO2 in the proces. The overall objective of this project is to fully valorise seaweed in the NWE region. By using both brown and green seaweed which are very common in the NWE region, this project aims at creating a new innovative business case and a circular approach to seaweed. \n\nThe main output of the project will be processing solutions for seaweed with the integrated processes of Zeefier and BlueBlocks. Each project partner will be able to benefit from the valorisation of seaweed. For Green Turtle value will be created for otherwise discarded components of seaweed. Zeefier and BlueBlocks will receive a stable input stream for their respective process. UGent will be able to research factors controlling growth and biochemical composition of seaweed, while at the same creating value for their discards. Spaak will be able to create an innovative business case and advise other stakeholders on said business case. As for interest group North Sea Farmers, they will benefit by coordinating the project and informing stakeholders, ultimately upscaling the seaweed sector. \n\nThe complementary and transnational approach of this project aims at combining the knowledge of every partner in the participating countries in the best way possible. This will make sure the results of the project are representable for the entire seaweed sector in the NWE area. Since at the moment seaweed is regarded as sustainable, even while processors are only interested in single components, this new outlook on valorising every aspect of seaweed can really elevate the sector to the next level.","2024-01-01","2025-06-30","(VI-B_NWE_3) Transition towards a place-based circular economy","RSO2.6.

Throughout the project, a diverse consortium of partners from Belgium, France, and the Netherlands worked together to turn this idea into practical reality, each contributing a crucial piece to the puzzle.\n\nAt Ghent University (UGent), researchers optimised the indoor cultivation of Ulva species. By carefully tuning light, salinity, and nutrient levels, they were able to produce stable, protein-rich biomass. Beyond the lab, UGent provided partners with this material for real-world testing—turning scientific insights into tangible industrial inputs.\n\nZeefier tested whether residual biomass from seaweed processing—often seen as waste—could be turned into natural textile dyes. Through over 15 trials, they confirmed this was technically possible, but discovered that dye quality depended heavily on factors like pH, temperature, and above all, logistics. The lack of standardised documentation and storage protocols revealed the need for clearer standards in the seaweed sector. Despite this, Zeefier succeeded in producing pigments from brown seaweed side streams and built the foundation for a new product line focused on circular dye production.\n\nMeanwhile, BlueBlocks worked on converting those same residual streams into biocomposite materials under the SeaWood brand. Though similar in challenges—variability in feedstock, logistical complexity—the team created a series of promising test panels and advanced discussions with commercial partners.\n\nSpaak supported the project by developing a custom metrics dashboard. This tool helped the partners track mass flows, CO₂ impacts, storage constraints, and financial feasibility. It became the core decision-support instrument, helping shape a long-term roadmap and location strategy for a co-located circular processing hub.\n\nNorth Sea Farmers (NSF), as coordinating partner, kept the project on course. They managed planning, communication with Interreg, and organised stakeholder engagement. Their dissemination efforts, including the North Sea Seaweed event and upcoming webinars, significantly increased the project’s visibility in the seaweed sector and policy circles. NSF also prepared three key final deliverables: an impact showcase, a capacity-building roadmap, and a sector-specific dissemination session.\n\nThe project’s impact was broad and multi-layered: new scientific protocols for Ulva cultivation; verified industrial use cases for residual biomass; enhanced cross-border knowledge-sharing; and, critically, a strong foundation of trust and collaboration between SMEs and research institutes. The lessons learned shaped a shared scaling plan and aligned vision for the future.\n\nWhile challenges remain—particularly around standardisation, documentation, and consistent feedstock quality—AlgaeVALOR proved that seaweed residues can be a powerful resource. Through joint innovation, the project turned fragmentation into synergy, and waste into value. Its results will endure in the form of ongoing partnerships, scale-up plans, and a new chapter in the European seaweed economy.\n","Amsterdam, Carrigart, Co.

Such extreme events, such as in July 2021 in DE, BE, NL, LU, FR, IE and CH, are linked with fatalities, huge losses and damages. A flash flood is a rapid rise of water in low-lying areas that occurs within only 3-6 hours of a heavy rainfall. Risk-affected areas in NWE are urban, polder and steep valley areas. Because existing land-use constraints restrict the use of conventional flood protection measures, new approaches to manage pluvial and fluvial flash floods-related risks are needed.\n\nThe objective is to make NWE more resilient to extreme flash flood events. By project end, organisations responsible for flood management and residents in 7 risk-affected areas (DE/Emscher-Lippe area, NL/Limburg & North-Holland, BE/Wallonia & Flanders, Ireland, FR/Moselle), who are currently not fully aware or prepared, will be empowered to assess their vulnerability, to strengthen their resilience and to collectively and individually reduce the hazards and better act in case of extreme flash floods.\n\nThey will benefit from the main outputs:\n- 1 joint strategy for NWE and actions plans for an effective management of flash flood-related risks;\n- 6 jointly piloted solutions; to model flash floods and predict them in real-time; to protect people, infrastructures and economic activities; to warn, prepare and rescue populations;\n- 500 participants (members of crisis units, residents, students) in joint training schemes to anticipate and behave properly by emergency.\n\nPartners take the approach that extreme flash floods in NWE areas are inevitable, thus all concerned parties in affected territories need to prepare for it.

["NWE0400629","STEER-NWE","STEER-NWE: Integrated transport solutions to steer NWE's just energy transition","In the pursuit of a just energy transition, metropolitan authorities across NWE face a formidable shared challenge: the dominance of fossil-fuelled private car use has led the transport sector to become the largest energy consumer and major contributor to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Low Emission Zones (LEZs) are helping to curb pollution, yet they often come with unintended consequences and conflicting interests between energy, housing & transport stakeholders. Against this background, electric carsharing emerges as an energy-efficient solution to address them, while aligning with the goals of the revised TEN-T regulations at the EU level.\n \nSTEER-NWE tackles these challenges through transnational cooperation, bridging the gaps in expertise across different sectors and departments to deliver systemic, cross-tested solutions. The project brings together 11 complementary cross-sectoral partners from 6 NWE countries (NL, FR, BE, IE, DE, LU), to reduce energy consumption and GHG emissions (1,000+ tones of CO2 from project pilots in 6 of the largest urban areas in NWE).\n \nUsing digital tools and community-based co-creation, STEER-NWE will empower public authorities to develop integrated, energy-efficient, and inclusive e-carsharing approaches. Following a dual peer-to-peer approach, 6 cities will pilot 3 novel complementary approaches to e-carsharing, combining digital tools with the optimisation of public spaces, housing, energy grids & governance models. A decision-support toolkit will build upon pilot results to demonstrate project potential to steer NWE’s just energy transition, maximising the use of renewable energy for transport.\n \nThe project will also enable upscaling through a transnational leader-follower approach, supported by a comprehensive cross-sectoral Strategy and tailored Local Action Plans.

["NWE0400625","GEMS","Green Energy Management Systems for business parks","CHALLENGE\nNWE is committed to a clean energy transition, but rapid renewable growth and electrification are straining grid capacity, leading to high costs due to congestion and curtailment. In 2023, re-dispatch measures in Germany alone cost €\n\n3.2 billion, with 19 TWh curtailed. The challenge is no longer generating renewable energy (RE) but using it efficiently. The rise of Energy Management Systems (EMS) offer a smart grid solution that optimizes local electrification and renewables integration, something that business parks (BPs), which consume over 30% of energy in the region, have issues with. Specifically, the lack of organisational structure pose a risk to NWE's energy transition.\n\nOBJECTIVE\nGEMS aims to create EMS solutions in BPs, where small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) co-invest to enhance energy efficiency and RE consumption, reducing grid congestion.\n\nAPPROACH\nGEMS targets NWE mid-sized BPs (1-20 MW), enabling the uptake of tested GEMS configurations. 4 knowledge partners (KPs) provide expertise in EMS integration, energy systems, storage, finance, and policy implications. A technical partner deploys digital twins (DTs), harnessing modelling power for solution design and prototyping and 5 regional business support organisations (BSOs) guide EMS demonstrations in NL, FR, IE, DE, BE and accelerate replication across NWE via their networks.

["NWE0300368","ASSET","A Spatial Strategy for the Eurodelta, boosting a circular builT environment","A circular built environment (CBE) comes with new demands for space –circular building hubs, storage spaces for reused materials, sorting, growing biobased materials, etc. This transition adds to the already big spatial claims of the energy transition, climate adaptation and regeneration of biodiversity. But this topic is largely unknown territory: policymakers are only beginning to realize the far-reaching spatial implications of a truly circular built environment. The partners in this project are going to explore these implications, and in particular how the Eurodelta region (the Rhine, Scheldt and Meuse delta conurbations including the Randstad, Brussels and Rhine-Ruhr area) can become a blueprint for a European CBE region, with its population density, proximity and accessibility (important for closing loops), and many construction activities already crossing the borders of jurisdictions within the Eurodelta.\n\nThe project ASSET aims to develop a spatial strategy for a CBE in the Eurodelta. It supports the partners to establish a jump in scale from the urban/regional level to a larger macro-regional spatial perspective. Project partners will review their local strategies to exploit interregional synergies. \n\nAs a result of ASSET, the partners will have new insights into the current -largely unknown- spatial challenges of a CBE, and have identified potentials for interregional collaboration. The insights will find their way into the local circular policies, paving the way for concrete actions and structural cooperation in the Eurodelta. The outputs of the project -spatial design principles, practical ideas, actions, best practices- will be widely shared in European regions and cities.\nWe start by mapping the state-of-the art and learn from each other’s practices during a study trip. This will reveal a first understanding of the limitations of local/regional CBE strategies and point towards possible solutions on an interregional and Eurodelta level. Next, the city and regional partners organise local workshops with relevant stakeholders, to derive spatial design principles but also explore concrete actions to improve the local circular strategies within a macro-regional context. The research partners in the consortium will provide scientific support. Student workshops and university courses will be held to generate fresh perspectives. Finally, the building blocks are brought together in a 3-day workshop in which partners and associated partners jointly develop a strategy for a CBE on the level of the Eurodelta.","2024-01-01","2025-06-30","(VI-B_NWE_3) Transition towards a place-based circular economy","RSO2.6.

With 11 project partners, + 30 associated partners & external advisors, the project’s target is to determine the potential feasibility to create a spatial strategy for a circular built environment for the EuroDelta and to build a stronger partnership – firstly between participating partners and secondly with associated partners. From the start,  project partners agreed that ASSET functions as a preparation phase for further collaboration & follow-up projects. \n\nThe aims of ASSET:\na) to better understand the concept of circular economy (CE) and circular built environment (CBE) \nb) to explore the (spatial) implications and challenges of transitioning to a CBE\nc) to find innovative frontrunner ideas for CE and CBE within the EuroDelta\nd) to understand spatial design principles that can be implemented on different spatial scales and find interconnectivities between \ne) to understand the specific situation of the EuroDelta (lower ends of Rhine, Schelde, Meuse waterbasins). \nf) to develop a strategy for a circular built EuroDelta including inspirational visions, and policy recommendations \ng) to start a future collaboration.\n\nThe ASSET project was structured in 3 phases: 1) Knowing 2) Exploring 3) Recommending. The activities led to 3 inspirational visions for a CBE prioritizing biobased materials, secondary materials & defining potential spaces for symbiosis. There are policy recommendations for: a) development of spatial strategy for EuroDelta b) further collaboration within EuroDelta.\n\nThe inspirational visions & recommendations could not have been developed without local knowledge of project partners, stakeholders spoken to & from projects that were come across during ASSET. This provided a thorough understanding of spatial challenges of CE on different scales, revealing the relationship between regions & key sectors. ASSET provided a framework for further collaboration, actions & areas where knowledge is still lacking.\n\nThe mix of economic development agencies, spatial planners, experts on sustainability within cities & universities from 3 neighbouring countries required stakeholders to clearly articulate their local contexts.The discussions not only exposed obstacles to cross-border collaboration but offered fresh perspectives on local challenges. For instance, some enterprises view EuroDelta as a single market for selling timber for housing development and consider different building codes an  obstacle. It was also observed that some businesses operate at this scale to collect & export steel via Dutch seaports, which contributes to a shortage of steel for innovative European steel recycling companies in Duisburg.\n\nGiven the project’s limited duration, only a quick scan was conducted. In the next phase, inspirational visions will need to be validated, involving essential stakeholders from public & private sectors. The current results already outline a shared agenda for further collaboration and offers valuable insights for local & regional policies. They provide regional & local actors with new insights of their own urban & regional contexts, their role within a circular built EuroDelta and inspire innovative solutions to address local challenges. For some stakeholders, this  work has proven agenda-setting, resulting in new policy developments within their cities & regions.\n\nThe project has demonstrated that working at EuroDelta scale is beneficial for addressing urban challenges. Stakeholders across EuroDelta face similar issues within a shared economic & environmental context. The unique position of EuroDelta as the most urbanized & industrialized region in Europe functions as an economic gateway for a big part of Europe. However, it is also a major contributor to environmental degradation & vulnerable to climate change. Ensuring a successful transition to CBE is not only critical for reducing environmental impact, but also for maintaining EuroDelta’s role in the European economy. This requires a fast transition to a new economic model in the EuroDelta – a regenerative model that restores the natural system of the Delta to create space for future growth. \n\nWithin the complexity of current political, cultural, and administrative landscape of the EuroDelta, a new governance system is needed to address the challenges collectively – to build capacity and to align policies & actions. To define the priorities, spatial strategies can provide support. This integrated approach helps define sectoral questions, identify stakeholders and discussion points, and offer inspiring visions for the future. ASSET demonstrates the power of spatial design within complex sectoral questions revealing consequences of sectoral policies & interrelationships between scales. Solutions proven effective across the 3 countries can be scaled up and adapted to other regions in Europe – positioning the EuroDelta as a model for the continent.\n","Brussels, Rotterdam, Aachen, Delft, Duisburg, The Hague, Bruxelles , Krefeld, Amsterdam","BE, NL, DE",{"$nulls":5},11]
["NWE0200242","Green SKHy","Green Skills and Knowledge for Hydrogen","In order to achieve climate neutrality by 2050, the European Commission presented a hydrogen strategy in July 2020 aimed at accelerating the development of clean hydrogen. Hydrogen must be one of the pillars of the European energy system, in conjunction with the renewable energies that must feed or complement it, and allow the decarbonisation of industry and mobility while contributing to the European Union's energy independence. In 2023, local and national projects related to hydrogen, both private and public, are multiplying, particularly in North-Western Europe, one of the most energy-intensive areas of the continent. Although the use of hydrogen is not new, the new dimension taken on by this sector will have an impact on many trades and will require a vast effort in training and certification of skills, as well as acculturation of the general public. Building the hydrogen industry means building a European community of skills to serve the energy transition and prevent shortages of skilled labour. \n\nThe aim of our project is to promote the development of the clean hydrogen sector by reducing the obstacles to the European recognition of skills and related systems through joint action plans and by promoting careers that can contribute to the energy transition through new practical training schemes. This ambition involves networking the actors in charge of skills and certifications, developing and testing specific training and acculturation modules, and implementing campaigns to promote the hydrogen sector and its opportunities. By bringing together within the consortium companies, public authorities as well as the main actors of initial and continuous training, the project should therefore support the development of a key sector for the energy transition by ensuring the empowerment of a large audience.","2024-01-01","2026-12-31","(VI-B_NWE_2) Smart and just energy transition","RSO2.2.

Hosted by ANL in Helmond (NL), it brought together all the project partners. It provided an opportunity to review the objectives, deliverables and outputs, as well as the rules of the INTERREG NWE programme (finance, communication, etc.). Working groups for each WP established a roadmap for the first few months of the project. This roadmap was validated by the partners at the end of the launch committee. In addition, 3 steering committees were organised via Teams on 18/12, 10/04 and 18/06. The purpose of these meetings was to provide a progress report on the activities and the partnership, to present the work and to plan the next stages.\n\nAs scheduled in the provisional timetable, WP1 and WP2 focused on carrying out the country inventories planned for P1. These concerned, respectively, an inventory of the qualifications required to work on an H2 installation (D1.1.1), skills needs analyses (D1.2.1) and the existing training offer (D2.1.1). These deliverables were produced within the deadline following several transnational working groups and in conjunction with several associated organisations. They may be updated during the course of the project due to their evolving nature. Once validated by the Programme, these deliverables will be published on the website. The next stage is to analyse and fill in the gaps observed. With regard to WP3, the partners have started to develop training content aimed at increasing the skills of students (A.3.1 & A3.2) and technical trainers (A.3.4). The first training sessions are scheduled for periods 2 and 3 and will provide the first experimental content.\n\nAll of this work was presented to the Advisory Board (A1.6), whose 1st meeting was held on 20/06 with around twenty associated organisations. They were able to assess the quality of the work and suggest improvements before it was finalised. Several associated organisations have indicated their wish to participate more closely in the consortium's activities (e.g. Besix / A3.1; Encevo / A.1.2). The consortium has also been enlarged with the participation of key players in the hydrogen sector (GazelEnergie, Hyster-Yale, Lycée Eiffel of Talange, Région Bourgogne Franche-Comté R-GDS / A.1.3).\n\nIn order to increase understanding of the challenges of hydrogen and the related skills, several events have been organised for specific audiences. For example, a major seminar was held on 19/03 in Metz (FR), co-organised with the EURES-t Grande Région network (D.1.5.1). Dedicated to hydrogen-related professions and skills, it brought together nearly 300 participants from Luxembourg, Germany, Belgium and France. The afternoon was devoted to a Hydrogen Village, which enabled 200 secondary school students to discover career opportunities in hydrogen through discussions with training organisations, universities and companies. A cross-border Hydrogen Tour was also organised in June with stops in France, Germany and Luxembourg to inform our audiences (>750 participants) about hydrogen careers (A.3.5 & 3.6). Several visits to outstanding hydrogen sites and laboratories (A.1.6) as well as H2 training areas (A.2.4) were also organised in Belgium, France and the Netherlands for a total of 150 participants.\n\nThe coordination team has also launched the project's communication. It has produced a communication strategy (D.1.7.1) co-constructed by the project partners and approved by the steering committee. This is based around the regularly updated website provided by the programme, publications on LinkedIn (over 500 followers at the end of August), the opening of the YouTube channel, publications in the media and the creation of appropriate communication media (roll-ups, flyers, etc.) for use by the partners. \n\nAs a summary, the project has been officially launched on February and has already achieved some of its deliverables thanks to their transnational cooperation.\nDuring period 2, WP1 made significant progress with the development of a joint survey on hydrogen skills needs in companies (D.1.2.2). Led by the clusters with support from AFPA, the survey was validated during the 2nd Advisory Board Meeting on December 16, 2024. It integrates feedback from all partners and enables a transnational comparison of skill gaps. At the same time, the Inventory of Practices for Public Employment Services in the hydrogen sector was finalized, thanks to contributions from project partners and each country’s PES.\n\nThe 2nd Advisory Board Meeting, co-facilitated by Cluster TWEED and AFPA, also took place during this period. It brought together project partners to review progress on the different WP and specially on the hydrogen skills survey, communication activities, and upcoming activities (D.1.4.2). In addition, five technical visits were organized across different countries. \n\nCommunication activities also help to increase the project’s visibility. The LinkedIn page reached 750 subscribers by December 2024 and the first Communication Report was jointly prepared by KBD’s Communication Manager and AFPA.  (D.1.7.2)\n\n\nWP2 focused on the development of hydrogen training infrastructure. Eight potential hydrogen training labs were identified in the NWE region, and discussions with universities, companies, and vocational training centers advanced to define access conditions for these facilities. However, no formal agreements have been made yet. To ensure the infrastructure meets industry needs, project partners also held regular meetings to discuss the design of a hydrogen training facility. (D.2.1.2)\n\nMoreover, PLANET, DWG, and RUG worked together to design the hydrogen training laboratory, defining the required equipment to meet industry and training needs.  AFPA also contributed to this deliverable by providing detailed information about its own hydrogen training facility, inaugurated in Metz on November 19, 2024. (D.2.2.1).\n\nIn WP3, project partners continued to develop education and awareness initiatives on hydrogen careers, despite some scheduling changes. The planned Summer School on Hydrogen Production and Uses was held instead as a Winter School in Liège from January 27 to 31, 2025, offering training sessions and site visits. (D.3.1.3)\n\nIn October 2024, the Autumn School on Hydrogen Mobility took place in Belfort (D.3.2.1), bringing together 30 students from various project partner countries. Other key events, such as the Hydrogen Economy Conference in Luxembourg (July 2024) and the ACE Mobility Career Day in Arnhem (October 2024), provided opportunities for students and professionals to explore careers in the hydrogen sector. \n\nIn addition, the first TTT session was held in Völklingen, Saarland (DE), from October 7 to 11, 2024, with 8 technical trainers participating. This session, organized by KBD, provided hands on experience with hydrogen production and handling, including visits to Bosch Homburg and IZES hydrogen infrastructures. The dates for TTT 3 and 4 were also set during period 2 : TTT 3, focusing on maintenance, will take place from March 17 to 21, 2025, and TTT 4, focusing on industry decarbonization, will be held from June 2 to 7, 2025 (D.3.4.1).\n\nFinally, PVF, in collaboration with AFPA and the University of Strasbourg, organized the \"Journée Trinationale des Carrières de l'Hydrogène\" on November 27, 2024, in Strasbourg. The event, focused on hydrogen jobs and skills, featured masterclasses, presentations, a trinational roundtable, and a hydrogen village with company and training organization stands. (A.3.6)\n\nOur project continued along the same lines as in previous periods, including in particular: \n\nWP1: work to achieve a cross-cutting and transnational analysis of the national and regional inventories carried out during P1 & P2.

A high potential for use of RES in the GH sector is unexploited because expertise on promising RES in GHs is locked behind borders and GH holders often lack time, means and knowledge (depends on scattered information) to make decisions.\n6 real life GH set-ups (pilots) in 4 NWE countries (BE, FR, LU, NL) with 6 RES technologies (heat networks, biogas, wood heating system, pellet heater, residual heat, PV) will inform, inspire and stimulate GH holders and stakeholders to transition to RES by organising demonstration visits and factsheets. With the set-up and implementation of a transnational measurement plan and transfer system for these pilots, they are also the source of information for the development of a gamechanger by the transnational RES- and GH experts: the Greenhouse (GH) RES Decision tool. This is an accessible tool (e.g. a decision tree) for the GH holders in NWE to determine which RES are possible and opportune for their GH.\nThe tool is widely rolled-out and adopted in BE, DE, FR, LU, NL via the use of the GH RES Decision tool on 35 GH sites (including support in the switch to RES), training schemes for 75 stakeholder organisations such as umbrella organisations, policymakers, energy consultants, industrial partners, GH builders, … and overall communication and dissemination. Together with the demonstration visits, this is the key to the long term use of the tool and uptake of RES production, storage and consumption in NWE GHs.

Partners published on their websites or made  a project webpage. E.g. Inagro published two news articles with project updates which were also included in the Inagro newsletter, sent to 2888 contacts.\n\nSecond highlight was the setup of a joint measurement plan and transfer system on RES data and information. (WP1, A.1.1) \n- Through the several meetings a jointly scheme of the possible parameters to measure was defined. Final agreement of all partners with this list is expected to be given on the next monthly meeting or on the next pilot visit on 23/10/24.\n- The transfer system was also jointly setup: the template for structuring the data was put in place and Inagro will do the test on the data produced in september 2024. If all goes well, then all partners can start using this model. \n\nThird highlight was the joint development of the tool itself.\nFor A.2.1 we organized a meeting with project partners to discuss and allocate responsibilities for the four local user groups (Belgium, France, Netherlands, Germany+Luxembourg). During this work, the term \"necessary stakeholder\" was defined using a Stakeholder Map on miro.com. Additionally, based on input from project partners, a handout was developped  to address these stakeholders. \nD.2.1.1:To kick off the local user group in Germany+Luxembourg, meetings with German associations at both regional and federal levels were conducted. \nThe transnational user group (incl. all pilot partners) was established at the project's inception, allowing collaborative work to commence immediately.\nD 2.1.2: meeting concerning the key performance indicators (KPIs) to be used during the project (benchmark of different pilot sites, possible tool input/output as well as general benchmark opportunity).\nIn A2.2: a working group was formed consisting of IfaS, Inagro, CTIFL, THUAS, and GPWH where HSTrier/IfaS presented ideas on the methodology for developing the tool. Based on discussions from online meetings, HSTrier/IfaS developed templates to collect the necessary data.. All involved partners are collaborating to gather the required information from their respective countries.\n\nThe development of the measurement system and the data transfer were the most important tasks in WP1.\nIn the monthly meeting a consensus was reached about the needed measurements (D.1.1.1) and the way these data should be transferred to IfAs for processing = digitally by excel ( D.1.1.2) \nSince october 2024 the actual data of both Inagro pilot sites ( glass house and biogass ) have been collected and were monthly sent.

Several people asked Inagro to join the belgian group. In most countries the creation of the local user groups is on its way. France was the first to organise their user group. (D.2.1.1)\n\nA lot of time has been spent in debate between partners about the functional specifications of the tool. \nIt became clear that the greenhousesector is very different in the participating countries. While in the Netherlands greenhouseholders are fully studying how they can make the transition to RES with their almost  industrial organised greenhouses, in the other countries the greenhousesector is (much) less developped in the approach of the energy-problems. These differences have a big impact on the expectations about the outcome of the tool. \nIn period 2 the partners did not yet reach consensus about these specifications, even after individual meetings between IFAS and the partners were organised to get a clear view on each partners vision. \nBecause the design of the tool highly depends on the choosen specifications, the by IFAS proposed process chain that has been developped as the backbone of the tool-design, was not approved by the partners yet. \nAll partners agreed that in this matter a consensus between all partners is needed. It was agreed that the pilotvisits to France ( planned  on 27/03/2025) will be used to find that consensus.\n\nThe sixmonthly meetings were held physically in the pilot sites of Inagro in july 2024 ( 2 sites) and Luxembourg in october 2024. \nThose visits were extremely useful to all partners to understand the technical issues of the RES-systems on those sites and what extra measurement equipment was needed. \nIn a way, these visits smoothened the debate by making it clear to all partners that the degree of industrialisation of the greenhousesector in every country heavily impacts the national expextations of the tool. \nWe are convinced that the visit to the last pilot sites in France (02/25) will prove that the only way to buid a relevant tool for the whole NWE-region  lies in the value of mutual understanding of eachothers needs and in working jointly to a tool that integrates those different needs.\n\n\nWorking principles stayed the same:  digital monthly and threemonthly meetings combined with physical 6-monthly meetings. \nThe most important topics on these meetings were: \n* drafting a NDA-agreement that has to be signed by the pilot-sites \n* drafting a GDPR-agreement that has to be signed by the pilot-sites\n* finding consensus on the concept of the tool \nIn February we combined the physical partnermeeting with a visit to the 2 pilots in France, in Juin we combined it with the Greentech Fair in Amsterdam and a visit to the dutch pilot-sites. \n\nThe most important fact was that we reached consensus about the concept of the tool. as long as this was not descided, it was impossible to start programming the tool. \nNow this is agreed upon, at he meeting of 28/08/25 in Leuven we could focus on building the interface. \n","Naaldwijk , ZOETERMEER, Brussels, BRINDAS, Neubrücke/Nahe, Delft, CARQUEFOU, Leuven, BETTEMBOURG, Rennes, Roeselare, De Lier","NL, BE, FR, DE, LU",{"$nulls":5},12]

LDTs are building blocks of systemic innovation. LDTs can visualize, analyse and simulate territories in a way that could not be done before, integrating datasets from multiple stakeholders simultaneously in a single 2D/3D virtual environment.\n\nToday, LDT technology and high-value data sets are available even for communities with smaller budgets. Many cities experiment already with LDTs. But characteristics and maturity of experiments differ widely. Development and deployment is usually hindered by lack of understanding of what a LDT is, and how it can help in territorial planning. Resulting in lack of proof of impact, hence lack of local political support, and of opportunities to increase innovation capacity, notably among public authorities.\n\n\nTwin4Resilience (T4R) aims for:\n-\tIncreased understanding, skills, and competences among civil servants, territorial planning companies, and citizens on opportunities and limitations of using LDTs.\n-\tLDTs deployed inclusively, democratically, affordably, and sustainably in territorial decision-making processes in many more local and regional public authorities, increasing resilience and improving livelihood.\n-\tNarrowed gap between cities implementing LDTs (frontrunners), those trying to (followers), and those not (yet) aware of the potential of LDTs.\n\nT4R Outputs (as schematized in Attachment 'T4R intervention and cooperation logic') are:\n-\t1 Joint Strategy and Action Plan, resulting from joint implementation of 4 jointly developed Frameworks covering LDT technical design, governance, ethical/inclusion/democratization, and training. The Frameworks will be co-created by the Transnational Framework Groups, and with stakeholders outside the T4R consortium (including local stakeholders). The Frameworks serve as an implementation handbook for cities and communities starting with LDTs, enabling all frontrunners and followers to benefit from WP2 and WP\n\n3.\n-\t8 Pilot Actions jointly developed and implemented by 8 local and regional authorities - CITYUTR, AMS, DCC, RM, BXLCITY, ICL, SCHUTT, and VMM - in 4Transnational Framework Groups and 4 Transnational territorial planning Thematic Clusters (Energy, Mobility, Environment, Integrated Territorial Planning) in which all partners – frontrunner and followers - participate, in cooperation with stakeholders outside T4R, including local stakeholders groups, resulting in a jointly developed Solution.\n-\t300 Participants in Joint Training scheme. T4R will create a collective train-the-trainer program, based on the European lifelong learning framework European Skills, Competences, and Occupations, in close cooperation with local and regional authority territorial planners, local stakeholders, T4R innovation support partners, as well as the Transnational Community of Practice of 130+ stakeholders outside T4R.\n\nBeneficiaries are Local, regional, and national public authorities, General Public Higher education and research organisations, Interest groups and NGOs, Small and Medium Enterprises.\n\nApproach and need for transnational cooperation:\nT4R brings together 7 local and 2 regional public authorities, 3 higher education and research organizations, 1 SME, and 1 NGO, from 6 different NWE countries. In the project, 8 local and regional authorities will jointly implement 8 Pilot Actions. They encompass frontrunner and follower cities and communities already working with Local Digital Twins as data-driven decision support tools in territorial planning. They range in size from 6,000 to 919,000 inhabitants, and differ in cultural and political characteristics. This diversity in many respects ensures that T4R Outputs and Results will be of use and value for all public authorities in NWE and beyond, which is further strengthened by collaboration throughout the project with the Transnational Community of Practice of stakeholders outside the T4R consortium, including local stakeholders and relevant ongoing European projects and networks.\n\nNew/original:\nT4R is not about developing technology, but about increasing people’s capacity (hence also policies and governments) to deal with change.T4R will dramatically enhance the research and innovation capacities of 130+ organizations to better deal with complex challenges in territorial planning using LDT as data-driven decision support tools – ethically, inclusively, democratically, affordably, effectively, and sustainably - through joint action on technical design, governance, ethics, and skilling.","2024-01-01","2027-06-30","(VI-B_NWE_4) Improving territorial resilience in NWE through innovative and smart transformation","RSO1.1.

["NWE0400669","Better-Calf","Dairy calf systems for resilience, welfare and sustainability in rural territories","Small scale farming plays a key role in employment and land use in rural areas of North-West Europe (NWE) and yet faces several challenges: economic (low farm incomes, market volatility, etc.), environmental (biodiversity decline, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, climate stresses, etc.), and societal (e.g. perceptions of animal welfare). Consequently, in some of these regions, up to 50% of farmers do not have successors when they retire. This is particularly the case for small and medium sized livestock farms with many of these farms subsequently integrated into larger-scale farm systems.\nThere is an opportunity for livestock farmers to use dairy calves (i.e. calves born from dairy cows) and to add value to these calves by growing them to mature live weights. This opportunity is greatly enhanced if these calves are reared at pasture in ‘grass-based systems’ – such systems are considered desirable as they reduce competition between human food and animal feed, increase soil carbon storage, improve water quality and create local and high-quality food.\nThe objective of this project is to support the resilience of rural territories in NWE and the livelihoods of family farms by developing grass-based dairy calf systems. Such dairy calf systems are at different stages of development throughout NWE, and so transnational cooperation will help adapt production to territorial specificities.\nThe project is built on farmer-groups and experimental farms to co-design enhanced grass-based dairy-calf systems. In addition, multi-actor groups including farmers, advisers, co-operatives and public bodies will define territorial plans for resilient and sustainable dairy calf supply chains.\nThe transnational approach permits the involvement of a large number of partners according to their expertise. The diversity of these partners, and their knowledge of the soil and climatic conditions which prevail in NWE, will ensure a wide and coordinated response.","2025-01-01","2028-12-31","(VI-B_NWE_4) Improving territorial resilience in NWE through innovative and smart transformation","RSO1.1.

Shortly after approval, the partners gathered online in February for an initial meeting to align on the first steps. This set the stage for the internal kick-off in Harlingen, the Netherlands, on April 2–3. Alongside the formal steering group, the meeting was an important opportunity for partners to get to know one another, explore each other’s activities, and strengthen the sense of community around the project.\n\nFrom the outset, W4S aimed not only to build internal cohesion but also to connect with the wider maritime community. To that end, the external launch of the project was scheduled for the Wind for Goods conference in Saint Nazaire in June. Here, W4S introduced itself to industry stakeholders with a project stand and a dedicated session that drew around 40 participants, placing the project firmly on the map within its target sector.\n\nCommunication has been a central focus from the start. A strategy was developed early on, resulting in concrete outputs such as a project poster, a website, a LinkedIn page, and a YouTube channel. These platforms ensure that W4S is visible to both industry partners and the broader public, supporting outreach and engagement at multiple levels.\n\nAround three objectives, progress is already made: \n\n1. SCALED UP PRODUCTION \nFirst explorations are made, partners met and have a better understanding of how to proceed. The market for WASP is dynamic and increasing, partner EWD sold 75 wings in 2025 and expects to produce 150 wings in 2026.

In NWE, \n\n17.5% of young people aged suffer from mental health problems. This particularly fragile population requires appropriate care and accessible, innovative therapies to support recovery, at a time when mental health services dedicated to teenagers are saturated.\n\nResearch has shown promising results for therapies based on immersion in the forest, particularly with regard to symptoms of depression and anxiety. Taking advantage of the NWE region's 20%+ woodland, the project intends to exploit the potential of these natural spaces for the benefit of adolescent mental health users. These promising therapies are not yet being implemented in NWE.\n\nThe project aims to expand the utilisation of forest areas as a therapeutic resource for teenagers targeted, emphasising the accessibility and recovery-oriented aspects. The innovation aspect lies into the strong joint collaboration between both mental health and forest sector to develop this approach.\n\nBy integrating forest-based therapies into mental health care facilities and encouraging their adoption, the project aims to provide holistic support to young people struggling with mental health issues, taking advantage of the transnational approach to ensure a wide accessibility to the solutions developed by the partnership.\n\nThe outcomes are: \n- a joint synthesis of the forest-based initiatives and research experiences at the benefit of teenagers facing mental health issues\n- a joint care protocol integrating both real and VR forest experiences\n- implementation of 8 pilot therapeutic forests in NWE countries and of pilot VR immersive forest-based activities\n- implementation of pilot actions targeting 400 teenagers facing mental health issues\n- development of guidelines for public authorities, foresters and mental health professionals\n- development of tailor-made training framework for mental health professionals and foresters\n- implementation of 5 reference centres to ensure sustainability of the outcomes of the project. \n\nFrom the very beginning of the project's implementation, the entire process will involve input and feedback from the adolescents targeted, their families, mental health and forestry professionals, public authorities, and experts.

One impactful reason is the fact that they can’t reap the benefits of the digital transformation and the efficiency driven “farming \n\n4.\n\n0.” Furthermore, the so-called “agri-bashing” does not emphasise the relevance of farming for a resilient and green community. Hence, these farmers are key players in animal welfare and climate change resilience (see C.2).\nThe “HoliCow”-team holds a data-driven solution that will adapt and implement existing “Big-Data” solutions and custom-fit/upcale them for small/midsized farms in the entire NWE territory. It is e.g. new that also external data (climate) and interactive software tools for transparent farming will be integrated. This will enable farmers to stay in their territory and take part in modern farming methods with affordable tools. HoliCow does reveal synergies with other instruments that assists small, rural farms (see Activity \n\n1.\n\n2.).\nA transnational approach is vital to calibrate the wide range of different cows/farms towards standardised solutions and to generate enough data to produce a meaningful alert system.

The communication strategy has also been drafted, and it will probably be updated on a yearly basis to stick with the reality of the project and the new developments. \n\nAll partners decided in which tasks and activities they wanted to be concretely involved for each WP. The LP organized monthly coordination meetings with the WP leaders (PP6 for WP1, PP11 for WP2 and PP2 for WP3) to track the activities. \n\nFor WP1, a big achievement is the filling in of the transnational database. Indeed, this database contains to date up to 30 million of spectral data and milk related data. This is unisque, and we expect to go up to 50 million in the next period. This is the first step to apply machine learning models of the data to generate the different clusters. However, this amount of data is quite challenging, in terms of IT capacity and poses thus challenges for the data reduction, which is the next step. In addition, a comprehensive list of MIR prediction equations has been produced. This list is very important as it is the first document we ever produced summarizing all existing equations, their units, performances, specificities the dataset used for calibration, the project it comes from and the usage right we have on it. After data reduction, an API to predict all these traits will be produced, and then the unsupervised clustering methods will be applied on the predictions. To anticipate, the WP1 teams already brainstormed and produced a preliminary document about the unsupervised learning methods that exist and could be tested on our data to create the 6 different clusters. A WP1 task is also the design of the community database. In order to apprehend how it can work, a review of the literature on natural language processing has been performed.  \n\nFor WP2, several activities started. The first step was to assess the capabilities of the IT systems of the different MRO partners, to ensure that they will be able to use the outputs of the models. It is quite reassuring, as nearly all MROs can use Dockers and APIs in their system. A series a webinars is planned to show how implementation can work in the different IT systems of the partners. The data flow also needed to be drafter by the partners, and a provisional data flow has been produced, with questions still needed to be answered by the next periods. The activity about smart monitoring started, with PP3 taking the lead on the “daily check” activity, that will ensure that all partners use quality spectral data that don’t drift over time. \n\nIn terms of pilot farms recruitment, the status is quite different depending on the partners. The consortium has to have a lot of discussions about how much farms are needed, how to organize communication with them, what are the extra data we would like to gather. Thus, some partners are a bit delayed with this task.\n\nWP3 did not start as soon as the other WPs, but the next period will see the start-up phase of this WP.  \n\nThis period was quite intense for the different teams, especially for WP1 and communication teams. This was due to the fact that it was crucial to establish effective links between the three work packages. Hence, the WP-leaders entered a regular and constructive exchange to coordinate and intertwine the working groups focusing on WP-related activities. \nConcerning WP1, the database continued to be filled in by the partners, and we reached and unexpectedly high 63 million of data in total, which is quite unique and a great achievement. \nAs a logical consequence, the mere number of data needed to be processed and challenges came up: \nFor example, data scientists, while working with the data, noticed some erroneous data and missing values for milk parameters. Thus, a second round of data sending and checking had to be handled. The data scientists worked thus on guidelines for the checking of data quality. PP6 also worked on a pipeline for prediction of more than 500 biomarkers, and reduced to 200 after cleaning of redundant information. The predictions were run on the reduced dataset and sent to the data scientists to work on the clustering. 3 groups have the first clusters, to be validated and tested on field: milk processing, heat stress and welfare. For some groups, like environment, fertility and production, the historical data of each cow is necessary. This involved the extraction of the entire dataset from the transnational database and the running of the prediction pipeline on it. This will be done in the next period. WP1 also started the discussion about the community solution database and a first draft was presented. \n\nAlso in the spirit of a strong cooperation between the WPs, the recruitment of pilot farms continued, and we now reach 17 committed farms that will luckily accompany us throughout all WP-phases. We expect the others to be committed by July 2024.\nConcerning WP2, several activities were led. Firstly, the WP leader (PP11) analysed the survey sent to the MROs in the previous period. Considering the results, the team decided to implement the clustering probabilities models using the Docker technology. The MROs of the partnership, who will be implementing these, have been investigated their technological abilities and get prepared. The WP2 team (PP5, PP8, PP11) also led a webinar about the creation of Dockers, meant for data scientists and IT specialists (13 attendees and the meeting was recorded). The data flow structure was also refined and the WP2 team decided to work with Gitlab as central model repository, hosting the codes and clusters versions. LP will work on giving access to their Gitlab server of elevéo. The quality assurance group also found laboratories to test at a large scale the new daily check method that will allow to control and correct the spectral data on a daily basis. This is essential as the spectral data are the input data and need to be of high quality. \nCommunication activities concerned WP1, WP2 and WP3. A lot of activities were carried out: launch of the newsletter in March, followed by 1 newsletter/month, articles on the website, creation of visual identity (pictograms for the project presentation), creation of a poster, feed of the LinkedIn account, presentation of the project at the European Network of Agricultural Journalists, TV interview, meetings to discuss about activities to organize with citizens, production of a company profile, videos of some pilot farms. \nMonthly coordination meetings were held with LP, WP1, WP2 and WP3.\n\n\nProgress of the HoliCow Project: Key Achievements\n\nThe HoliCow project has made notable progress across work packages (WPs) in the past period. Key advancements include data clustering, IT systems development, and farmer engagement. Here is a summary of the main achievements.\n\nWP1: Clustering, Predictions, and Communication\n\nIn WP1, predictions were generated from the entire dataset and provided to data scientists for clustering. Heat stress and milk processing clusters are ready for pilot farm testing, while work on environment, welfare, and production clusters continues. The fertility clustering faced challenges, and alternative methods will be explored in the future.\nCommunication efforts were robust, with the newsletter reaching 127 subscribers and LinkedIn growing to 343 followers. Testimonial videos and blog articles were shared across platforms, increasing visibility. The project was also presented at major events, including the Libramont Agricultural Fair, the European Federation of Agricultural Journalists’ event, and the Interreg NWE Annual Event.\nLP managed the transnational database, led communication activities, and participated in events. PP2 developed models on fertility, production, and other topics. PP3 coordinated environmental groups and integrated variables into a tool. PP6 led WP1, focusing on data cleaning and clustering. PP8 researched heat stress and cow health. PP10 finalized clustering pipelines and explored ChatGPT for farmer solutions. PP12 contributed to visualization discussions.\n\nWP2: IT Systems and Pilot Farm Collaboration\n\nWP2 concentrated on IT infrastructure. The GitLab system for versioning code and storing Docker containers was successfully implemented. PP5 and PP6 developed a pipeline for creating Docker containers, supporting the clustering topics. A second webinar for IT teams was held in September (organised by PP8), training partners on the central repository system. PP5 in collaboration with PP3 also improved the standardization platform for monitoring spectra.\nPilot farms were engaged, with all partners selecting farms and gathering feedback. A booklet documenting pilot farms' experiences and expectations is under development to foster a sense of community, and two videos of pilot farms were shot and distributed. \n\nWP3: Community Engagement and Farmer Support\n\nWP3 focused on improving the image of small farms. A general concept for support was developed, and regional action plans are being adapted. Myth-busting content on dairy farming was shared, and a quiz for children helped educate the public in a first event.\nTestimonial videos from farmers introduced their farms and expectations, helping bridge the gap between farmers and the public. Pilot farm meetings in Belgium and Ireland facilitated exchanges, and similar events are planned in other countries. A guide for organizing open farm days is under development.\n\nConclusion\n\nThe HoliCow project has made strong progress in data analysis, IT infrastructure, and community engagement. Clustering topics are moving forward, and communication efforts have increased the project's visibility. Collaboration with pilot farms and local communities has strengthened, providing a solid foundation for the next phase. The project remains on track to achieve its goals of sustainable farming and broader stakeholder engagement, even if some delays are to be noted.\n\nThe HoliCow project has made strong progress by combining scientific innovation, farmer engagement, and public outreach across its three work packages. Together, these efforts are supporting a practical and inclusive approach to data-driven dairy farming in Europe.\n\nData-driven diagnosis and innovation (WP1)\nThe project developed clusters to help farmers and advisors better understand and manage heat stress, milk processing, animal health, and environmental impact. Work is ongoing to refine fertility-related clusters, while production remains a complex issue due to its connection with all other factors. The research shows that big data solutions can be useful for farms of all sizes. The project’s outreach supports this message, with newsletters, LinkedIn updates, farm reports, and direct contacts reaching farmers and decision-makers at regional, national, and European levels. Partners advanced environment and health models and developed visualization prototypes. A first draft of the solution database exists and has been refined thanks to an advisor from LP. A more refined version reviewed by all MRO partners will be done for the next period.\n\nTurning research into practical tools (WP2)\nA key focus was turning models into tools that farmers can use. Partners worked together to develop and share Docker-based solutions on a common GitLab server, supported by webinars for IT staff. These solutions allow milk recording organizations to calculate clusters within their existing IT infrastructures. Pilot farm meetings in several countries was the first step before testing the approach and gathering feedback. A nearly completed booklet of pilot farms is helping build a sense of community across regions. Communication also targeted farmers directly through testimonial videos and demonstrations, while high-level presentations to European stakeholders highlighted the wider benefits of the project. Technical progress included improved spectral data and biomarker APIs, shared workflows among German-speaking partners, and containerized infrastructures for easy deployment across different MROs IT systems.\n\nAnchoring farmers in their communities (WP3)\nThe project also focused on positioning farmers as active players in sustainable rural communities. Most partners prepared country-specific action plans to guide training for farmers and advisors, with pilot farm tests planned for 2026. Communication and outreach activities reached a wide audience: pilot farm videos, farm visits for children, and high school workshops introduced modern dairy farming, linking biology, data, and digital technology. An educational game is being developed for schools. Participation in events such as Printemps des Sciences and TERRA Day helped connect young people with farming and science, while German-speaking partners organized online meetings in their native language to strengthen community among pilot farms.\n\nAdded value of cooperation\nHoliCow shows the benefits of working across borders. By combining expertise in data science, animal health, environment, IT, and communication, partners produced results that no single organization could achieve alone. Tools developed in one country are adapted and tested in others; training concepts are improved through shared experience; and outreach activities promote the importance of small and midsized farms across Europe. From laboratories and servers to classrooms and farmyards, the project builds links between science, practice, and society.\nOverall, HoliCow is advancing both technical innovation and community engagement, making data-driven solutions useful, understandable, and accessible for a wide range of dairy farming systems across Europe.\n","n/a","FR, IE, DE, NL, BE, LU",{"$nulls":5},12]

The partners also used these occasions to physically meet a first time during an evening meeting organized by the lead partner on February 14 in Lille, where they reviewed objectives and deliverables of the CIRCUS project and discussed the specific expectations which each project partner has.\n\nA second (three-day) meeting, physically attended by all project partners and titled the “Project Partner Kick-Off Meeting”, was organized in Leuven (Belgium) on 10-12 June with the aim to formally launch and coordinate the transnational co-creation process amongst the various partners. \n\nAt this meeting, Work Package 1 Leader CLA did invite partners KIT, EPV, LG and CLA to present the current version of their respective tools which will serve as a basis for establishing the CIRCUS method to all 11 project partners (LG, ISP, EPV, MTU, UT, KIT, RURANT, ZLTO, SKDP, CLA, RECIT). In addition the presenters  highlighted which data they would require to adapt these tools making them applicable to all rural NWE regions, hence launching the work needed to deliver the first set of project deliverables (D.1.1.1, D.1.2.1, D.1.3.1 and D.1.4.1.) \n\nA follow-up meeting to further evaluate the tools and schedule the next steps required to adapt the tools and unite them into one single CIRCUS method will be organized in Redon (France) on 17-19 July. This meeting will be attended by partners CLA, LG, KIT, EPV and RECIT. \n\nAs far as the communication objective is concerned, deliverable D.1.6.1. (\"issue a detailed, target specific communication plan and communication toolkit\") was achieved on time. In addition, a project communication network (including points of contact within each project partners' organization) was established. Also, a SharePoint communication platform was launched, accessible by all project partners. Work to be delivered in project period 2 (i.e. the deliverables D.1.6.2 and D.1.6.3) also started. Partner CLA hereto accepted the challenge to organize a Project Kick-Off Event in Lochem (The Netherlands) on 20-22 November 2024 and partner LG did design an excel-sheet which will be used to follow-up on communication initiatives related to Work Package 1.\n\nLinked to the communication strategy, project partners started interacting with their respective target groups, in preparation of the formal Project Kick-Off Event, scheduled on 20-22 November in Lochem (The Netherlands) and in anticipation of the selection of the 30 pilot communities who will start implementing and testing the CIRCUS method in 2025. \nInterreg NWE’s CIRCUS project aims to Connect Initiatives of Rural Communities, Up-scaling their Sustainable energy.

The regions in which the project partners are located, share a common challenge of achieving energy resilience and self-sufficiency, as they are located at the end of outdated electricity grids, which makes them vulnerable to energy shortages, especially with increasing electrification and limited capacity.\nBuilding upon our first partner meeting organized in Leuven (Belgium) in June, we started the second period by a two-day partner meeting in Redon (France) where partners CLA, EPV, KIT, RECIT and LG (leading the adaptation of the tools which are part of the CIRCUS method) met to further align expectations, deliverables and work plan linked to the first work program. This meeting was followed by numerous calls, coordinated by WP1 Leader CLA and partners CLA, KIT, EPV and LG, with all partners participating to the CIRCUS project. Purpose of these calls was to share the existing tools and gain feedback and insights from the other partners with the aim to adapt the tools to make them fit for all Interreg NWE regions. \nThe outcome of these interactions resulted in a first version of all four tools, which were presented and discussed during the second partner meeting in Lochem (Netherlands) to which also external stakeholders where invited. \nThe feedback made us conclude that we consider deliverables D.1.1.1, D.1.1.2, D.1.1.3, D.1.2.1, D.1.3.1, D.1.4.1, D.1.4.2 and D.1.4.3 as being completed.

This is still well in time to allow for their implementation and evaluation by the 30 pilot communities as of project Period 4, as scheduled in the original project planning. \nLinked to the second partner meeting, a successful Project Kick-Off Event was organized in Lochem (The Netherlands) to which more than 100 people participated (D.1.6.2). Also linked to the communication pillar, D.1.6.3. (a timetable allowing partners and lead partner to follow-up on the completion of deliverables) was finalized and published on the project SharePoint pages.   \nFinally, we also would like to mention an example where the close interaction between partners whilst adapting the tools, already led to an immediate impact:\nPartner ZLTO did benefit from the interaction with partner KIT whilst fine-tuning the GIS tool (meant to investigate opportunities for the installation of additional renewable energy production capacity). ZLTO did successfully share data generated by the tool during their interaction with the local authorities of the municipality of Etten-Leur, making the municipality an important stakeholder to realize ZLTO’s ambition to support the production of renewable energy by local farmers. \n\n\n\nInterreg NWE’s CIRCUS project aims to Connect Initiatives of Rural Communities, Up-scaling their Sustainable energy. Although the EU policy offers an efficient three step-logic for establishing energy communities, so far mainly innovators have taken initiatives to pursue local renewable energy production and energy communities. \nIn the CIRCUS project eleven partners from the rural regions of Baden-Württemberg (DE), North Brabant and Gelderland (NL), Flanders (BE), Redon Agglomeration (FR), and Munster (IE) joint forces to review and adapt tools developed in earlier projects primarily targeting this group of innovators.  The CIRCUS project aims the further and accelerated uptake of these previously developed tools, by adapting and reshaping them in a transnational, easily accessible method. The evaluation of the adapted method will occur by implementing and using the method in thirty energy communities. In addition, 150 advisors will be trained in using this method. The regions in which the project partners are located share a common challenge of achieving energy resilience and self-sufficiency, as they are located at the end of outdated electricity grids, which makes them vulnerable to energy shortages, especially with increasing electrification and limited capacity.\n\nDuring this third period, we focused on finalizing the activities and deliverables that were part of the first Work Program, led by partner CLA. This objective was reached, except for deliverable D.1.2.4, where the transnational interaction among partners learned that, prior to closing work on this deliverable, the option to also identify and evaluate the potential of roof-top photo-voltaic installations should be further optimized in order to successfully apply the GIS tool in The Netherlands, France, Ireland and Belgium.  \n\nIn this third period we also launched the second Work Program being coordinated by partner UT. We advanced well with identifying and engaging the pilot communities who will test the CIRCUS method and with developing the tools and documents supporting the implementation phase of the project (such as the selection criteria, the Pilot Identification Form template, the project charter and the implementation report template).\n\nIn summary we consider deliverables D.1.1.1, D.1.1.2, D.1.1.3, D.1.1.4, D.1.2.1, D.1.2.2, D.1.2.3, D.1.3.1, D.1.3.2, D.1.3.3, D.1.3.4, D1.4.1, D.1.4.2, D.1.4.3, D.1.4.4, D.1.5.1, D.1.6.1, D.1.6.2, D.1.6.3, D.2.1.1, D.2.1.2, D.2.2.1, D.2.2.2 as being completed, reaching an 88% completion rate (23 out of 26) of the deliverables that were due at the end of the third project period. Deliverable D.1.2.4. needs some more work as mentioned above. We have made substantial progress in identifying the pilot communities and in having them sign the project charter, however as we have not yet formally reached the required number of thirty, we do not consider D.2.1.3. and D.2.2.3 as being fully closed yet.\n\nOne of the highlights of this third period was the Project Partner Meeting organized on 26-28 May 2025 in Leuven (Belgium), where the project tools were evaluated and final suggestions were made to further improve them prior to have the pilot communities start using them as of the fourth period. \n\nThe CIRCUS Team also participated in the European Sustainable Energy Week (EUSEW), to display the project at the INTERREG stand as well as meet with representatives of other organizations such as REScoop towards supporting and developing new policy initiatives at an EU level. \nFinally, the team also started preparing the second CIRCUS Event which will be organized in Leuven (Belgium) on 9 and 11 October 2025 as well as the participation in the annual Interreg NWE Event in Luxembourg on 16 December. \n\nIn summary, we continue to catch-up on the delay faced during the launch of the project in Period 1 (01.01.24-30.06.24), now having 23 of 26 deliverables closed that were due by 31.07.2025 and aiming to deliver all 27 that will be due by 31.12.2025. \n","Nantes, Lochem, Cahersiveen, 'S-Hertogenbosch, Geel, Karlsruhe, Enschede, Cork, Redon, Leuven","FR, NL, IE, BE, DE",{"$nulls":5},11]
["NWE0300448","DigiHerb","Building digital and informatics innovation capacity of regional herbaria in NWE","To effectively tackle biodiversity issues, it is crucial to establish a robust foundation of biological data for comparison. Digitised herbarium collections are now being used to address important research questions on biodiversity issues across diverse disciplines, benefiting both science and societal needs. However, the knowledge on specimens is highly skewed towards large herbaria, which have resources to fully catalogue and digitise their collections. Thus, a common challenge is to mobilise biological data from smaller herbaria in the NWE region, which are often limited in resources and capacity. The project overall objective is to build innovation capacity in herbaria in NWE in the areas of digitisation and biodiversity informatics. The expected change is to improve digital access to collections at small herbaria in the NWE Programme area, leading to enhanced research and innovation capacities in small herbaria. The main output of the project is to establish a unified digital portal and data management system to facilitate access to collections in small herbaria, operating within a consortium framework. The portal will benefit many stakeholders, adding to national/regional Biodiversity Action Plans and EU Biodiversity Strategy Pillar \n\n3. The approach proposed is a pilot joint digitisation project between three small herbaria in NWE: Dublin, Karlsruhe and Ghent. The project will utilise a high-throughput conveyor-belt digitisation technology to digitise specimens, and create a unified digital portal for the digital contents. The transnational approach is essential as it develops a comprehensive understanding of biodiversity knowledge, which is best considered at a regional rather than a national level. Small herbaria often hold unique collections of great scientific and historical significance that cannot be found anywhere else. This project is the first in EU to unify transnational herbarium collections under a single digital portal and data management system.","2024-01-01","2025-06-30","(VI-B_NWE_4) Improving territorial resilience in NWE through innovative and smart transformation","RSO1.1.

These specimens are usually dried, pressed and mounted to a large sheet of paper and filed with relevant information such as:\n-\tDate of collection  \n-\tLocation the sample was collected \n-\tCollector\n-\tPlant species \n\nHerbaria across the globe have been working toward digitising their collections. Imaging and extracting the information from these preserved samples protects this data in the case of disaster by providing a digital backup. Digitisation also greatly increases the accessibility of this data, facilitating and promoting scientific research. Digitised herbarium sheets have been used to track climate and atmospheric changes over time as well as changes in plant distribution and flowering times. \n \nTo effectively tackle biodiversity issues a robust foundation of baseline data is vital. Herbaria are irreplaceable time capsules that provide a window to the natural world of the past. The worldwide drive toward digitisation has produced a skew toward larger herbaria as those with greater access to resources are first to digitise. This trend manifests as a gap in our baseline data, lacking collections from smaller herbaria which often contain unique collections of great scientific and cultural significance that specific to the region. \n\nDigiHerb has taken a major step toward addressing the skew of herbaria data originating from larger herbaria in the region. DigiHerb has seen the transnational collaboration of three smaller herbaria in North-West Europe to pool together expertise and digitise with the help of Interreg NWE and the ERDF. To develop a digitisation hub, DigiHerb has invested in state-of-the-art digitisation technology to increase the digitisation capacity in the region and increase the availability of herbaria data well past the official end of the project. Working with three diverse collections posed challenges to a mass digitisation project and close collaboration was required when advertising for tender and designing the digitisation hub. Lessons learned from small scale digitisation efforts at each partner herbarium proved crucial in informing the needs and requirements of the imaging platform. Shared expertise also streamlined troubleshooting when deviations to the plan occurred. \n\nThe DigiHerb project allowed each of the partners to dedicate employee time to the digitisation effort that would not have been feasible without Interreg backing. The majority of work in the digitisation process occurs before imaging as collections musty be curated, barcoded and repaired if necessary. Barcoding is a particularly labour intensive undertaking as each specimen must be recorded and given a unique identifier. The DigiHerb project facilitated the barcoding of over 365,000 samples across the three herbaria  \n\nThe DigiHerb project has been represented at the International Botanical conference in Madrid (July 21st – 27th 2024) with a poster presentation and talk at the Irish Plant Scientist Association Meeting in University College Cork (June 17th-18th 2024). Upon completion of the DigiHerb digitisation hub, it has been featured in in public and private tours at the National Botanic Gardens in Dublin  \n\nTo increase the accessibility of data and to combine datasets from across the region, the DigiHerb data portal has been established (https://digiherb.symbiota.org/). This portal allows the collections of all partner institutions to be searched and viewed in one place. The DigiHerb portal also allows functionality for citizen science through crowd sourcing label transcription. Additional herbaria in the region have expressed interest in adding their collections to the DigiHerb portal while four new institutions agreed to join the project as partners in an application made to InterregNWE call 5. \n\nOn the 27th of May 2025 the DigiHerb end of project conference was held in the National Botanic Gardens in Dublin. The event featured presentations by project partners highlighting key outputs of the project, and the importance of digitisation work to safeguard and improve the accessibility of data. Plans for future continuation beyond the official project end were outlined as digitisation continues at each partner institution.

["NWE0200311","GreenDense","Greening dense urban areas for enhanced climate resilience, biodiversity and health","NWE is experiencing rapidly increasing climate change impacts, high heat stress, air pollution, biodiversity loss, droughts and flooding. These effects are more pronounced in dense urban areas (often deprived, high traffic, extensive impermeable paving), which suffer from low green infrastructure (GI) to mitigate impacts. Due to limited space and competition between uses (parking, private ownership, recreation), citizen and business resistance, and lack of large infrastructure investments, dense urban areas are an underserved, challenging location to implement new GI. \n\nGreenDense pilots design, community engagement, and dense-specific mainstreaming mechanisms to introduce new GI in 6 challenging dense urban environments in 5 NWE countries (NL, BE, DE, IE, FR). It increases green coverage where needed most, with benefits for climate change resilience, natural environment, mental and physical health.\nSupported by 3 expert organisations in urban ecology and placemaking, the 6 cities pilot an innovative location-sensitive ‘mosaic’ approach to GI. A mosaic of small GI makes the most of limited space, increasing green connectivity. Multi-benefit, multi-use GI will be tailored to local needs and culture, with acceptance built via grassroots co-creation. In absence of large GI investments, the project harnesses related regulatory and policy agendas (health, active mobility, community, youth) to mainstream mosaic GI.\n\nTransnational partners jointly develop 6 pilots, strategies and action plans for co-creating GI mosaics in varied dense urban settings (heritage, deprived, commercial) with common climatic challenges, enriching solutions with shared expertise (Dordrecht; greening, Nantes; community engagement, STIPO; placemaking) unavailable at local level. The collective tools developed will drive scaling to 30 city areas, 5 other NWE cities, and (via training), 170+ NWE participants.

The initial phase of the project has laid a strong foundation for its objectives, with valuable insights gained.\n\nThe project commenced with the establishment of essential administrative procedures, ensuring a smooth start. An initial version of the work and deliverables plan for the first year was developed, outlining the project's key activities and expected outcomes. Additionally, the communication and dissemination strategy was co-developed during workshops in the kick-off meeting, focusing on how to effectively share project goals and achievements with stakeholders and the public. A kick off partner meeting was held in Dordrecht in March, and planning has commenced for the upcoming in person partner meetings (Brugge in September) and the 6-weekly online progress meetings have been planned (of which one has also already taken place on 6/6/2024).\n\nThe main achievement of the initial phase has been in terms of diagnosis of city challenges when implementing dense urban GI (A.1.1). During the kick-off meeting City Diagnosis workshop (D.1.1.3) held in Dordrecht, partners convened to review urban challenges and define pilot sites. This workshop, supported by TU Delft and Plante & Cite, facilitated a collaborative environment where cities benefited from the shared experience of local authorities and the expertise of the knowledge partners. TU Delft has also made significant progress developing a systems thinking approach to the urban greening challenges faced by NWE cities, and developed an accessible data analysis methodology (D.1.1.4) that can be disseminated to improve identification of in-need areas. Additionally, the partnership has begun to explore challenges in biodiversity and innovative planting, alongside challenges in terms of citizen participation, offering the benefits of joint experience to feed into knowledge partner analysis. \n\nBeyond the diagnosis work, some city partners (Brest Metropole, Dordrecht, Mechelen, Cork) have been frontrunners in launching initial work on their mosaic GI pilot sites, ensuring that lessons learned can be shared with the consortium. A major focus has been on community engagement, with co-creation processes allowing residents to actively participate in designing green spaces (A.2.3). For example, Dordrecht held a co-design workshop where residents used interactive tools to envision neighborhood changes, while Mechelen has involved citizens in planning new greening projects on narrow streets (A.2.3). This engagement fosters a sense of ownership and ensures that GI solutions reflect local needs.\n\nOn a transnational level, cooperation between project partners has been critical. Cities have exchanged knowledge and aligned efforts, e.g. Brest working closely with public stakeholders to advance its GI pilot and sharing best practices with other cities (A.2.3). These collaborative efforts help overcome technical and social challenges while enriching the partnership with shared expertise.\n\nThe project has made great progress during the second period. Cities are advancing with the planning of the GI mosaic sites which make up the four pilot pillars (cultural heritage, mobility, private spaces, deprived neighbourhoods).\n\nThe collaboration of the knowledge partners, STIPO, Plante & Cité, and TU Delft, has also been particularly strong, fostering a joint and aligned approach in tackling the activities and deliverables they are responsible for.\n\nA major highlight for the consortium as a whole was the partner meeting in Bruges, where in-depth discussions and knowledge exchange created a dynamic and productive atmosphere. The first successful Deep Dive session, organized by Bruges, offered participants the opportunity to visit local pilot sites and engage in hands-on discussions about policy planning, co-design, and implementation challenges.\n\nOn the communications front, solid groundwork has been laid with the development of the communication strategy, amplification plan, and branding pack, ensuring a strong and unified project identity. The project’s knowledge-sharing activities are also gaining momentum. STIPO led a webinar on state-of-the-art community engagement and participation techniques, sparking valuable discussions. Online progress meetings and preparations for the upcoming clinics have further reinforced collaboration. \nThe project has made significant progress during the third reporting period, with cities advancing in the development of their Green Infrastructure (GI) mosaic sites. These sites are central to the project and cover four key pillars: cultural heritage, mobility, private spaces, and deprived neighbourhoods. Each city has been actively working to integrate nature-based solutions into these areas, with tangible steps taken towards implementation. \n\nCollaboration between the knowledge partners, STIPO, Plante & Cité, and TU Delft, has been particularly strong, ensuring a unified approach to tackling key activities and deliverables. Regular online meetings and an in-person meeting in Paris allowed the knowledge partners to align their strategies, share expertise, and support the cities in delivering the project outcomes. The knowledge partners also closely collaborated with Cork in planning the sessions for the partner meeting to combine the site visits with their input and guidance.\n\nA major highlight for the consortium was the partner meeting in Cork (April 2-4), which created a dynamic and productive atmosphere for knowledge exchange. During this meeting, the partners explored various solutions and drew inspiration from a range of spaces within Cork City. Cork City’s medieval urban core served as an exciting example of how nature-based solutions can be applied in dense, historic areas. Over three days, the partnership engaged in workshops, design sprints and placemaking games, learning about tools and strategies to promote sustainable green practices. Visits to pilot sites, including North Main Street, Dean Street, and Fort Street, provided a hands-on opportunity to discuss greening strategies and community engagement approaches. A memorable moment was the Cork Harbour boat tour, which offered participants a chance to appreciate the city’s landscape from the water.\n\nOn the communications front, notable progress has been made. The GreenDense communication channels have been updated in a regular basis, as well as we have seen the partners sharing information about the project locally. Overall, these efforts showcase the added value of collaboration, as partners continue to learn from one another and strengthen their collective capacity to implement nature-based solutions across cities."," Amsterdam, Delft, Angers, Brest, Cork, Mechelen, Bruges, Bremen, Dordrecht","NL, FR, IE, BE, DE",{"$nulls":5},9]

This required the consortium to review the initial work plan, redistribute activities afford, and confirm the allocation of responsibilities to ensure continuity and efficiency in implementation.\n\nThe kick-off meeting played a central role in this process, serving as both a launch point and a platform for extensive discussions that helped define the project’s priorities. During the meeting, responsibilities were clearly divided among partners, providing clarity on leadership roles and contributions within each work package and activities. Training leaders presented their vision for the development of training materials, outlining potential structures and methods of delivery. These exchanges were instrumental in shaping the overall training approach and ensuring alignment with the project’s broader objectives. The kick-off meeting also marked the starting point for defining the profile of SMEs to be supported and the criteria for their selection. This dialogue has since been continued both within the consortium as a whole and among the individual training teams, with partners contributing knowledge of and connections to relevant SMEs in their networks.\n\nIn parallel, the consortium worked on the preparation and finalization of the communication strategy plan.

Activities spanned technical innovation, quality assurance, and community engagement across all work packages.\nWork Package 1 – Biomass Recovery and Valorisation\nUni Kassel created a regional biomass network mapping tool and refined biomass pre-treatment equipment. Their meta-analysis on grassland biochar effects contributed to cross-regional learning. UniLaSalle completed D1.2.2 on recovery processes and piloted biochar in Rennes: in a professional rugby field to assess soil retention and in street tree planting through a “Rain Tree” demonstrator. Protocols involved two local biochar producers, securing free materials and validation. Kiemkracht carried out comparative tree planting with biochar and continued developing the Schendelbeke biomass hub with ILVA. Enschede’s business case found local feedstock volumes insufficient, prompting exploration of grass as a more stable alternative. CDEC focused on biomass mapping with Luxinnovation and stakeholders to identify viable local sources such as vine cuttings and underutilised forestry materials, targeting urban applications.\nblinc land UniLasalle led the development and adoption of the Pilot Plan (1.4.1), structuring the biomass-to-biochar implementation in all partner regions. The pilot plan was formalised during the Dublin meeting and online workshops.\n\nWork Package 2 – Quality, Monitoring, and Integration\nUni Kassel led the development of the CASCADE Monitoring Handbook, a major output standardising quality control from biomass cultivation to biochar application. The handbook includes monitoring protocols for moisture levels, pyrolysis parameters, transport emissions, and biochar efficacy, using digital tools, lab tests, and stakeholder-defined responsibilities. blinc also co-developed the Good Practice Inventory with UniLaSalle to support peer learning across pilots. Their hybrid exhibition merges physical demonstrations with a virtual platform and showcases full process chains. Uni Kassel contributed to refining monitoring indicators and assessing impacts of urban/peri-urban biomass systems. They also explored the integration of biochar in wastewater treatment and biodiversity enhancement. UniLaSalle supported water purification trials with regional utility Eau du bassin Rennais using biochar as a local alternative to imported activated carbon. IrBEA helped Donegal stakeholders secure Horizon and Interreg funding for on-site biochar systems and explored a wide range of biomass sources, including seaweed, rhododendron, and gorse. CDEC advanced planning for biochar-based concrete and asphalt, engaging with industrial partners, but faced pilot delays due to inconsistent product quality and a slowdown in the construction sector.\nblinc and UniLaSalle co-developed the Good Practice Inventory, which:\n-\tCaptures successful biochar applications from partner regions.\n-\tMaps key process steps from biomass recovery to final applications.\n-\tProvides a knowledge-sharing tool for new adopters of circular carbon practices.\nThis database promotes peer learning and regional uptake of best practices.\nblinc developed an interactive exhibition format, linking physical demonstrations to a virtual platform.\n-\tConnected to the mobile demonstration unit at the TechLab in Eichenberg, enabling on-site learning.\n-\tThe virtual exhibition showcases case studies, process chains, and biochar applications, accessible remotely.\nThis evolving exhibition will serve as a long-term knowledge hub, highlighting regional innovations and scalable solutions.\n\nWork Package 3 – Capacity Building, Demonstration, and Engagement\nblinc started devloping the CASCADE Network Concept which will be completed based on the SNA deliverable (D112) in the next period. Their Citizen-Science Programme offered blended learning through TechLab visits, design-thinking workshops, roadshows, and a mobile app, engaging communities, professionals, and learners in co-creation and applied testing. They ensured strong visual and digital visibility via LinkedIn and online platforms.\nAll partners hosted workshops and learning modules. Uni Kassel improved the mobile demonstrator with interactive features. UniLasalle participated in regional bioeconomy events and involved students in urban green mapping and private garden surveys. IrBEA co-hosted a hands-on kiln workshop and promoted CASCADE at major events including the National Bioenergy Conference and Interreg NWE Annual Event. They also participated in EU working groups on biochar standards and carbon removals.

Jointly they will work on:\n1) Sustainably rewetting, restoring and preserving peatlands and shaping new landscapes to create buffers for carbon and water and increased biodiversity.\n2) Developing new or scaling up existing business models, to boost sustainability transitions in order to mitigate and adapt to climate change, while stimulating a sustainable local economy.\n3) Improving governance of peatlands by involving and engaging stakeholders from industry, academia, public authorities and citizens in decision-making processes and in taking responsibility for co-creation and scaling up of new found solutions.\n\nTo realise this, partners apply and test new approaches like water farming, payments for ecosystem services, nature-based solutions to rewet and improve water quality and forming new peat. Ahead of a sales ban on peat-based potting soil, peat-free substrates will be developed. Biomolecular and biodiversity monitoring and testing digital twinning will be part of the new approaches as well, while also sharing expertise on cooperatives, and applying bottom-up community approaches.","2023-07-01","2027-09-30","(VI-B_NWE_1) Smart climate and environmental resilience for NWE territories","RSO2.4.

Updates on project progress are shared through online partner meetings and website integration.\nSeveral BUFFER+ partners joined the Power to the Peatlands conference in Antwerp in September 2023 where they exchanged knowledge and ideas with the international peatland community.\n\nDuring the first BUFFER+ partner meeting in October 2023 the partners were introduced to the challenges and developments of Groeningen, the fen peatbelt around the city of Groningen, The Netherlands. On Wednesday, October 11, the BUFFER+ partners and several stakeholders left by bus to the peat areas 't Roegwold, the Onnerpolder and the Southern Westerkwartier to listen to and to discuss the plans for the peat meadow area, wet nature and peat restoration, collaboration through the Innovation workshop in Hellum and how nature development and water storage go well together. The municipalities, province and waterboards were involved, but also nature organisations and schools and universities spoke in the area about their work and the challenges that arise.\nNowadays peatlands are mainly used for farming. Groningen aims at water infiltration and wet crops in Groeningen and  explore the possibilities together with farmers. Westerkwartier and Hanzehogeschool cooperate on the Waterfarm as a new business model for peatlands.\n\nAt the same time the peat restoration activities in the pilot areas have begun. Partners are in contact with local farmers and other landusers of the peatlands, who provide with information about their business models and soil and water systems. Bioclear Earth gathered information from four pilot sites determining the optimal scope of soil sampling and the precise number of samples required. BeeOdiversity set up a BeeOmonitoring system in three out of four planned sites, involving collaboration with partners and local beekeepers. Sampling kits were dispatched to beekeepers, and the collection of pollen samples took place over specific periods. Data on pesticides, heavy metals, and biodiversity were processed and shared through an online system. The first two periods' results were presented to the BUFFER+ community. HAEDES reviewed literature on wet/peatland ecosystems and restoration, analyzing case studies to establish a framework for the Digital Twin approach for the Belgian pilots. They partnered with Natuurpunt to build a data inventory for Belgian pilots and designed communication tools to aid regional authorities in discussions with stakeholders.\n\nUoV focussed on developing and testing processes to initiate and develop business models for landowners of peatlands, as well as for enterprises, farmers, and forestry. Ökowerk develops peat substitutes for horticultural substrates together with HTCL, HSEL, AC3A, CRAPDL, Bioclear and UoV and on turning this into a business model in cooperation with stakeholders (e.g. plant substrate producers, gardeners, farmers).\n\nPartners were actively engaged in all project partners' meetings and contributed to discussions regarding the development of new regional governance models aimed at facilitating a policy transition in peatlands. They started their stakeholder analysis and governance models activities, securing access to mapping data and the future cooperation of key stakeholders.\nIn this reporting period the focus was on community engagement. During the partner meeting in Geel this was one of the main topics. But also in partner regions, e.g.many meetings with local stakeholders on the different restoration peat (meadow) pilots (WP1), working on new business models (WP2) and as part of the stakeholders analysis, governance modelling and innovation workplaces (WP3) there has been a lot of local involvement. Groningen partners organized dialogues focused on peatland transitions and conducted 4 expeditions involving farmers (young and established). and stakeholders in the value chain to gather essential insights on their perspectives on current and future scenarios. The UMR continued with the data collection and coordination for the stakeholder analysis and initiated a student’s project seminar on the topic of peatland protection and rewetting (as an inspiration event for young people).\n\nActivities on monitoring and digital twinning have also asked much attention and big steps were taken. Building on the experiences from the first reporting period, HAEDES, in close collaboration with the BUFFER+ partners, developed an initial rough version of a digital twin in the MIRAX program designed by HAEDES. In this first developing phase, collaboration was established with project partners from the province of West Flanders, with a particular focus on their project areas Beverhoutsveld and Romboutswervepolder. Through various meetings and in-depth discussions, the needs and wishes of the partners were identified. Additionally, the partners provided relevant information sources, such as data and maps. This information was then integrated into the MIRAX tool, which was further constructed. HAEDES presented the initial findings and progress at the partner meeting in Geel to the relevant/needed partners in this stage. During the two-day meeting, MIRAX was also introduced through bilateral discussions with other partners, including the province of Groningen in the Netherlands and AC3A in France. As a result, additional bilateral meetings where organised resulting in further development of the Digital Twin \nrespective project zones as designated through the partners.\n\nWith regard to BeeOmonitoring Period 2 focused on presenting and analyzing preliminary results from the 2023 monitoring of plant diversity and pollution at three pilot sites. A new BeeOmonitoring was successfully launched at a pilot site in Brittany. Training and preparation for new beekeepers were completed, and smaller kits for ongoing sites were distributed. Despite weather challenges impacting the first collecting period, progress continued, with pollen collected from Normandie, West Vlaanderen, and Groningen.\n\nGreat process was made regarding the development of peat substitute for plant substrates  Bioclear Earth contributed by sending molecular kits for soil sampling. Soil samples were collected from three different treatments: peat/peat-free substrate, reed/peat-free substrate, and autoclaved reed/peatfree substrate, all planted with Chinese cabbage. HTCL processed reed straw by hydrothermal carbonization (HTC). They used 20 kg of pelletized reed from Ökowerk Emden to produce 50 liters of wet HTC-Product (humidity about 60%), which is similar to black peat. This was back to Ökowerk Emden in order to perform further tests. A cress-test in Emden with the wet material revealed a negative influence of some volatile ingredients. With dried material the results were better.\n\nThe University of Vechta (UoV) designed a series of workshops aimed at entrepreneurs and stakeholders to explore and promote alternative uses of peatlands. These workshops are structured to provide a range of opportunities and insights for sustainable peatland utilization\n\nIn addition, communication plans for each of the WPs have been set up and discussed and regular online meetings were organised on WP and project level to dive deeper into certain delievrables or topics. The website has been updated regularly and so have the social media channels.\nWP1:\nRestoration activities took place in the pilot areas:\nNatuurpunt placed dipwells for groundwater level monitoring. VLM got approval for the Uitkerse Polder pilot area by Flemish government and started the measurements needed for the expropriation procedure and the technical design. ProvWF worked on riverbank adjustments to prevent flooding and improve water availability and a groundwater monitoring network was installed  to track water levels before and after interventions.\nProvGroningen started the digital twin together with the waterboard, municipality and Haedes. Bioclear earth started  soil sampling in the Roegwold nature reserve to assess how the duration of restoration influences microbial community assembly, soil health, and carbon fixation. BeeOdiversity collected and analyzed pollen from the pilot sites Normandy, WestVlaanderen, Groningen, and Brittany.\nSKDP made significant progress in terms of identifying a potential small pilot site as well as another large site on which we can develop a rewetting plan - returning the site from forestry back to its natural peatland state. This work has involved linking up with two crucial stakeholders in Udaras na Gaeltachta as well as Coillte and engaging with local community stakeholders in Forbart na Dromoda and the Waterville Anglers groups. Recently they have also engaged with Kerry County Council.\nTRT: the formation of strategic partnerships in the catchment was successful and TRT will now collaborate with Glenveagh National Park in County Donegal. \nCRAN: Beeomonitoring work has been carried out on the Grand Hazé marsh in the Orne department.\nThe BUFFER+ partners work on an interactive database for landowners and governments to restore and use peatlands, building on the C-toolbox from the Interreg Project ‘Carbon Connects’.\nHAEDES focused on the further development of the digital twin for the pilot zones in both West-Vlaanderen (BEL) and the province of Groningen (NL) and developed a draft manual for measurement, data management and digital twinning for peatland restoration/ conservation.\n\nWP2\n\nAnalysis of key stakeholders for the development of PES. \nCRAN had meetings with farmers to update them on their current farming practices and adaptations, and their willingness to participate on the construction of a PSE for peatlands. A sector sheet has been drawn up on the reed sector. CRAB identified 93 farmers in the target area, and prepared the content for a meeting to identify farmers interested in testing PES. At the end of this reporting period, at least 5 farmers wish to commit to the BUFFER+ project. CAPDL worked mainly on identifying the players to be brought together to build a PES on the Erdre marshes, including farmers, local authorities (EDENN) and scientists for monitoring purposes.\nThe 4 French BUFFER+ partners are pooling their efforts in 3 areas : the creation of a shared scientific advisory board for the 3 French pilot sites, the development of a common strategy for recruiting investors and their contribution to catalogues of alternative practices.\nProvWF interviewed farmers with interest in water cattle farming and organized a carbon symposium to raise awareness of carbon compensation and foster collaborations between local farmers and businesses.\nHanze, Westerkwartier and Midden-GR continued the expeditions in the agri-chain, drawing key conclusions and organizing a major stakeholder meeting.\nPP8: a verbal agreement with two peatland land owners was reached to provide their land and collaborate with the BUFFER+ project on a paludiculture pilot. A final selection will be made after further consultation with Mayo County Council and local agricultural advisors.\nPP2 analyzed the peat and substrate samples from Ökowerk’s experiment and conducted a microbial analysis as part of WP2. The experimental results were shared directly with Ökowerk and presented during the partner meeting in Emden.  PP19: In a greenhouse experiment Chinese cabbage performed well on a substrate containing composted marine flotsam indicating that this material could serve as a peat substitute. Pelleted composted flotsam was sent to HTCL for HTC processing. \nCAPDL finalized the lab analysis of all material samples. At present, the most difficult part is mixing the hydrochar with the other non-peat elements of the soil (clay beads, coconut fiber, etc.).\n\nWP3\nFocus is on learning and innovation, helping farmers adapt to changing conditions. Partners are intensifying communication efforts by highlighting the potential economic benefits of sustainable peatland management and tailoring the outreach strategies to the specific concerns of farmers. The University of Marburg worked on the stakeholder analyses and finished the data analyses. It also  organized a brainstorm on governance models.\nIn terms of communication and raising awareness: the partner meeting in Emden, the presentation at EUROSITE Annual Event and at the NWE meeting in Dublin created a lot of spin-off.","Emden, Lingen, Vechta, Sint-Andries (Brugge), Brussel, Destelbergen, Mechelen, ANGERS CEDEX 01, Rennes, CAEN Cedex 4, NANTES, Donabate, Cahersiveen, Marburg, Groningen, Hoogezand, Leek","DE, BE, FR, IE, NL",null,"Belgique/België (BE), Brugge\nÉire/Ireland (IE), , , , \n",null,null,null,21]

Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are common, and lead to life-affecting injuries, absenteeism and early retirement. Over 50% of caregivers (3,5 million NWE workers, Eurostat) complain about pain caused by MSDs; leading to millions of care-providing days lost. The total cost of MSDs for EU countries in lost productivity, treatment costs and early retirement is estimated at €300bn annually (EXSKALLERATE). Innovations capable of greatly offsetting the impact of MSDs do exist in the region, but there has been a reluctance throughout the care sector to implement such innovations into daily practice. While the scientific benefits are widely acknowledged, the societal opinion and behavioural interaction towards MSD-preventing technology has not been focused on by decision makers in the sector, resulting in a lack of awareness and appreciation amongst potential users. \n\nMSD-CARE will explore the challenge presented by MSDs and investigate soft barriers to innovative technology adoption required to tackle this growing NWE problem. To achieve this, partners will collaboratively host focus groups and trial events, the results of which will be analysed to assess potential applications on a regional and transnational level. The findings from these project activities will feed a comprehensive strategy, where members of the quadruple-helix will actively participate in shaping the long-term attitudes to MSD prevention amongst NWE caregivers. \n\nMSD-CARE will provide formal and informal caregivers with the necessary decision-making tools for wider adoption of MSD-preventing technologies and recommendations to overcome barriers.

["NWE0300447","CAMINO","Blueprinting Automated Mobility on-Demand Deployment for Sustainable Public Transport","Public Transport Authorities (PTAs) and Public Transport Operators (PTOs) in NWE have a growing obligation to provide sustainable, affordable and accessible public transport (PT) to meet the EU's mandate of a 90% reduction in emissions by \n\n2050. PTAs and PTOs are facing increasing challenges such as budget cuts, rising fuel costs, staff shortages and demographic inequalities in NWE. As a result, the provision of public transport is deteriorating, increasing car ownership and emissions in NWE to some of the highest levels in Europe (EUROSTAT, 2022). The introduction of Automated Mobility on Demand (AMoD) can improve PT offer by reducing costs and increasing accessibility, providing a sustainable alternative to private cars that could lead to a modal shift of up to 42% (McKinsey, 2023). However, PTAs and PTOs lack the know-how to plan for the sustainable implementation of AMoD in their public transport systems.\n\nCAMINO aims to facilitate the adoption of AMoD to improve PT and reduce car dependency and greenhouse gas emissions in NWE by helping PTAs and PTOs to define why, where, when and how to deploy AMoD to improve the sustainability of PT. The project will apply a new approach to developing long-term deployment strategies by assessing high-impact use cases, defining key milestones for long-term implementation, and preparing the collaborative foundations necessary for effective deployment.\n\nPTA Almere (NL), PTO De Lijn (BE) and the research centre ROSAS (CH) will jointly develop two strategies, 1 for PTAs and 1 for PTOs, which will provide the blueprint for the long-term integration of AMoD in PT in NWE.

The ageing of the population will increase the number of persons who need rehabilitation, while there is a shortage of healthcare staff. Currently, access to rehabilitation is uneven both between and within countries. Technology offers the possibility to provide efficient care and access to dedicated rehabilitation care regardless of the location of a patient. Different forms of rehabilitation therapy using virtual technologies are already taking place. However, these digital applications merely are used in a local setting and economies of scale are not exploited. Transnational cooperation is needed to reach these economies of scale, bringing the digital transformation of the rehabilitation sector to a next level. \nIn order to ensure equal access to rehabilitation care and foster the resilience of health systems, this project will make an important step forwards in the digitalization of the rehabilitation sector, being the first in building an open NWE virtual rehabilitation ‘clinic’, through which existing virtual rehabilitation therapies will be scaled up. 8 regional pilots (NL/DE/IR/LU), which act as showcases, will be implemented in which rehabilitation professionals in various healthcare settings integrate virtual rehabilitation in their daily practice.

Additionally, the variability of wind energy increases the need for energy storage and complementary methods. A multi-use (MU) approach, integrating wave, tidal, offshore solar, and energy storage into offshore wind farms, can optimize space, reduce storage needs, and improve energy reliability while easing spatial pressures.\n\nDespite the global development of many innovative Offshore Renewable Energy (ORE) technologies, wind farm developers, investors, and regulators hesitate to adopt them due to high costs, perceived risks, and the absence of a proven track record. As a result, only a small amount of these technologies make it to full-scale implementation.\n\nOffshore Proof [OP] addresses these barriers by accelerating the accreditation of offshore test sites following standards from the International Electrotechnical Commission System for Certification to Standards Relating to Equipment for Use in Renewable Energy Applications [IECRE]. This ensures that testing of ORE technologies will be quicker and more efficient and globally recognised. Standardized test services using harmonized protocols across 7 core competencies will fast-track technology certification, thus reduce costs and lower development risks, and increase export opportunities and thereby boosting investor confidence and accelerating the adoption of innovative ORE technologies.\n\nThe network of offshore test site providers in France, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Germany will execute 7 pilot actions, testing at least 4 emerging technologies.

["NWE0400548","PREWAPHARM","Prevent water pollution by pharmaceuticals","The presence of pharmaceutical residues in Northwest European water bodies is a growing concern, exacerbated by an ageing population and climate change. Up to 90% of orally administered pharmaceuticals, including antibiotics and hormones, enter water systems as active ecotoxic pollutants. Exposure to these residues is linked to abnormalities in aquatic life, the development of antibiotic resistance, and significant threats to human health. \n\nPREWAPHARM aims to address the issue of medicine residues through a strong collaboration of NWE experts from the healthcare and water sectors. A transnational strategy will be developed, aligning with the relevant policies of seven NWE countries and providing a framework for future joint efforts. Strategic guidelines will be translated into four comprehensive regional action plans (NL, BE, DE, LU) and three guiding documents (IE, CH, FR). \n\nTwo solutions - one focusing on medicine use and the other on wastewater treatment - will be jointly designed and developed to reduce pharmaceutical residues in water. These solutions will be integrated into regional action plans to enhance implementation and impact. The medicine use solution is a result of three transnational pilots aimed at promoting sustainable practices, such as greener prescriptions, appropriate drug delivery and disposal, and patient adherence. Meanwhile the wastewater treatment solution will be developed through four pilots utilizing advanced techniques at high-risk sites, including healthcare units and hospitals to remove pharmaceuticals at their source. \n\nAn NWE-wide knowledge centre with regional communities of practice will be established to ensure long-term impact through a collaborative ecosystem.

["NWE0100092","DeCarb-Pro","Decarbonise public procurement in NWE – account for the future","DeCarb-Pro aims at reducing CO2 emissions from procurement by local authorities (LAs). Public procurement has a key impact on CO2 emissions in NWE, 15% or 230 million tons CO (2020) are emitted mostly in the responsibility of LAs. Without decarbonising procurement, NWE-wide LAs are likely to miss the EU reduction goals 2030 and their needed contribution to the ambitions of the EU Green Deal. The most decisive reductions can be realised with procurement related to infrastructure, construction and energy. \nPublic procurement is dominated by prices. By using CO2 pricing in procurements, LAs demand from companies to compete for products and services with lowest emissions for the lowest price and lower the emissions. The strategy is rarely applied by NWE LAs, due to a lack of instruments and knowledge for standard procedures.\nThe partnership with LAs, energy agencies, city networks and market partners from all NWE countries will develop and apply a strategic approach for CO2 pricing and procurement for NWE wide use for large, medium-sized, and small LAs. The developed instruments will be tested and validated in pilot procurement projects in 3 sectors infrastructure, construction and energy. Pilot actions will lead to concrete emission reductions and will act as showcases for replication in other LAs. Training schemes will be developed and conducted for stakeholder’s capacity building. This will enable LAs to commit themselves and execute CO2 pricing in procurements and contribute to reducing their CO2 emissions.\nThroughout NWE LAs face the same procurement challenges. Transnational cooperation facilitates fast uptake in NWE countries: The partnership builds on frontrunning experience of Dutch and French PPs on local CO2 pricing, develop it for viable NWE-wide use, and thus, support the needed NWE-wide implementation. The city networks ensure uptake of results by NWE-wide mainstreaming instruments and standards, e.g. within the EU climate initiative Covenant of Mayors.","2023-07-01","2027-04-30","(VI-B_NWE_2) Smart and just energy transition","RSO2.1.

DeCarb-Pro aims at reducing CO2 emissions through developing a strategy for CO2 pricing and emission reduction in procurements of local authorities in North-west Europe in the infrastructure, construction and energy sector. To understand the full impact of the project for project partners and its relation to the plans, policies and structures in their organisations, period 1 was used to further explore the concepts of the project. Partners started to deepen their understanding of: \n-\tmethods and tools for CO2 pricing and CO2 emission reduction in procurement;\n-\tthe experiences within their own organisation with a form of these methods or tools;\n-\texisting policies at local and national level related to green procurement or CO2 monitoring and reduction;\n-\tand organisational and legislative barriers and opportunities for the implementation of these methods and tools. \n\nPeriod 1 was used for an initial exploration of project partners on the above through bilateral information exchange within the partnership, a partner meeting, presentations provided by project partners and the inventories of experiences with CO2 pricing in local procurement by individual partners. The various analyses, presentations and research by the partners provide a first exploration of carbon pricing and procurement practices across different regions and authorities within the DeCarb-Pro partnership.\nWork package 2 and 3 mainly focused on developing work plans that will guide partners to develop pilots and set up training courses in the coming periods, taking the local differences into account. Partners themselves invested in engaging relevant stakeholders in the project. Partners SEEA, the Green Metropole region and Agence du Climat (PP3, 7 & 12)identified authorities in their region with experience or interest in CO2 pricing or green procurement and contacted local authorities to explain the project and the possibility of joining in pilots or training schemes. The large authorities in DeCarb-Pro (the city of Amsterdam, Essen, Paris and Strasbourg – PP 4,5,6 & 9) disseminated the project concept amongst relevant departments within their organisations. They started exploring potential pilots, often building upon- and expanding existing experiences and methods within their organisations.\nTo further ensure meaningful stakeholder engagement in the project, a DeCarb-Pro communication strategy was developed as well as the first mandatory communication materials and publication of the project on websites, social media and news channels. \n\nA final highlight to be mentioned is the partnership building that took place in period 1. The partnership evolved from a group of organisations who had not all cooperated in the past, to a partnership in which partners were willing to guide each other, critically reflected together and started to cooperate on joint products. A notable example being foundation HIER (PP8) sharing their knowledge of the CO2 performance ladder in individual webinars with a variety of partners and LAs in their networks, guiding them on whether the tool is of interest to them. The project management team also played a part to achieve this, by organizing a partner meeting together with the Green Metropole Region (PP7) focusing on relationship building, as well as providing support and guidance on regulations of the programme, guidance in starting their activities, planning of the workplans and reporting in JEMS. \n\nThe DeCarb-Pro project is dedicated to reducing CO2 emissions by developing a strategy for CO2 pricing and emission reduction within public procurement in the infrastructure, construction, and energy sectors of North-West Europe. Collaboration among project partners is fundamental to achieve this objective, with efforts in period 2 focusing on laying the groundwork for a comprehensive strategy that will not only guide the project's action plans and pilots but also inspire other local authorities to adopt similar CO2 reduction measures in their procurement processes.\n\nDuring period 2, all partners cooperated to produce 3 analysis reports that will inform the DeCarb-Pro strategy. These reports addressed key aspects such as CO2 pricing experiences and opportunities in local procurement (D.1.1.1), CO2 monitoring standards and instruments (D.1.1.2), and administrative and legislative barriers (D.1.1.3). Additionally, the partnership developed a framework outlining the specific needs of local authorities (D.1.2.1), identifying the essential components to be included when integrating carbon pricing into public procurement. These four studies laid the foundation for the draft DeCarb-Pro strategy framework (D.1.4.1), which will be refined through ongoing learning and reflection in period 3.\n\nThe 4 studies were developed by analysing the results of a survey and in-depth interviews with partners and local authorities. All partners cooperated in the development of the documents through working sessions, both online and in the partner meeting in Paris, in which they shared insights and critical feedback. \nIn period 2, partners organized numerous meetings and exchanges with relevant stakeholders within their organisations or their networks. This engagement with relevant colleagues, departments and organisations proofed instrumental for several key processes in the project.  Partners gathered information on experiences and processes within their organizations or networks to inform the analyses in work package 1. All these exchanges also contributed to relationship building between staff of various departments and organisations. They also gave insight in the strategies, needs, and barriers related to CO2 reduction in procurement, which was key to developing the pilot projects in period 2. Partners used these exchanges to explain, motivate, and involve various stakeholders within their respective municipalities or networks. Several partners also engaged private sector stakeholders, to assess their needs and constraints and ensure feasibility of the methods and tools to be piloted.\nPeriod 2 saw significant progress in the development of pilots, with 21 pilot projects being identified by 8 project partners, of which 5 pilots already started. Peer-to-peer guidance in working group sessions helped partners to improve their pilot plans and share learnings. The pilots aim to test various methods and tools for CO2 reduction in procurement, as well as to demonstrate the opportunities and challenges associated with implementing CO2 reduction strategies. \n\nA highlight from period 2 was the active partnership building among the project partners. The partnership was marked by peer-to-peer guidance, the sharing of experiences, and collective thinking in the development of project deliverables. Open and critical discussions between all partners regarding e.g. the strategic direction of the project in the Paris partner meeting exemplified this collaborative approach. Also the work in work package 3, which in period 2 mainly focused on laying the groundworks for future capacity development trajectories, was the result of a joint analysis. Partners steered the direction for the work package by not only sharing their priority learning needs, but also sharing what knowledge and experience they have on offer for trainings of local authorities.  \n\nThese collaborative efforts have driven the project forward and have laid the foundation for the start of pilot projects and the development of a comprehensive CO2 reduction strategy for public procurement in period 3. \nIn Period 3, the DeCarb-Pro project made steady progress in promoting CO2 pricing and towards introducing it to procurement processes across North-West Europe.\nIn period 3, co-creation and joint development took flight in the implementation of activities and development of deliverables for the project. A prominent example was the joint development of a key document that will be at the core of the remainder of the project; the strategic approach for integrating carbon pricing and emission reduction into local authorities’ procurement processes. The strategy builds on project deliverables, joint analysis and insights from experience of local authorities. It is structured around four pillars: a foundational level, policy development, project planning, and tendering. The strategy followed the consensus established in period 2; an expanded scope beyond tendering to include all procurement stages, maximizing CO2 reduction opportunities of introducing CO2 pricing. To support municipalities new to CO2 pricing, a foundational level was introduced. The strategy also informed the development of draft action plans, which will be refined based on ongoing pilot experiences, stakeholder engagement, and training sessions.\nIn work package 2, first steps were made to introduce CO2 pricing and reduction in procurement through pilots in large, medium, and small municipalities. Partners regularly exchanged experience and findings from the pilots. Both the first pilot findings and the analyses in WP1 showed that CO2 pricing methods must be tailored to factors such as sectors, existing procurement processes, experience with CO2 reduction and municipality size. \nLarge municipalities focused on integrating carbon criteria into procurement, while medium and small authorities prioritized awareness-raising and capacity-building. Early findings suggest that successful implementation requires both technical solutions, internal commitment and political support (internal and national). Furthermore, a monitoring and evaluation framework was developed for WP2 to capture pilot results, ensuring insights feed into the broader DeCarb-Pro strategy.\nWork Package 3 focused on developing an implementation plan for training sessions, ensuring alignment with the WP1 strategy. The training concepts, plans, and materials were the result of a joint effort by partners. Although WP3 is in the planning phase, partners recognized the value of early engagement, bringing the planned start of trainings sessions forward to 2025 rather than 2026.\nThe project also intensified its communication and engagement activities, increasing online updates, publishing articles, and presenting at events. A key focus was continued stakeholder involvement, ensuring that local authorities' needs shaped the strategy and communication materials. For instance, by the creation of accessible basic communication material. Moving forward, the project will focus on wider dissemination, in international events and a mid-term event to accelerate adoption of CO2 reduction in procurement.\nCollaboration across all work packages increased, with partners engaging in weekly meetings to jointly develop deliverables, share insights and progress. The interactive partner meeting in Essen further strengthened the co-creation process, facilitating knowledge exchange.\nLooking ahead, the project is transitioning towards more integration in its work, where insights and activities in one work package inform the others. As insights continue to be gathered, we expect to further improve the draft strategic approach. We aim to refine the steps in the strategy and action plans by increasing our understanding of what is effective and what is not, for instance the merits of a broader scope in the procurement process. Finally, we will deepen our understanding in transition processes and the technical concepts associated with carbon pricing. \n\nAll these efforts mark the first steps toward the project’s objective: enabling local authorities in North-West Europe to reduce CO2 emissions and improving energy efficiency in procurement within the key sectors of infrastructure, construction, and energy.\nIn Period 4, the DeCarb-Pro project continued its efforts to advocate for the inclusion of CO2 pricing in procurement. \nAs highlighted in Period 3, the partners are developing an in-depth DeCarb-Pro strategy that aims to serve as a practical guide for local authorities to integrate carbon pricing and emission reduction into their procurement processes. During this period, significant work was devoted to refining and enhancing the comprehensive flow diagram underpinning the strategic approach. The diagram underwent a thorough review, which led to several adjustments designed to create more consistent pathways that address the diverse needs of end-users. This collaborative effort ensured that the diagram not only anticipates potential challenges but also provides actionable insights for local authorities starting to introduce CO2 pricing. In the upcoming period, the strategy will be further enriched with detailed steps based on the experience and expertise of project partners, who are increasingly drawing on lessons and insights gained from the pilot projects.\nThe project is now entering a stage where cross-connections between the three work packages are becoming more prominent. Learnings and deliverables from one work package are feeding into others in an iterative process. For example, an interim evaluation of the pilot projects in small, medium, and large local authorities has already contributed to the strategy document and will inform the future training programmes in WP3. Similarly, reflection on lessons learned has informed the action plans of pilots developed in Work Package 1, with all pilot partners updating their action plans using the Plan-Do-Check-Act methodology. \nDeCarb-Pro started sharing the progress of the project and its learnings in DeCarb-Pro videos based on interviews conducted during the partner meeting in Kilkenny, which have been widely disseminated across NWE countries. Furthermore, preparations were made to share insights on CO2 pricing in procurement at three events: the Strasbourg Energy Conference, the Climate Alliance International Conference in Cologne, and the project’s mid-term event in September 2025. This reflects a growing trend of external engagement that is expected to continue in future periods.\nOverall, the project is satisfied with the progress achieved so far, particularly the strong emphasis on learning, sharing, and critical reflection. By doing so, the project continues to advance its overarching objective: enabling local authorities in North-West Europe to reduce CO2 emissions and improve energy efficiency in procurement across key sectors such as infrastructure, construction, and energy.\n\n","Strasbourg, Brussels, Wiesbaden, Utrecht, Elst, Paris, Essen, Amsterdam, Kilkenny, Frankfurt am Main, Arnhem","FR, BE, DE, NL, IE",{"$nulls":5},12]

This included:\n-\tPreparing and submitting project report 1 (PR 1) on 30 September 2024;\n-\tCoordinating  the third project working group meeting (19-21 November 2024, The Netherlands);\n-\tCoordinating the project steering group meeting in The Netherlands on 21 November;\n-\tRecruiting two positions as project coordinator and communication officer;\n-\tUpdating the project website and ensuring coverage of project activities in various media.\n\nTwo new colleagues, Lisa Schiferle and Étienne Roeder, were hired as project coordinator and communication manager on behalf of the lead partner. They joined on 1 October and 1 September, respectively, and took part in the project activities, e.g. the third partner meeting in November 2024. Throughout the first couple of months, they were involved in intensive onboarding work to introduce them to both the project in general and their specific tasks as project coordinator and communication manager, respectively. \n\nUp to and including period 3, work on all packages progressed well, and the project is starting to really gain momentum. Highlight of period 3 was the partner meeting in Switzerland in June, which again proved an excellent opportunity for the partners to meet and share knowledge in several work sessions related to the various activities. Both before and after the partner meeting, several online meetings took place between the partners to keep working on the project, which proved to be highly fruitful and productive. \n\nAs part of WP 1, good progress was being made in the field of aquathermia, i.e. heat recovery both before and after treatment. The Dutch, Belgian and German partners have so far collaborated closely on the basis of both past and current initiatives (such as the Dutch Aquathermia stakeholders network) to find and develop ways to better identify the heat potentials of sewer systems. They were able to define methodological approaches for creating useful heat potential maps. Several studies have been completed or procured to further assess such heat potentials. These include a study on the potential risks of heat transfer fluids and their environmental impact and a study on the hydrological impact of heat exchangers placed in the sewers.\n\nSimilarly, the French and German partners collaborated very well in establishing the theoretical groundwork for identifying renewable energy potential at water/wastewater infrastructures in rural and urban areas. The work was being finalised and will provide valuable tools for selecting suitable sites for renewable energy facilities. \n\nCommunication continued to play an important role in the project and the website was updated as key element of project communication. The next steps were conceptually developed such as a 2 minute explainer video about ResNRJwater.\n\nNot least as a result of the preparatory work in WP 1, the partners were able to progress with their pilot investments, be it by choosing suitable locations, seeking permits, or preparing and finalising their tenders as part of WP2, which will see the construction of actual pilot plants. They shared their insights and discussed current challenges at the Swiss partner meeting in June.\n\nWP3, which is aimed at training and capacity building,  also progressed well. The German and Swiss partners collaborated closely and conducted a survey on gaps and needs in capacity building, which produced valuable insights. These were shared and discussed at the Swiss partner meeting and now form the basis for the capacity building concept and the development of training materials, which will help disseminate the project results among experts and trainees alike.\n\nOverall, the project is making good progress and is starting to produce tangible results, which is very motivating for everyone involved.\n\nAs lead partner, LV continued ensuring overall project management in period 3. This included:\n- Liaising with the PPs on partner-specific issues for the implementation of the project work;\n- Preparing and submitting project report 2 (PR 2) on 28 March 2025;\n- Liaising with the JS and the PPs to carry out the verification phase of PR2 (finished on 9 May 2025);\n- Calculating and transferring the ERDF payment to the PPs;\n- Coordinating the preparation and implementation of fourth project working group meeting with InfraWatt (3-5 June 2025, Arbon/CH);\n- Coordinating the preparation and implementation of fourth project steering group meeting with InfraWatt (5 June 2025, Arbon/CH);\n- Starting the preparation of the 5th partner meeting in Galway (18-19 November 2025) and 6th partner meeting in Antwerpen (19-21 May 2026)\n- Ensuring the implementation of the communication strategy together with the project partners, with a particular focus on supporting PPs to meet their mandatory\nrequirements, updating the project website, producing further videos and ensuring media coverage of project activities in various media.","Galway, Yverdon-les-Bains, Bottrop, Orvault, Essen, Aartselaar, Heerhugowaard, Dortmund","IE, CH, DE, FR, BE, NL",null,"Deutschland (DE), defined in WP1, defined in WP1, defined in WP1, defined in WP1\nNederland (NL), Zaandam, Poelenburg , 467, 1504NX\n",null,null,null,9]

Yet the availability of land is finite. This imbalance is unsustainable.” Fortunately, cities have a lot of unused space on flat and slanted roofs. MultiRoofs is about identifying how we can make the most out of this space by utilising it multifunctionally. \n\nSpace on rooftops can be used as a sustainable solution that increases territorial resilience and improve the livelihood of its communities. We distinguish several type of roofs: 'yellow roofs' produce renewable energy, 'green roofs' lower temperatures, add biodiversity and improve air quality; 'blue roofs' equip cities and water bodies to combat pollution and mitigate the effects of extreme weather; 'purple roofs' add space for living and working, 'red roofs' for meeting spaces and sports, 'orange roofs' for transportation; and 'grey roofs' for utilities. Combining functions create 'golden combinations', in which positive effects are amplified. \n\nWe need to innovate transnationally to achieve multifunctional roofscapes in our cities, create scalability of benefits and minimise fragmentation of innovation capacities. In this process we connect public authorities, property owners, businesses, (technical) experts, interest groups and research organisations to jointly fast-track multifunctional utilisation of rooftops. We develop strategies, implement pilot actions in the urban regions of project partners and deliver capacity building programs that allow public authorities to set this ecosystem into motion. We create, validate and scale (1) a digital twin tool for public authorities to determine what is desirable on rooftops, (2) approaches to identify property owners that are susceptible to utilise their roofs multifunctionally and (3) financial incentives to influence property owners to utilise their rooftops multifunctionally.\n\nMultiRoofs promotes a green, smart and just transition for the NWE region. It combats environmental degradation and the harmful effects of climate change. We ensure a balanced development and make regions more resilient by following the principles of the New European Bauhaus and make the objective of “no net land take” by 2050 achievable for our urban areas.","2025-01-01","2029-06-30","(VI-B_NWE_4) Improving territorial resilience in NWE through innovative and smart transformation","RSO1.1.

["NWE0200194","MigFoRest","Assisted Migration to increase Forest resilience in NWE","Humanity largely depends on the ecosystem services provided by forests, that needs to be protected from the increasing disturbances caused by climate change. Forests represent significant proportion of NWE lands: BE \n\n22.6%; FR \n\n27.1%; NL \n\n8.9%; DE 32%. Currently, 60% of forest land of NWE is covered with the tree species most sensitive to climate change (beech, spruce, oak, etc.) and there is increasing evidence of dieback of these species.\n\nAs outlined in the \"EU Forest Strategy 2030\" published by the European Commission (July 2021), assisted migration (AM) is an effective way of strengthening our forest systems and their resilience to future changes. This solution involves speeding up the migration of trees from the south of Europe, in a context of global warming. \n\nIndeed, the climate has always changed and both animal and plant species have adjusted to these changes by migrating to the North or South as the climate has warmed or cooled. Today, however, changes to the climate are happening far too rapidly to enable species of tree to migrate sufficiently quickly. This means there is a risk of seeing whole populations of trees disappear in their native region because the climate no longer suits them.\n\nIn this instance, the role of foresters will be to imitate nature and speed up their work by artificially accelerating the speed at which trees can migrate. This is called assisted migration (AM) and it is one of several solutions that is privileged to anticipate the effect of climate change on our forests.\n\nThe project aims to deploy assisted migration of tree species at the scale of the NWE territory, for better anticipation of climate change and improved resilience of the forest ecosystem in a cross-border approach, by integrating the concept of functional complex network to increase tree genetic and species diversity. We don't have to wait that the trees planted are adults to pursue AM: the project isn't an experimentation, we ambition to show how to do it in NWE territories, taking advantage of the similarity of the climate of the partner's countries.\n\nThe results of the project will be : \n- the development of a common strategy for implementing AM in NWE (except Ireland, due to a climate that is different than the other NWE's areas)\n- the identification of the tree species concerned, including analysis of their biological potential and invasiveness\n- the implementation of a joint genetic analysis of source and recipient tree populations\n- the deployment of the AM in 5 territories in different NWE regions, including the planting of at least 100,000 trees\n- the creation of 3 seed orchards to supply forest managers in the future\n- the development of tailor-made awareness-raising and training material for target audiences: public authorities, forest owners, nursery men and the general public.\n\nThe partners will develop joint responses to a problem that transcends the borders of our countries, drawing on the results of local experience and providing solutions to strengthen the resilience of our forests. The partner countries share the same type of climate (Maritime North), making it all the more relevant to tackle the issue at this level.","2024-01-01","2028-06-30","(VI-B_NWE_1) Smart climate and environmental resilience for NWE territories","RSO2.4.

["NWE0300402","REFOOT","Retracing the Footsteps: A Transnational Journey of Canadian Liberation in WWII","REFOOT is a transnational project that will create the first hiking trail retracing the footsteps of Canadian soldiers who liberated Europe during World War II. The project seeks to promote sustainable tourism and preserve historical memory while contributing to the development of a more inclusive society in the NWE area.\nWWII is one of the most significant and devastating events in human history. With the 80th anniversary of the Liberation of Europe approaching, it is essential to ensure that its memory is preserved and passed down to future generations. Canada's role in the liberation of Europe has long been underexposed. As the first transnational trail dedicated to telling the story of the Canadian liberation, we will tell for the first time about Canadian story and connect all these sites/stories at a European level. As a lot of nationalities were involved with the Canadian Army, we will be able to have a mutliperspective approach to enhance the transnational cooperation. REFOOT will link all the regions liberated by the Canadians, from France to Germany. By retracing their steps, the objective is to continue raising awareness about WW2 memory, fostering cultural understanding and remembrance. In the end the trail will be sustainable and a tangible connection of sites, museums and cities. The main output will be the establishment of a transnational hiking trail. By combining historical content, vectors of memory, and sustainable tourism practices, we create a unique and immersive experience that connects the past with the present and strengthens the ties between Canada and NWE through shared history and cultural exchange. WW2 sector, local communities, visitors, youth and the tourism industry will benefit from this project as it enhances cultural tourism, promotes economic development, and fosters social inclusion. It is a joint pilot action to which local, regional, provincial and national initiatives can later also hook up for additional depth in their areas.","2024-01-01","2025-06-30","(VI-B_NWE_5) Transition towards a socially inclusive and resilient society","RSO4.6.

All partners have followed the REFOOT project plan to ensure that timelines, milestones and deliverables are met. Following the Interreg NWE event in February in Lille, we held the first project meeting (Kick off event), in person in Knokke-Heist, Belgium. All project partners attended and it was hosted by our Belgian partner, For Freedom Museum (FFM). A follow up meeting was held online two months later to check on progress among the partners with their own tasks, with additional one-to-one meetings and regular emails and phone calls throughout Period 1 as we all worked on the project activities and deliverables.\n\nRegarding the creation of historical content that will narrate the story along the hiking trail itinerary, the consortium discussed the relevant historical sites and stories in each project country (France, Germany, Netherlands and Belgium). Partners suggested which ones should be included in the project, and historians as well as associated partner Juno Beach Centre Association were also involved in defining the list of content to create. The consortium also agreed on the contribution each partner can make regarding writing the content and sourcing media to accompany it (photos, videos). This enabled the partners to collaboratively draw up a draft list of 200 potential items of content, noting their topic and location. This forms a starting point for the sites and stories that the route will include. The next step will be confirming the exact ones to be used and the coordination and writing of the content by the partners and historians. Additionally, to link the content list to the definition of itinerary using existing hiking trails, the consortium discussed and researched existing hiking routes in their country and shared these resources with each other to ensure that the locations are feasible in a trail and to understand which ones we may need to adjust at the next step.\n\nThe progress made on the definition of the historical content and trails is the first steps towards the project’s special objective: raising awareness of WW2 history with a comprehensive and cohesive historical narrative of the Canadian involvement in the liberation of Europe. \nThis period also involved important work on Communication. We cooperated on the creation of a communication strategy for the project, including some communication material resources for the partners The consortium agreed on the communication channels available to use for each partner, and how each one will play their role in communication and dissemination of the project. As part of this, the partners all shared key communication materials with each other (photos, information texts, social media channels and contacts). Additionally, we created a page on the official Interreg NWE website about the project and its partners, and each partner added more detailed page on their own website that is the primary source of information on the project. Project updates and press releases were published on the LREF website and social channels and share by partners.\n\nThe initial steps made in communications in this Period are key in achieving the special communication objective of raising awareness and knowledge among the target audience about the Canadian involvement in the liberation of Europe. The communication strategy developed will be instrumental in achieving this objective, and the communications already made via the project channels have already started to increase this awareness.\n\nThe work done by the consortium in this Period also contributes to REFOOT’s outputs: a transnational hiking trail about Canadian history, and a solution for enhancing visitor experience. Although the main work to achieve these objectives will be done in the next periods, the first steps made in this period set the basis for this.\nIn this Period the main achievements of the consortium include: definition and creation of the route (including digital data) for the hiking trails itinerary, creating a map showing the future locations of the Vectors of Memory, and creating communication materials for the project. Additionally, the writing of the first historical content by historians and partners begun ahead of Period 3.​\n\nWe made progress in Activity 1.1 – Development of the itinerary, completing the two deliverables: D.1.1.1 Detailed map of the route and D.1.1.2 Digital data of the route. For D.1.1.1, cooperation was key in defining the trails route, based on the mapping of relevant historical points of interest created collectively by the consortium in Period 1. Partners and our Associated Partner JBC Association contributed their suggestions of the historical trail taken by the Canadian forces during the Second World War in their region/country, and our Associated partners (national and regional hiking organisations) contributed to make sure the trail selected is safe and useable for hikers. For deliverable D.1.1.2, we also collaborated with the hiking federations to obtain and/or verify the digital GPX data for the route to ensure its accuracy, whilst partners shared any local/national hiking maps/resources they have. The combined knowledge of partners and Associated Partners, regarding historical expertise and hiking trails/digital data expertise, made this work possible.\n\nWe also made progress in Activity 1.2 – Historical contents, ahead of the deliverable due in Period 3. As Lead Partner, we initiated the first items of historical content to be created by our partners and historians. The creation of historical content and associated media is time consuming, therefore we reminded the partners of the process of historical content writing and began this part of the project in Period 2. We also worked with JBC Association for this as they provide expertise and archive materials (texts and photos) for the content creation in Normandy.\n\nRegarding production of Vectors of Memory, we delivered D.1.3.1 Layout plan of installation, a map showing the planned location of Vectors in each country along the trail. Partners (and JBC Association) provided a list of recommended locations for the Vectors in their country/region, and each partner was granted an amount of Vectors of Memory to define on the trail map in their own country. This allowed us to create the map to ensure a clear outline of the locations allocated to the Vectors of Memory that will be produced in the project. Partner cooperation is important as we needed to know the most appropriate place to allocate Vectors, as well as the locations of any existing Vectors in each country.\n\nRegarding communication of the project, we developed a range of high-quality communication materials to ensure the promotion of the project results. Engaging content which was shared on partners' social medias, news channels and  websites which is essential for raising awareness of the public to the project.\n\nThe achievements in this Period are important as they further the specific project objective: to raise awareness of WW2 history and establish a comprehensive and cohesive historical narrative of the Canadian involvement in the liberation of Europe. This objective involves the creation of the unified itinerary, the development of historical content, and the inclusion of appropriate visual elements, all of which have been progressed in Period 2 through the deliverables completed.\n\nAdditionally, the communication objective of this project is to increase awareness and knowledge among the target audience. Whilst this will be done further in Period 3 of the project, on completion of the trail, the efforts to communicate about the project in Period 2 already support this objective as they have increased awareness of the topic via project communication (websites, social media, newsletters etc).\nabout the Canadian involvement in the liberation of Europe.\n\nCoordination and cooperation among the consortium in this Period was done via online meetings, phone calls and email exchanges both bilaterally and as a consortium.","Knokke-Heist, Courseulles sur Mer, Caen, Arnhem","BE, FR, NL",{"$nulls":5},4]
["NWE0200212","ECHT","Enable Digital Product Passports with Chemicals Traceability for a Circular Economy","The Green Deal transition towards a climate-neutral, resource-preserving and non-toxic Circular Economy (CE) creates new challenges for businesses. The EU Textiles Strategy aims to tackle the high waste generation vs. low recycling rates and negative environmental and social impacts throughout the whole life-cycle. Textile clothing and flooring will become the 1st product group subjected to Sustainable Product Policies (Ecodesign incl. Digital Product Passport).\nThese policies imply value chain actors having access to detailed product information incl. material compositions. Thus, traceability of chemicals in materials is a key enabler for the CE, i.e. developing circular products and business models. Volatility, complexity and established supply chain structures, however, make it difficult for companies to know the chemicals contained in their products. This is where ECHT comes in with an innovative and future-oriented approach: The project highlights the opportunities that a coordinated and cross-border implementation of the Digital Product Passport brings.\nMany textile firms are situated in NWE, most of these however are micros (89%) and SMEs. ECHT will empower actors of the textile circular value chains to implement chemical traceability, thereby increasing networks, innovation and competitiveness. To maximise its outreach, ECHT will be technology neutral, i.e. not bound to specific IT solutions. \nECHT develops and implements the first traceability strategy with 3 action plans for actors of textile (1) clothing and (2) flooring value chains as well as for (3) policymakers at different levels. \nThe action plans will draw from the learnings of innovative training schemes (capacity building). Results from the trainings and the insights gained in developing, testing and disseminating practical solutions are upscaled into a Knowledge Platform to support SME´s of the textile and other sectors “beyond pure compliance” towards innovative business models.","2024-01-01","2026-12-31","(VI-B_NWE_3) Transition towards a place-based circular economy","RSO2.6.

The first highlight is the successful kick-off workshop that took place on March 18th, 2024 in the Frankfurt Airport Conference Center (see also Deliverable D.1.1.2 “Brief report on project kick-off”). Here the ECHT consortium (both project partners and associated organisations) agreed upon an open and constructive mode of work, assigned certain roles and responsibilities to groups and individuals and established an overall structure of the project and processes in the project (e.g. a regular monthly meeting with the project steering group). \n\nIn line with these internal organisational aspects, ECHT set up a technical infrastructure for the project (nextcloud, LinkedIn-Account) with rules and responsibilities to work efficiently. Throughout the first reporting period several additional associated organisations were acquired such as the NGO “ClientEarth” and the SME label “Blutsgeschwister”, which broaden the impact and depth of the project. Additional bilateral contacts to other representatives of the value chains and related NGOs further widened the network of ECHT.\n\nLed by project partner LIST a comprehensive communication strategy was developed (Deliverable D.1.1.1). \n\nFrom a content-related point of view, ECHT made substantial progress especially regarding the transnational traceability strategy. During a series of three workshops (2x onsite, 1x online) and extensive work packages between these workshops, a transdisciplinary project group (consisting of project partners and associated organisations) went through a “scenario process” in which a number of important steps towards a traceability strategy were made: (1) The group agreed upon a specific definition of the scope and key aspects for the project and (2) identified 16 influencing factors that affect this system (see also Deliverable D.1.2.2 “Glossary of influencing factors”). Based on this, the project group elaborated on (3) future developments of these influencing factors (so-called “projections”). After several steps of comprehensive analytical and co-creative work, the group formulated and agreed upon two realistic and plausible future scenarios for the traceability of chemicals in global textile value chains in 2040. One representing a more conservative development in a business-as-usual manner and the other illustrating a progressive “boldly-ahead” scenario. The heterogenic group unanimously agreed to work towards the progressive and explicitly against the conservative scenario in the ECHT project.  \n\nOverall, the fact that a diverse group of representatives from global textile value chains and related NGOs were able to develop and agree on specific scenarios, and to openly formulate the goal of working together towards one of them, is a very important achievement of this project. It does not come naturally for industry partners to join such a process in a constructive and open mode of work, discussing critical aspects of traceability together with potential competitors or critiques (such as NGOs). However, the project group managed to form trustful collaborations and a team spirit that is necessary to develop the results aimed for in this project.\n\nThe first results illustrated in this project report are proof of this fruitful and constructive working atmosphere.\n\nAfter two reporting periods, the project made significant progress in line with the overall project plan and co-created by a consortium of project partners and a constantly increasing number of associated organisations. One of the most crucial overarching achievements so far is the successful establishment of an efficient, effective and open working consortium that is able to address relevant issues constructively and acknowledges the perspectives and needs of all individuals and organisations involved.\n\nBased on this mode of work (initiated by a kick-off meeting (D.1.1.1) and an effective communication strategy (D.1.1.2), the project was able to finalise\n\n-\tthe transnational Traceability Strategy consisting of a scenario story as the narrative for the shared vision (D.1.2.1), \n-\ta related glossary of influencing factors (D.1.2.2)\n-\tand most recently a Theory of Change including a system of roadmaps helping to navigate the further process (D.1.2.3). \n\nThese and other outputs are regularly shared both with the consortium as well as with a growing network of external parties via an active LinkedIn Account, a project newsletter and an official project website. All these achievements are major prerequisites for reaching the first project specific objective. \n\nFurthermore, the second project specific objective has been addressed by further extending the deep understanding of potential challenges and opportunities through the co-creative and iterative development of both the scenario story and the Theory of Change. This process was accompanied by several informal discussions and exchanges both bilateral and in groups aiming to gain more insights and to establish a shared problem perception as well as support the continuous learning process among the sectoral actors.\n\nThe third project specific objective has been addressed by various activities and outputs that specifically targeted organisations beyond the project consortium. It is one of the key principles of this project to document and disseminate all relevant processes, methods and outputs in a transparent way. Therefore, four interim reports as well as a number of other documents have been generated and published on the project website and other channels. One of the highlights in this second reporting period is the launch of the Knowledge Platform that consists of two parts: An official website and second a Moodle. By combining these two types of platforms their different characteristics concerning usability and content can be reached. Outputs of the project as well as additional (learning and researching) material has already been uploaded and will be added continuously to the platform to provide actionable tools, insights and added value for its users. \n\nA first draft for the concept of the Training Schemes as a programme for capacity building has been designed using the knowledge platform as a key tool to access information and methods to implement (chemicals) traceability. These and other achievements of the project can be seen as relevant steps towards the overall project objective of “promoting the transition to a circular and resource efficient economy”.\n\nAnother highlight of the project progress during this second reporting period has been the successful European Policy Workshop in Brussels in October 2024. A large number of high impact participants including representatives from major companies such as BASF as well as relevant political representatives such as several members of the European Commission and the European Parliament attended the workshop. It can be emphasised that the event not only generated substantial insights for the overall project and the individual participants alike, but also was also positively noted by the broader public incl. business networks such as “Chemical Watch” accordingly. This visibility and acknowledgement beyond the academic sphere helps the project to have a substantial impact on the system at hand and successfully approach relevant target groups in the future. \n\nFrom an academic point of view, the project was visible during several occasions with international reach including the international conference on inter- and transdisciplinarity in Utrecht in autumn 2024. These highlights point to the fact, that the project made achievements both in the real-world as well as the overarching academic context that further informs and elaborates the methodological framework the project is based on. \nReporting period 3 showed a strong momentum in the entire consortium leading to substantial progress in several aspects of the project. \nOne key project part is the implementation of the training schemes in three subsequent workshops. During the preparation of the workshops, the project consortium and especially the working group dealing with this work package showed a strong commitment and worked in a highly productive and constructive way.\n \nThe training schemes consisted of (1) a hybrid workshop in Darmstadt (Germany) and online, (2) a second purely online-workshop and (3) an on-site workshop in Paris (France). During this process the transdisciplinary project team developed the so-called “Chemicals Traceability Canvas” that was later tested by two external industry actors in their internal processes. Both reported on this during the second workshop. In addition to that, the working group developed and tested the transdisciplinary “Trace-It” Game that aims to increase awareness and build capacity regarding the implementation of chemicals traceability in organisations. During this process, industry actors shared comprehensive knowledge and insider know-how to improve the usability and impact of the game.\n\nAs a result, Output 2.1 can be marked as achieved, as among others key players in the textile circular value chains such as SMEs, enterprises, recyclers, policy actors and NGOs have participated in this – and in some cases even co-created substantial parts of the training schemes. It is however necessary to mention that the training schemes themselves have been conducted slightly different that initially planned. The two subsectors cotton and polyester have been addressed simultaneously and workshops were partly organised in hybrid forms. Participants were gradually invited to subsequent workshops and were able to prepare for later workshops by watching recordings of the previously conducted workshops. All in all, this makes it more difficult to precisely measure the exact number of participants. When counting strictly only participants that went through the entire training schemes process live, an estimate of 20 participants can be mentioned.\n\nApart from this, progress was also made in WP1 and the finalisation of the first drafts of the action plans. While the overall strategies were already developed in the form of the “Theory of Change” and the “Scenario Story” the action plans for textile apparel (activity 1.4; lead: Neovili/PUMA) and textile flooring (activity 1.5; lead: GUT) were created as first drafts. As discussed with the joint secretary during reporting period 3, the first draft of the policy action plan (activity 1.3; lead: UBA) has been postponed to reporting period 4). As a result, major progress can be reported in output 1.1.\n\nRegarding WP3, the preparatory work for the training schemes as well as both pilot actions led to major improvements of the knowledge platform (KP). In line with this, substantial progress was made regarding output 3.1 including additional learning material such as the “Chemicals Traceability Canvas”, videos and slides uploaded onto the KP. Both pilot actions, led by Neovili and TEAM2 were conducted in a first iteration, generating a list of additional content elements for the knowledge platform. After several discussions in the steering group and during bilateral exchanges, both partners agreed to update this pilot action if new insights are generated throughout the project process. As a result, output 3.2 (2.6.0.2) can be marked as achieved.\n","Aachen, Herzogenaurach, Lens, Esch-sur-Alzette, Stockholm, Paris, Dessau-Roßlau, Belvax, Darmstadt","DE, FR, LU, SE",{"$nulls":5},9]
["NWE0400527","HydroSoilWise","Enhancing Hydromanagement & Soil health in agriculture for a Climate-Wise environment","The NWE area has a long history of intensive horti- and agriculture. Frequent plowing, monoculture and the use of chemical fertilizers have led to low soil organic matter levels (SOM) of 0-2%. Low SOM results in 2 challenges: 1) reduced soil sponge capacity, which limits the soil's ability to retain water, leading to drought stress for crops; and 2) poor water infiltration, increasing the risk of erosion and floods during heavy rainfall. With climate change intensifying droughts and rainfall extremes in the NWE area, these issues pose important threats to crop yields, food security and flood management. \n\nThe HydroSoilWise project seeks to address these challenges by focusing on 3 main objectives: 1) enhancing soil sponge capacity and infiltration through SOM increase, 2) reducing erosion, and 3) improving water use efficiency (WUE) through smarter irrigation and water management practices. Achieving these goals will involve raising farmers' knowledge and encouraging the adoption of sustainable practices in agri- and horticulture. The project will develop an innovative, user-friendly toolbox for farmers that brings together various techniques that act on SOM, erosion reduction and WUE. We optimize these techniques in 4 drought-sensitive key crops in different soils and climate conditions in NWE (annual vegetables, potatoes, fruit and nursery trees), encompassing ± 550 000 ha in the participating countries. HydroSoilWise aims to implement solutions in about 3% of the target area, delivering tangible benefits for farmers such as more climate-resilient and sustainable crop production.

["NWE0400610","RODEO","Rolling Out DHC Extensively to home Owners","District Heating and Cooling (DHC) is a major tool for the energy transition of city neighbourhoods, featuring prominently in many local climate plans. In most cities in NWE grids still need to be developed, however. The main challenge is no longer technological, but economic: the existing alternative, i.e. natural gas, does not require upfront investments, is well known and therefore the default option. This is why most DHC systems start by only connecting large consumers to a backbone grid of limited length. Capital expenditure is relatively limited and perceived risk is reduced as there is a predictable income stream – but the potential of DHC is also severely constrained.\nRODEO breaks down this barrier by introducing a more participative business model that rebalances the costs, benefits and risks of developing DHC. This enables heat grids to be deployed at scale and eventually reach individual homes. The initiative almost always resides with the local authority, but it is the interplay between all stakeholders - local governments, grid operators, heat suppliers and heat consumers – that is key to the model. This is a clear departure from traditional arm’s length business models that put the burden on the operator to figure out how to compete with gas.\nRODEO will co-create this business model and validate it in 4 pilot cities that are developing their own DHC systems: Dunkerque, Oostende, Assen and Dublin. Each city’s grid is in a different stage of development, while all still rely predominantly on natural gas for heating. The exchange between the 4 cities, supported by subject matter experts Exceedence, Hanze and Endeavour, ensures all parties will learn and evolve far more quickly. Such learning would not be achievable in a purely national context; there are simply not enough grids yet in NWE.\nTo maximize impact the lessons learnt during this project will be put into a training program aimed primarily at local authorities and DHC operators across NWE.","2025-01-01","2028-12-31","(VI-B_NWE_2) Smart and just energy transition","RSO2.1.

Our focus was on demonstrating how activities are interconnected and how they jointly lead to deliverables, outputs and results. The result is a clear work plan, visual timeline and Gantt chart aligning all WPs with project objectives and Interreg requirements that will enable the consortium to work together more effectively. The final AF was successfully submitted together with the PA signed by all partners and RODEO was officially contracted.\n\nKICK-OFF WORKSHOP LILLE\nAll partners actively participated in a 2-day KO workshop in Garage Lille. The meeting re-introduced project partners and their activities, exchanged knowledge about the pilots, formulated ambitions and expectations for the financial architecture and stakeholder engagement strategy, and developed a 1st stakeholder mapping for each pilot. Presentation of the 4 pilot DH systems enabled an insight for participants to understand each other's stage and ambitions for future expansion. This approach is essential for ensuring a long-term collaboration of partners.\n\nA SOLID GROUND FOR TARGETED COMMUNICATION AND EFFECTIVE CO-CREATION \nThe communication manager worked together with PPs on the External Communication Strategy to gather, consolidate, and refine key inputs that will ensure a cohesive, targeted, and effective communication approach. This ensures that messaging will remain clear, project visibility is enhanced and enthusiasm is supported within the NWE community. \n\nThe design of the roadmap & toolbox for stakeholder engagement strategies, led by Hanze and Endeavour, has started. Its goal is to guide partners in defining clear and specific target audiences, thoroughly mapping relevant stakeholders, and crafting unified key messages that are tailored to address the diverse groups involved in or impacted by the DH rollout. Pilot partners have started to:\n-\tCollaborate in interviews to identify and segment target audiences such as homeowners, local communities and property managers\n-\tSupport the comprehensive mapping of stakeholders in workshops to better understand their influence, interests, and potential concerns\n-\tEngage closely with local staff to align communication activities with existing local initiatives and to facilitate community-level outreach and engagement. \n\nSTARTING THE MULTI-PERSPECTIVE REVIEW OF PILOT CONTEXTS \n1-on-1 meetings between Exceedence, Hanze and key stakeholders of the 4 pilots are being organised to better understand the situation and boundaries in each pilot. By gathering key information on operational constraints and network complexity impacting costs and investments, these early conversation lay the groundwork for a practical and adaptable financial framework tailored to the complexity and ambitions of the pilots and managing investment risks & uncertainty.\n \nSETTING UP THE STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT EXPERT GROUP\nEndeavour took the lead in conceptualizing & setting up the stakeholder engagement expert group. A community of experts in stakeholder engagement across NWE & beyond is being built, incl. experts from municipalities, DH operators and participation & co-creation companies. The first stakeholder expert group was organised online on 26 June. \n\nFIRST PILOT MILESTONES AND ACHIEVEMENTS\nOn 24 June, the Assen city council formally approved both the construction of the DH network and the establishment of a municipal heat company. This marked a key step in progressing from preparatory work to implementation. An intent agreement with Actium, the local social housing corporation that will provide the first large number of clients for the district heating, was finalised.\n\nWeekly discussions are taking place on the revision of the operating contract for Dunkerque’s DH network and the implementation of a tariff shield to make the network more attractive. A festive public meeting with tenants, local authority and social housing landlords was organised on 11 June allowing exchanges on consumption individualisation and individual billing.\n\nThe first residential building connected to Tallaght’s DH scheme is nearing occupancy, marking a key milestone in DH rollout and offering a timely opportunity to engage future residents. Highlighting the system’s benefits (efficiency, lower emissions, potential cost savings) will raise awareness and build a positive perception of DH.\n\nStakeholder interviews & workshops resulted in a comprehensive stakeholder mapping developed by Endeavour. This mapping helps to better understand their influence, interests, and potential concerns & will maximize impact of future participation.

["NWE0400468","SmartCORE","Smart Community-Owned Renewable Energy Management","The increasing deployment of intermittent renewables (RES) to meet EU goals is rapidly causing a mismatch between energy production and consumption. This mismatch disrupts prices, causes congestion, market imbalances, and poses high economic and ecological risks for deploying extra RES across NWE. SmartCORE offers a strategy to make the future NWE energy system resilient and ready for more RES.\n\nEnergy Communities (ECs), which unite citizens, SMEs and local authorities in RES projects, can help by engaging in integral energy management beyond mere RES production. That involves stimulating electricity use in periods of RES abundance and lowest cost e.g. by charging electric vehicles at times of RES excess in the grid. Despite progress, current Energy Communities lack scale, capabilities, technology and resilience to engage in services that would keep the grid balanced (BE NL LU) and relief congestion (NL). Abundant nuclear energy (FR), dependence on int’l oil and gas markets (LU), and regulatory issues (IE) further hinder urgency & awareness to consumer participation.\n\nThis project empowers 6 existing ECs in 5 territories of LU FR BE IE NL to engage in integral energy management activities and makes their experience scalable to other 6 existing NWE ECs, outside of the project. SmartCORE explores scale through organisation into Energy Community hubs (2 ECs in NL), enhances ECs capabilities, addresses technical deficiencies, scales business models and tackles regulatory barriers. This approach allows ECs to handle the changing markets, improve the prod.&cons. mix, de-risk their collective RES investments, incentivise new RES capacity and enlarge RES share in NWE. \n\nOutputs include: SmartCORE STRATEGIC PLAN incl. long-term territorial goals and challenges, activated in 5 Territorial ACTION PLANS that operationalise the strategy; 5 pilots (6 investments), jointly planned, and leading to 1 common NWE-scalable SmartCORE SOLUTION and a Joint TRAINING incl. a tailored part for 30 ECs, and a Buddy System with on-the-job-coaching for 6 selected from 30 ECs.

A challenge for this very valuable technique (contribution to food system diversity, space & water efficiency) is the dependency on petrochemical fertilizers, imported from outside Europa and containing finite (phosphorus,P) and energy demanding (nitrogen,N) nutrients.\nAt the same time essential nutrients (such P and N) are lost in the form of non-recycled manure. And livestock farmers are searching for solutions for processing animal manure to respect local legislation in line with the EU Nitrate Directive.\nThe roll-out of bioponics (waterbased growing of crops with the use of organic fertilizers which can be produced from manure) is an opportunity: a circular instead of linear process.\nBIOBOOST-PRO tackles the barriers for the uptake of bioponics in NWE (e.g. lack of knowledge) by all value chain stakeholders (growers, manure producer/suppliers, authorities, umbrella organisations...) by:\n1) implementing and demonstrating bioponics in real live: 11 pilot set-ups in BE, DE, FR, IE & NL with organic fertilizers produced from fish, poultry and/or pig manure;\n2) Enabling the replication and roll-out by transnational tool development: 4 business models, 1 methodology for territorial strategy development and 1 toolkit providing hands-on information for value chain stakeholders;\n3) capacity building through a learning network (60 growers, manure producers/suppliers); transnational advocacy series (50 policy makers/umbrella organisations) and general awareness raising in BE, DE, FR, IE & NL.\nBy this, BIOBOOST-PRO will reinforce the value chain stakeholders from the valuable and promising hydroponic sector in NWE to make the transition from a linear (petrochemical fertilizers) to a circular value chain (organic fertilizers from manure) in this way decreasing manure pollution and preventing loss of valuable nutrients.","2025-01-01","2029-06-30","(VI-B_NWE_3) Transition towards a place-based circular economy","RSO2.6.

D1.2.1 Needs analysis: Saxion, Thomas More, Foenix (PP14), and Apeldoorn collaborated to identify customer needs and guide the development of the E6 service hub.\n\n2. D1.2.2 List of baseline use cases: Use cases were developed by Saxion, Thomas More, Foenix, and Apeldoorn to inform the design of the E6 service hub.\n\n3. D1.2.3 Inventory and scorecard: Saxion and Thomas More created an inventory and scorecard for the multi-component service hub.\n\n4. D2.2.1 Baseline report: The Hague (PP6) mapped the existing local e-repair sector to establish a baseline for the project.\n\n5. D2.5.1 RRR Baseline report: Nievre Numerique (PP3) and Nevers Agglomeration (PP7) worked on identifying and mapping RRR stakeholders and product/waste streams of EEE in their area.\n\n6. D2.5.4 EEE collection point network: Nievre Numerique and Nevers Agglomeration collaborated to create a local cartography for EEE waste collection and integrate re-use solutions into existing recycling activities.\n\n#Ecosystem Establishment and Expansion (WP2)\n\nThe project partners focused on mapping and engaging stakeholders in their local ecosystems:\n\n- Apeldoorn (municipality Apeldoorn, Circulus (PP11), Foenix) mapped the local e-repair sector, formed a stakeholder group, and developed a local customer journey. \n\n- The Hague (PP6) mapped existing repair Small and medium enterprises (SMEs), knowledge partners, platforms and authorities to form their stakeholder group.\n\n- Nievre Numerique and Nevers collected data on local RRR actions, stakeholders and cooperation. A stakeholder meeting identified needs around service design, communication, user journeys and logistics.\n\n- Aachen is establishing a network to integrate repair cafes and avoid overlap as they plan a \"Circular Tech Store\". \n\n- Leuven (Maakbaar Leuven, ViTeS-PP18) is continuing repair methodology work from SHAREPAIR and experimenting with online diagnosis of device repairability as a use case.\n\n- Galway (Comhairle-PP17) is adapting learnings from partner site visits and workshops to develop their ecosystem. A framework was drafted based on ViTes' methodology.\n\nThe ecosystems started meeting regularly to exchange information and provide mutual support as they expand.\n\n# Policy Influencing and Awareness (WP3)\nRepair & Share (PP15) started policy monitoring and influencing work under WP3, focusing initially on EU level developments, as well as barriers and opportunities in Belgium. \n\n# Conclusion\nDuring the initial phase, the E6 project has established a solid foundation in terms of governance, communication and methodology. Significant progress has been made in analysing the needs of the ecosystems, defining the service hub and developing stronger local ecosystems through stakeholder engagement. This collaboration has facilitated valuable knowledge exchange and created an adaptable framework resulting in the completion of the first key deliverables.\n\nThe E6 consortium has moved forward by selecting tools and methods for effective RRR solutions, developing the digital service hub structure (WP1 partners), refining the ecosystem methodology (WP1&2), setting up and aligning ecosystem pilots plans (WP2 partners), and participating in live and online exchanges which supported the development of the first communities of practice (COPs) and trainings within the joint training schemes that supported stakeholder discussions, pilot planning and end results (WP3 partners) within the project.  \n\nWP1\n# Thomas More (TM-PP12) and Saxion (LP1) finalized the listings of existing tools and decision-making tools. The selection will benefit the digital service hub structure. In addition to this list the service hub architecture, data modeling, and end-user segmentation (Maakbaar Leuven/MAL-PP8 with Apeldoorn-PP2 and TM (D.1.4.1)) were developed in several COPs with Saxion and VITO. VITO (PP16) provided technical details on potential service hub tools. They contributed to identifying and assessing relevant software solutions. The gathered information on tools, use cases, end-users and requirements  was used to build a joint action plan on the service hub (A1.2) which sets a clear path for service hub development and roles and tasks for the E6 partners working on the service hub.  \n#ITB (PP5) refined the common methodology (D.1.1.1) for establishing functional ecosystems, supported by an online mind map to document challenges and solutions. ITB and IFH (PP9) contributed to strategies for “How to Run an Ecosystem” (D.1.1.2, D.1.1.3) and these documents supported the content development of the pilot action plans for ecosystem partners. \n\nWP2\n#Saxion with Apeldoorn developed with the input from ITB and IFH a pilot plan format that was used by all ecosystems, and was beneficial to comparison and alignment of the ecosystem pilot plans. The ecosystem partners discussed the content of their pilot plans within their ecosystem and provided peer reviews for another ecosystem, for example Apeldoorn, Circulus (PP11) and Foenix (PP14) delivered their ecosystem pilot plan in cooperation and gained peer reviews from MAL (PP8) and VITES (PP18). \n#Local stakeholders meetings were set up to provide content for the pilot plans. For example Nievre Numerique (NN-PP3) with Nevers Agglomeration (PP7) organized a webinar on local governance (D2.5.7). The Hague (PP6) continued held through stakeholder meetings to refine bottom-up solutions. Aachen (PP13) with input from ASB (PP19) started with extensive networking and local stakeholder alignment, which provided logistics and infrastructure insights for Aachen’s ecosystem and content for the pilot plan.\n\nWP3\n#Joint training (JTS): MAL co-organized a workshop and learning visit to Apeldoorn (10/11/2024) to exchange strategies for circular centers and citizen awareness. Results aided both in their pilot plan development. Circulus organized internal kickoff meetings (20/08, 2/09, 7/10 2024) to align projects and their policies. They collaborated with Stichting Open (27/08, 04/11/2024) for WEEE benchmarks and shared knowledge with other municipalities. UnaG (PP10) developed training programs and a barcode-based tracking system for product traceability. Vites focused on EEE intake registration, transport optimization, triage tools, and training initiatives for repair staff. They tested a draft triage tool at a donation point in Leuven and strengthened repair processes toward “repair as a service”. UnaG with input from Comhairle (PP17) launched a pilot service hub for EEE intake, repair, and refurbishment.  Foenix supported partners Apeldoorn and Circulus in reuse operations and e-waste collections, sharing knowledge about second-hand store engagement. \n#Policy: Repair & Share (PP15-R&S) documented structural barriers and opportunities for RRR ecosystems. They engaged with policymakers and stakeholders to advocate for repair-friendly legislation.\n#Outreach: For the communication on the project Ernact (PP4) maintained regular communication channels such as the website, newsletters and social media channels. Together with the partners, Saxion, UnaG, Ernact (PP4) and Comhairle, a project live meeting was organized in Galway (1–3 October 2024) with focus on ecosystem and pilot plan development (by TM and Saxion)and to provide input on tools (by TM) and policy monitoring (by R&S). Project partners also provided peer reviews to progress UnaG and Comhairle on how to set up a circular ecosystem.\n\nSaxion led overall project management with support from Apeldoorn, TM and Ernact, ensuring alignment on deliverables, coordinating guidance activities, and organizing project steering committees (09/07, 03/10, 10/12/2024). Topics of steering committee were project strategy discussions, improved risk management, and facilitated the addition of a new project partner. \n","Varennes-Vauzelles, Aachen, Leuven, Galway, Mol, Brussels, Apeldoorn, Sint-Katelijne-Waver, Furbogh County Galway, Göttingen, Nevers, Den Haag, Karlsruhe, Letterkenny, Enschede","FR, DE, BE, IE, NL",{"$nulls":5},20]
["NWE0300439","DEM-AWE","Demonstrating Mobile Airborne Wind Energy","In order to achieve the European energy targets, innovative RE technologies are required that can also serve new use cases and installation locations.\nThe InterregNWE project MegaAWE has demonstrated the potential of Airborne Wind Energy (AWE) systems to scale up, halve the cost of wind energy and bring offshore wind to deeper waters. The development and commercialization of a 1-MW AWE system has been prepared, but the 5 years as required for implementation proved to be unacceptable for investors.\nDEM-AWE is therefore demonstrating a new application of AWE, much closer to the market: Kitepowered Battery Energy Storage System (K-BESS) in NWE. K-BESS is the first mobile energy solution that is also sustainable and can newly introduce RE to small off-grid communities and into economic sectors such as construction and agriculture. Furthermore, a cross-regional demonstration of a first use case for AWE will raise confidence and a broader interest in this new RE technology, with customers, regions and investors, and will help to diversify RE and its penetration to more remote and off-grid sites in NWE.\nThe demonstration will be carried out over a minimum of 12 months by Kitepower (NL) with a K-BESS prototype pre-commercial demonstrator sized for its capability to charge a 400 kWh battery in 10 hours, with a utility in County Mayo, Ireland and a Dutch farmer (Dirksland) as user partners. With the operational experience gained and feedback from stakeholders, a reliable new solution can be produced.\nBlueWise Marine (IE) and Laminak Energy (FR) will translate the lessons learned for their regions into a roadmap for the market introduction of K-BESS and further AWE applications in NWE. Airborne Wind Europe (BE), the AWE sector organization, will disseminate the concrete results and validated perspectives and help introduce the new mobile and off-grid AWE applications in the regional strategies in NWE. The DEM-AWE project builds on strong local government support, with Mayo County Council (IE) as project partner, to reach out to local communities as well.","2024-01-01","2025-06-30","(VI-B_NWE_2) Smart and just energy transition","RSO2.2.

These generators are polluting, noisy, and costly to run and maintain. As Europe pushes toward carbon neutrality, there's an urgent need for clean, mobile, and flexible power alternatives that can serve temporary or off-grid operations.\n\nThe DEM-AWE project set out to prove that Airborne Wind Energy (AWE), a cutting-edge renewable technology using tethered kites to capture high-altitude wind, could meet this challenge. The team developed and tested the Kite-powered Battery Energy Storage System (K-BESS): a transportable, self-contained energy unit that generates wind power and stores it in an integrated battery. The system is designed for easy deployment, making it ideal for sites with temporary energy demand—like construction projects that move every few months.\n\nDEM-AWE successfully tested the K-BESS in County Mayo, Ireland, in a test site owned by RWE, and later in the Netherlands, where it was deployed near an active construction site managed by Dura Vermeer. The system operated, powering on-site equipment, and proved that kite-based energy could offer a real-world alternative to diesel, even in unpredictable weather and remote locations. The mobility of the system was a key success: it was transported, set up, and operated with a minimal footprint, meeting the needs of dynamic, off-grid operations.\n\nThe project was built on cross-border cooperation, with partners from Ireland, the Netherlands, France, and Belgium contributing expertise in technology development, spatial planning, policy, and stakeholder engagement. This collaboration ensured the solution was not only technically viable but also tailored to real-world conditions, regulations, and markets.\n\nTogether, the partners produced a market study for AWE, a route-to-market strategy, and open-access GIS site identification studies, helping to guide future deployments across the NWE region. Cooperation also helped build institutional capacity, particularly among local authorities and energy developers, and enhanced understanding of AWE’s regulatory and operational needs.\n\nThe impact is already clear: Kitepower, the system developer, has launched a commercial rental model for the K-BESS, making it available to clients in construction, logistics, and other mobile energy sectors. Public authorities like Mayo County Council and regulators such as the Irish Aviation Authority have deepened their knowledge of supporting emerging renewable solutions. And the wider public is now more aware of the potential of AWE as a new renewable energy source.\n\nBy making project tools and results publicly available, DEM-AWE ensures durability and replication of the solution. The system’s mobility, combined with its low-carbon footprint, makes it uniquely suited to the energy transition needs of temporary and remote operations.\n\nSome challenges remain: scaling up production, navigating evolving regulations, and building market and social trust. \n","Castlebar, Delft, Quimper, Brussels","IE, NL, FR, BE",{"$nulls":5},4]

As set out in the EU Green Deal strategy, reducing pesticide and nutrient use by 50% and 20% respectively, by 2030 and ensuring sustainable farming systems are necessary for a fair, healthy, and green EU food system.\nSIMONE will be the driving force behind this agroecological transition in NWE area. This ambitious 4-year project addresses three major issues faced by farmers at the cropping system level when supported by supply chain stakeholders - including consumers: (i) integrated weed management, (ii) sustainable crop nutrition, and (iii) crop resilience management. Although many agroecological measures exist (farming practices, technologies, genetics...), they need to be inventoried, evaluated, and adapted to farm-specific conditions.\nSeven living labs will be set up to strengthen (inter-)regional cooperation, define the needs of farmers and actors, and identify possible agroecological transition paths. Having identified the most relevant agroecological measures, partners will co-develop simulators to predict the most effective combinations of measures based on technico-economic and environmental indicators at local and regional levels.\nFarmers on their farms will then implement and evaluate these measures through On-Farm Experiments (OFE). Regional partners and stakeholders will assist at least 50 farmers in their OFE by (i) setting up trials, (ii) providing monitoring expertise and smart technologies, (iii) proposing action-oriented development to support the agroecological transition (new markets, specific technologies, policy support, training, education...).\nFinally, cross-fertilisation will be fiercely promoted through impactful dissemination and collaboration activities to reach at least 10,000 stakeholders.

Recruitment of farmers has been launched across all Living labs based on a voluntary engagement. Recruitment of stakeholders is at the project presentation stage to motivate their participation. Commitment agreements have already been given, for example in the North East French Living lab.\nMeetings were held on the development of living lab indicators. The indicators are divided into categorie (agronomic, ecological, economic, social) and topics (crop establishment, weed management and nutrient efficiency). An approach based on mandatory indicators (for all and therefore ideally under Systerre) supplemented by free indicators (to be chosen by each Living Lab or even each farmer, a tool that can be left free) was proposed. An Excel file was produced to list the indicators and classify them by typology.\n\n-A communication and dissemination strategy (D1.5.1) is created to present the objectives, target groups and messages of the project and to describe the communication guidelines, actions, agreements, and related budget.  A Q&A session was organized to discuss the content of the document with all partners. The communication strategy is finalized, reviewed, and validated by the consortium.\nAll SIMONE partners communicated intensively about the launch of the project and call for recruitment for the Living Labs. Each partner published a project description on their websites and some of them spread the info as well via their newsletter. A press release describing the goals and planned project initiatives has been widely spread in the NWE region.Launch of the project website simone.nweurope.eu in April, monthly updated with project news and -info. Details of all communication actions are recorded in the communication tracker of SIMONE. \n\n-Share and implement a methodological framework to adapt to each living lab a shared knowledge model : during the Kick Off meeting, a presentation was given to raise awareness among partners of the specific features of the method proposed in the project, i.e. Directed Acyclic Graph and Bayesian networks. A specific meeting was proposed to the technical moderators and methodological specialists from each of the Living Lab which had applied to build a simulator: Switzerland, France, Wallonia and Flanders. \nA first version of the methodological guide is being finalized.  This guide will be made available to partners this autumn, to support them throughout the development of their simulator.\nTo be able to supply prototypes to partners, the North East French Living Lab has moved ahead with the construction of models: the parameterization of the crop establishment model with experts started in April, and the crop nutrition model should start in September. The prototype for the weed management model is nearing completion. These models will be made available to partners via privileged access to a dedicated ARVALIS IT tool.\n\n-Implement and evaluate by and with farmers directly on their farms agroecological practices and equipment adapted to their objectives. : to describe the initial situation of each farm and each OFE, a draft protocol is being drawn up. The initial assessment must be the same for everyone and must be compatible with the SYSTERRE tool.  Provision of an excel file (available in English) to collect the data needed to run it .  \nWe propose a ‘fishbone’ representation of the cropping systems (the head represents the objectives, the rotation the backbone and the agroecological levers mobilised the fishbones).\nWe also have written a list of agroecological levers currently used to help the initial description. \nWorkshops were realized to establish links between the digital dashboard and the data collected (digital/sensor and manual measurements date)  in the fields of On Farm Experiments  and the multi performance impact evaluation (SYSTERRE tool ) \nSpecialists from the ARVALIS/AGROSCOPE/HIPHEN partners were interviewed to begin drawing up a list of variables (digital/manual acquisitions) that could be measured in the OFEs and thus integrated into the protocols, depending on the sensors/vectors available and the themes being worked on (weeds, nutrition, establishment). In relation to the 3 SIMONE themes, a summary of the digital variables deemed accessible was drawn up.\nOrganisation of a training session on the systerre tool on May. 9 partners were trained. The recording of the session was viewed 3 times and is available to all partners.\n\nWork has progressed on all project activities, more specifically on those related to the achievement of results 1 and 4.\n- Establishment of an interregional dynamic: organisation of a General Assembly and a steering committee in September, of the management team in November and of workshops (10) at Work Package and activity level . The creation of a strategic advisory board has been approved.\n- Construction of 7 living labs: the recruitment of farmers has been completed in all living labs, and of  stakeholders in 4  . An initial meeting of all the stakeholders was held in 2  Living lab. ARVALIS has taken charge of the coordination of the living labs, meetings (3) have been organised to review their progress and identify questions and needs. 48 farmers (for 50 OFE) and 31 (for 44 consulted) stakeholders are  involved.\n- selection of appropriate indicators: 41 indicators were agreed with all the partners and in connection with all the WPs. These indicators are divided into agronomic, ecological, economic and social categories and the collection period. An Excel file was created to list the indicators and classify them by type. Additional indicators could be defined specifically by each Living Lab, for example on biodiversity in the French Living Lab.\n-implementation of reflexive monitoring: conducting a review of the scientific literature on methodologies for analysing the dynamics of the LLs and identifying the obstacles to and drivers of agroecological innovations.

Each of these elements was added to the communication monitoring, which is kept up to date. The SIMONE communication tracker was extended with an extra page to track deliverables and KPI’s. More than 17,000 people have been reached by these communication initiatives.\n- Share and implement a methodological framework to adapt a shared knowledge model to each living lab: organisation of meetings with the partners involved to continue the appropriation of the method and the selection of prototypes. Information was provided on 4 prototypes (weeds simple version and COMBHERPIC version, nutrition, and crop establishment). A new feature was developed in CartoDAG, a computer tool for Bayesian networks, opening the tool to all partners. ARVALIS organised a two-day training session in December on DAG construction and model evaluation. The first version of the methodological guide (D.2.2.1) was provided by arvalis. Mutually enriching discussions have begun, with models being developed to collect data.\n- Implement and evaluate agroecological practices and equipment adapted to their objectives by and with farmers, directly on their farms.: A workshop was organised in Paris on 17 and 18 October 2024, to link the activities of WP3 and improve cooperation between the partners. A questionnaire was drawn up and put online to describe the initial status of the OFEs. The construction of the digital dashboard prototype is underway with the support of real examples of OFEs. The protocols for digital and field data acquisition have been established and the two deliverables D.3.3.1 and D.3.3.2 have been provided. The collected data was selected in relation to the indicators defined for the living labs and the variables predicted by the knowledge models.  The leading living labs were assisted in their first data entries on the SYSTERRE tool, and a nomenclature compatible with all the tools used (Systerre, Dashboard, Cloverfield) was validated.

Preliminary discussions on incorporating the Early Adopter Energy Communities into the project also took place across this period, and it was jointly agreed that Early Adopters should be selected in P2 rather than P3, and that their in-person induction would be incorporated into the site visit and masterclass (and TPM) which will take place in Fryslân/ Vlieland in P3.\n\nBy the end of P1, AquaCOM was advancing satisfactorily, and aligned with the activities, deliverables and delivery periods outlined in the approved proposal.\n\nActivities and work undertaken during Period 2 have focused on consolidating preparatory work undertaken during Period 1 across all 3 Work Packages.\n\nCollecting and compiling data, information and input from key stakeholders has been the central activity in WP1, and all partners have built up a profile of the current status of aquathermal energy in their respective countries, from this exercise.  Stakeholders from across the whole aqe value chain were approached and engaged to participate either in face-to-face meetings or online sessions, the purpose of which was to draw on their knowledge, skills, expertise and thoughts on the existing aquathermal energy landscape in their partner countries, and the prospects for its future development.  Period 3 will see all of this information being assessed, analysed and compiled into a robust report on the current state of play of aquathermal energy technologies in the participating project countries, including information on potential challenges and barriers to its uptake, current and anticipated legislative and regulatory frameworks, as well as recommendations for advocacy actions relevant to each country, which partners will try to progress over the project's lifetime.\n\nWithin WP2, progress has been ongoing with establishing the pilot projects in Vlieland (NL), Rotselaar (BE) and Lorient (FR).  There has been extensive engagement with key stakeholders and potential end users in all 3 locations.  Technical assessments have taken place in the Vlieland and Rotselaar sites, and the priority going forward will be to implement the pilot, in line with the agreed implementation framework, and in line with agreed timelines.\n\nThe 'Early Adopter' elements of the project, as outlined in WP3, have been significant pieces of work during P2.  During this period, a Call for Early Adopters was developed and launched, applications sought and assessed, and relationships between selected Early Adopters and project partners have started to be established.  The Call sought 15 Early Adopters and resulted in a total of 16 Early Adopters, with higher levels of interest in some countries (IE,NL,FR) than in others (BE,DE).  Significant communications activity and campaigns underpinned these activities.\n\nBuilding up a client base for the Aquathermal Energy Competence Centre was another key piece of work that took place in WP3 during this period, with partners in all countries working to build up awareness of the project, and of the potential of aquathermal energy technologies for community renewable energy initiatives.  This transnational virtual network will formally launch in P3.\nImplementation of the project has continued apace during P3, in line with the proposed activities and deliverables.  \n\nThe research and information gathering exercise (WP1) which was extended into P3 concluded, and a preliminary collation and analysis was prepared, and will form the basis of more in-depth analysis in P4, as well as forming the baseline for the AQE Readiness Tool which will be incorporated into the AQE Knowledge Portal.  A wealth of information was compiled by all partners, spanning the range and current status of enabling factors from legislative and regulatory requirements in partner countries, to viable governance models.  The overarching  This data will be updated and supplemented by all partners on an ongoing basis across the project.\n\nProgressing the implementation of 2 of the 3 pilot projects advanced across the period, however challenges with leadership and ownership of the Vlieland pilot meant that the main activities in this regard concerned discussions with PP9 and other members of the pilot project steering group around how best to progress, given that PP9 will be unable to continue in its role as Leader of the pilot implementation due to a decision made by the Municipality to withdraw from playing a central role in the development of AQE on Vlieland.  SAV, an AquaCOM Associate Partner, is well placed and willing to assume the role, which will be effective from P4 onwards.\n\nA constant focus across P3 was on the Early Adopters (WP3), with partner activities across M13-15 centred on onboarding the EA reps, and supporting and preparing them for participation in the in-person EA induction and Masterclass events which took place in Vlieland in early October.  The level and breadth of participation, knowledge and interest from the EAs at the event was inspirational, and it proved to be a very worthwhile event for both partners and EA reps, over the course of the 3.5 days.  Feedback was very positive and it is anticipated that the approach of selecting a diverse group of EAs, at different stages of their project implementation journeys - some at concept stage and others almost project-ready - will prove to be valuable in facilitating peer learning between the group.\n\nAll in all, progress has been good, and in line with the proposal, despite a temporary challenge with leadership of the Vlieland pilot project, which will be resolved.\n\n\nActivities throughout P4 focussed on consolidating work undertaken in previous periods, and saw good progress in progressing the pilot projects, supporting Early Adopters, and launching the AQE transnational knowledge community (competence centre).\n\nThe AQE status-quo assessment was completed, and highlights of the key findings were presented to Early Adopters and to interested stakeholders across the partner countries, through a well-attended webinar, with in-country follow-ups by partners.  Based on this study, all partners worked in P4 on identifying advocacy actions relevant to their national operating environments, which seek to enable the growth and development of AQE technologies in their partner countries.  For the remainder of the project, partners will work with key stakeholders to influence and advocate for the actions they have selected; progress will be reported at the end of P6 and P8.\n\nWP 2 saw a lot of activity in this period.  Monthly technical meetings continue to be facilitated by PP2, the WP lead, with ongoing technical support being provided on an ongoing basis.  The introduction of a new partner (PP10) in place of PP9 formally took effect in M19.  While this change necessitated a detailed budgetary and activity review and rescoping of the Vlieland pilot, tangible steps have been taken with regard to permits and procurement, and it is anticipated that construction work will be completed in P6.  The TPM in Autumn 2026 (P7) will take place in Vlieland/ Fryslân as planned, and will showcase the pilot in operation, assuming that all works are completed to schedule, with no unforeseen delays.  \n\nThe feasibility study commissioned by SPL BER (PP8) was completed, highlighting the potential for an aquathermal energy-based district heating and cooling network in the city of Lorient (implementation not within the scope of this project).  Findings were discussed and shared with partners at the TPM in Ireland in March/April and at subsequent partner meetings.  Partners and Early Adopters will have an opportunity to visit the proposed sites in Lorient at the TPM/ Early Adopter event in Lorient in PP5, and to participate in discussions around the feasibility of the proposed sites examined in the study.  By that stage, PP8 will have considered which sites are feasible in relation to broader project plans.\n\nImplementation of the third project pilot - in Rotselaar BE - got underway in this period and the RFQ for the complete installation was launched in M20, based on technical, environmental and commercial studies undertaken in P3.  Contractors for 3 of the 4 elements of the installation have been appointed, with a new RFQ launched in M24 seeking a suitable contractor to deliver the 4th element of the installation.\n\nThe Aquathermal Energy Competence Centre, a virtual transnational community of those engaged in or interested in the development of AQE, was launched in M19, with a subsequent webinar on one of the AquaCOM Project Pilots (Rotselaar, BE) in M24.  Engagement has been good, with all partners focussed on growing the level of participation within their own countries, on an ongoing basis.\n\nThe Early Adopter Communities participating in the project continue to be supported through webinars, and support from both their in-country partners and transnational partners, based on their needs.  A comprehensive, detailed AQE Project workbook was drafted in this period, with input from all partners, and will be formally introduced to the EA communities at the EA Learning event in Lorient in M27/28.  \n\nApprox. 2/3 of the Early Adopters are very engaged, with the early-stage groups being particularly committed; many are now actively seeking suitable funding streams suited to further progression of their implementation plans and/or elements of their project implementation.  The forthcoming Capitalisation Funding stream is of interest to the consortium in this regard, and would enable\n\nA range of in-country comms & dissemination activities took place during this period, both online and in-person, and a framework for the AQE Portal on the Energy Communities website (hosted by PP4) was developed and agreed upon.\n\nThe scope of the Action Research on the Early Adopters, which had originally been planned for completion in P3, was completed; this activity and deliverable seeks to document the learning and participation of the Early Adopters in the project, and the production of audio-visual materials to support this activity will start at the Lorient EA Meeting in M27/28.  Four short videos will be produced, starting with the Lorient meeting. These will focus on 4 particular aspects relevant to the AQE project 'journey', from the perspective of Sustainable/Energy Communities, and will feature inputs from all of the EAs across the 4 videos.\n\nOverall, the project is progressing to schedule, with good engagement from partners and Early Adopters, with no insurmountable challenges thus far.\n\n","Vlieland, Lorient, Oldenburg, Beveren-Leie (Waregem), Leeuwarden, Berchem, Berchem-Antwerpen, Leuven, Co Limerick","NL, FR, DE, BE, IE",null,"Belgique/België (BE), Rotselaar, Molenstraat, 2, 3110\n",null,null,null,10]

["NWE0100038","SCEPA","Scaling Up the Energy Poverty Approach","Energy poverty has been deemed a major challenge by the European Commission and “lifting vulnerable citizens out of it is an urgent task for the EU”. EU-surveys in 2021 found that energy poverty applied to up to 125 million citizens already. Due to recent geo-political events energy prices are record high, and energy poverty is rapidly increasing and intensifying. Proven measures to alleviate energy poverty are available but are only applicable in local conditions and unable to reach all off the growing target groups. Especially hard-to-reach vulnerable households require tailor-made approaches. Energy poverty is often just one of the multi-social problems households are dealing with and should therefore be addressed integral. \n\nSCEPA (Scaling up the Energy Poverty Approach) aims to contribute to a just and inclusive energy transition by better engaging more vulnerable households, reducing and alleviating energy poverty. Within the NWE partner areas currently over \n\n3.5 mil. households are found to suffer from energy poverty. Instead of reinventing the wheel, SCEPA gathers and enhances existing effective energy poverty approaches in order to be able to upscale initiatives. Stakeholders in the project learn from each other and share their best practices to develop a Joint Action Strategy (JAS). The JAS provides nuanced details of what works for specific target groups in specific residential areas in NWE. The JAS is used for the development of the Local Action Plan for the partner regions and cities. During the implementation of pilot activities (WP2 A3-A10), 3 types of pilots with 13 types of interventions are enhanced, tested and scaled up, targetting over 105.000 households. Via monitoring and evaluation, the JAS is updated and shared with SCEPA’s community of interest for replication. This way vulnerable households in the partner areas, public authorities and organisations beyond the SCEPA consortium looking to scale up their energy poverty approach will benefit.","2023-07-01","2027-06-30","(VI-B_NWE_2) Smart and just energy transition","RSO2.1.

The event was attended by all partners, the majority of associated partners, and interested organizations from participating countries. In total a 113 individuals participated in the event. The event included a site visit on the first day, allowing participants to familiarize themselves with Arnhem's approach to energy poverty and the multitude of organizations and individuals contributing to it. The more formal part of the kickoff occurred on the second day, where participants learned about the project's objectives, activities of all the eight partners, and received insights from the Dutch research institute TNO based on their research in the Netherlands on the effectiveness of energy poverty measures. These research findings will undoubtedly inform SCEPA's final result, the JAS.\n\n- A narrative questionnaire has been created that collects current partner Energy Poverty practices. The questionnaire will be published among partners early period 2 and provide input for the analysis of current local EP mitigation practices and thus also input for the JAS.\n\n- A start has also been made on the LAP. In December ARN started with drafting the concept of the LAP. In period 2 the participating partners will fill in the LAP, just as planned in the application form. \n\n- Moreover, progress has been made in establishing the SCEPA Community of Interest (CoI) (Activity 3.1). The CoI helps by bringing SCEPA to a broader audience of stakeholders in NWE. The CoI is a motivated group of stakeholders united by their interest in learning about and potentially scaling up SCEPA’s outputs. Preparations have been made to identify the CoI members. Moreover, a dedicated section on the SCEPA webpage provides detailed information about the CoI.\nIn period 2, good progress was made for all work packages and cooperation with and between the partners went well. A number of deliverables have been delayed for various substantive reasons, solutions to complete these deliverables in the next periods have been found. We highlight five major steps that have taken place during this period:\n> Joint Action Strategy (JAS) completed. The JAS is the scalable step by step guideline organsations in NWE can utilise to co-develop and upscale energy poverty mitigation programmes. It offers a generic rationale for developing effective energy poverty programme. A structure is presented for an inventory of effective energy poverty reducing interventions by describing them in 16 dimensions. The JAS feeds the Local Action Plan (with the plans for pilot implementation) and is highly relevant for the SCEPA Community of Interest.  The JAS is a deliverable, as well as an output and results of the project.\n> Local Action Plan (LAP) completed. In this plan, all partners describe how the pilots in their regions will be implemented (WP2), building on their own practices and learning from WP1 (e.g. literature review, partner energy poverty practices, the JAS). The LAP is a deliverable, as well as an output and results of the project.\n> Local Communication Strategies completed. Based on the LAP and the overall  Communication Strategy all six Local Communication Strategies have been set up. The pilot partners are now ready to start the pilots in period 3. \n> Community of Interest (CoI) launched. The CoI is SCEPA’s main body for transfer and uptake of SCEPA findings and practices by other (local) authorities, housings associations, energy agencies, local social organisations and research organisations. In period 2, the objectives and structure of the CoI have been finalized (Open call/road map) potential interested organisations have been identified and organisations are invited to join (Survey). \n> Training has started: a training plan has been developed and the first two webinars (on civic engagement) of the training were organised in June 2024. \nSeveral partner and bilateral meetings have been organised to discuss activity and deliverable progress, new ideas and feedback with the partners. Main event was the seccond partner meeting in Liège (BE) 22-24 April, in which all of the above steps have been discussed during several work sessions and exchanges with e.g. the EU-CEES (Community Energy for Energy Solidarity) project and our associated organisation Plymouth City Council were organised. \nGeneral Good progress was made by all partners, with no major deviations or problems encountered in activities, deliverables, or the partnership.\n> All deliverables scheduled for period 3 have been successfully delivered, along with deliverables postponed from period 2 to period 3.\n\nMain achievement Research and development was done for the Data graph model and platform. This model/platform is now referred to in the project as its AI-tool ChatLocal. A working prototype is attracting attention in various dissemination activities inside and outside the project, including the NWE Annual Event. \n> Period 3 marks the start the implementation the project pilots A, B and C. Partners have worked on communication campaigns, deployed energy vans/''Renovan'', supported vulnerable households with low-energy appliances, energy diagnostics, energy coaches and involved their local/regional stakeholders to improve cooperation and reach out to the vulnerable households. \n> Community of Interest: in the first part of period 3, efforts focused on inviting organizations, associations, and municipalities working on energy efficiency to join the CoI, based on the stakeholder map drafted in Period 2. This focus shifted in the second half of period 3, to developing a new approach to simplify the adhesion process and improve communication to actively engage CoI members. \n> SEEA hosted a 3-day partner meeting in Kilkenny, Ireland, in October 2024.

The communication strategy was jointly developed (lead PEHESTAT). \n\nA 3 day kick-off meeting was jointly prepared and held in Eersel 16-18 April at the VencoCampus (headquarter of Vencomatic). This was an important event for the OMELETTE project for internal collaboration but also for stakeholder involvement and broad communication on the project towards the poultry sector, authorities and consumers.  \nThe first day WP leaders and communication managers prepared  and led the in depth content discussions and made the timeline and expectations visible for all partners. An action plan per WP was made with input from all partners with identification of the territorial differences.\nThe second day, the first TransRegional EGGspert Panel (TREP) was held with Associated Organisations. These key stakeholders from the different NWE regions received an overview of the project content. In addition 3 interactive workshops were held (pilot farms involvement,  hen/flock behaviour monitoring and communication plan) to collect the input and needs of the different stakeholders in the different regions and incude this in the development of the detailed workplans. The TREP meetings ended with a guided tour at Vencomatic and with a press release of the OMELETTE project. Next to the specilised press also national press showed interest in the project. The project was presented at the 19h news journal on the television and on different radiochannels and articles in different newspapers were publised. All partners communicated on the start of OMELETTE via newsletters and LinkedIn. The press release together with the communication by partners put the OMELETTE project and its objective under the attention of different stakeholders and target groups throughout the region. \nThe kick-off was concluded by the first General Assembly meeting. \n\nOptimisation and deployment of solutions and measures to improve welfare and stimulate hen longevity (WP1) took an immediate start: The region wide survey was developed with all partners and first interviews were held. \nThe first innovative techniques/ solutions are under investigation (light, breeds, enrichment) as well as first work on housing systems (Code2+, Wintergarten) was done with expertise of different partners. \n\nThe voucher scheme protocol for all WP's was prepared by EPC together with involved partners. \n\nPartners involved in the pro-active hen management part (WP2) started the outline and identification of the needs (Lead: KULeuven, together with PEHESTAT, VMG, UBREN, EPC, ANSES and INNOZH). Partners discussed the practical approach of the manual and automated monitoring of hen behaviour. In addition, the preparation of the (semi)commercial test of an integrated data platform was done. A data platform was chosen and an open call for pilot farms was launched at the end of Period 1. \n\nWP3 focuses on boosting broad solution implementation, knowledge transfer, innovation capacity and awareness. To achieve this, work has started at different levels:\n- partners together with stakeholders (AO's) jointly discussed the needs from different stakeholders and from different regions to implement the Longevity Action Plan in the field. \n- HSOS with input from PP's started the micro and macro level impact analysis work. \n- Partners agreed on the content and responsibilities for the different modules that form the training schemes. HSOS, together with EPC and VMG will organise a first training scheme for students in Autumn 2024. \n- first contact were made with local authorities to identify their needs\n- first steps towards communication to the general public was done: open day at VMG and additional interview for national television VRT (EPC).\n\n\n\n\nAll partner actively contributed to multiple meetings on project, communication, work package and activity level. \nThis collaboration enhanced the progress made in the 3 work packages. \n\nThe work on different solutions to promote hen longevity continued. A joint literature study and transregional (BE, NL, FR) survey to list solutions and practices that need optimisation and testing was finalised and analysed by CAB, INNOZH, Pehestat with input from ANSES and EPC. The lighting trials, hen breed comparison (EPC, HATO and Pehestat) provided (preliminary) insights which were shared and discussed with farmers and broad sector in Flanders (EPC). The semi-commercial trials on enrichment were started and monitoring of the enrichment use was started with KULeuven and input from UBERN. \nVMG, EPC, UBern and KULeuven continued the work on improvement and evaluation of the  Veranda Code 2+ system as well as evaluation of space use in the hen house and in the covered veranda (wintergarden)\nUBern and KULeuven together with EPC continued the work on evaluating hen behaviours: list of (un) wanted behaviours, installation and follow up of cameras at UBern's  and EPC's hen house. \nOrbem with input of VMG and other PP's developed a protocol to start the hatchery follow up with detailed description of the voucher scheme protocol.\nPreparations for the calcium efficiency trial were done by INNOZH and ANSES. \nHATO and Orbem drafted the voucher scheme protocols, selection criteria and launced an open call for pilot locations. EPC assisted them in this proces. \n\nFor WP2 the main outcome of this period was a jointly agreed OMELETTE Welfare Monitoring Protocol based on literature review, expertise of PPs and protocols actively used by PPs. From this, 7 behaviours were selected and a manual protocol as well as the start of evaluation of possibility for  automatic monitoring (cameras) was done by KULeuven, EPC, UBERN, VMG, PEHESTAT with input from all PPS. \n\nVMG and Pehestat focused on the data platform, chose the Meggsius system and VMG explored the possibility to integrate health and welfare data on the hens in the production parameter platform. Both partners prepared the commercial scale trials of the platform. Voucher schemes for these trials at pilot locations were prepared. Clear selection criteria were identified upfront and an open call has been launched in NL and BE. \nWork on the PDCA approach and motivational interviewing has been started by PEHESTAT, VMG, CAB, INNOZH and ANSES. \n\nThe work for the Longevity Action Plan (WP3), was started. A retroplanning was made by EPC for the implementation of the LAP in commercial farms. The next flock at EPC hen house will serve as a test case. The content of the LAP is under contruction (EPC, PEHESTAT and CAB) and during the WP meetings in period 3 all PPS will be involved and inclusion of WP1 and 2 results will be discussed. \nHSOS continued the work on the impact analysis. It has been jointly decided to focus on 1)hen longevity and 2) Veranda Code 2+ housing concept as selected technologies for micro and macro level analysis\nHSOS organised with collaboration of EPC and VMG  the first student poultry training scheme for 22 agricultural students (future farmers and advisors).  \nThe 'Connect policy with egg producers' activity has been starterd by EPC, HSOS, UBERN and ANSES. They jointly agreed the approach and identified the targeted authorities per region. \nEPC together with Pehestat made a film for the regional agricultural  TV in Flanders (Plattelandstv) to present the OMELETTE projects aims for future proof sustainable egg production in NWE and made a general call for collaboration from farmers and broad sector. \n\nAll partners contributed to the broad dissemination of the project's aims and preliminary results through different channels (a film on an national agricultural tv channel in Belgium, study days, OMELETTE website, agricultural fair, publications in specialized magazines, LinkedIn, ..). Different target groups were reached with farmers and broad sector being the focus for WP1 and 2 while for WP3 (local) authorities and consumers were also targeted. \n\n\n\nAll partners actively contributed to the workplan and multiple meetings on project-, communication-, work package - and activity level. Period 3 kicked off with an inspiring physical partner meeting including 2nd GA, WP's meetings, site visit of the facilities where UBERN is doing the hen longevity studies and interactive workshops that were  crucial for the development of the Longevity Action Plan. \nThis close collaboration enhanced the progress made in the 3 WPs leading progress in the project's specific objectives and main outputs. \n\n\nAll partners actively continued the work on WP1 contributing to encourage the uptake of techniques and solutions to stimulate hen longevity. \nINNOZH (lead) together with CAB, EPC,  ANSES, Pehestat finished the survey in BE, NL and FR and developed a detailed report describing the feedback of different actors in the sector. EPC (lead) together with HATO, Pehestat, KULeuven continued the work at semi-commercial scale on optimised dynamic light, alternative hen hybrid and enrichment materials.  Preliminary results were discussed and used to feed and outline the LAP (ACT3.1)\nVMG, EPC, UBern and KULeuven continued the work on improvement and evaluation of the  Veranda Code 2+ system as well as evaluation of space use in the hen house and in the covered veranda (wintergarden). Transregional demonstrations (NL, DE, AT) were held to discuss future implementation of the system. UBern and KULeuven together with EPC continued the work on evaluating hen behaviours: list of (un) wanted behaviours, installation and follow up of cameras at UBern's  and EPC's hen house.  Orbem with input of VMG and other PP's developed a protocol to start the hatchery follow up with detailed description of the voucher scheme protocol (Act5). Follow up in field conditions of in-ovo sexed hens was started. \n\n\nWP2: During this period the work on the OMELETTE Welfare Monitoring Protocol, the continuation of the work towards automatic monitoring of key indicators (lead KULeuven and EPC) as well as the follow up of the semi-commercial validation of a combined data platform (lead VMG and Pehestat) will contribute to the evolution towards pro-active flock follow up. In addition, jointly efforts resulted in the first draft of the PDCA approach and motivational coaching (lead Pehestat), with respect to regional differences. All PPs were involved to give input and feedback on needs specific for their regional situation. PPs jointly prepared the link and transfer of the (preliminary) results to the Longevity Action Plan. The upcoming periods this close interaction between WP2 and WP3 (Act 3.1) will be key for the Longevity Action Plan.\n\n\nWP3: The backbone of the LAP has been jointly drafted by CAB, PEHESTAT and EPC, incorporating input from all PPs from both WP1 and WP2. The current version of the LAP is a dynamic tool that will be updated with new insights . It consists of 3 aspects: guidelines, monitoring and follow-up. The pilot farm selection criteria, frequency and structure of the farm visits were transnationally defined, enabling applicability in all regions. Joint decisions have been made on the data platforms, PDCA  by VMG, PEHESTAT and EPC. Pilot farm call has been launched in different regions (BE, NL, FR).\nHSOS continued the work on the impact analysis. Surveys wered developed with assistance of PPs for content and translation.\nLed by INNOZH, PPS strated the work on the modules for the training schemes. The first training scheme for advisors and secondary school students was held in the field by EPC.  \nEvents to raise awareness of policy makers and general public are planned (12 and 14 September 2025) and PP are jointly developing content to cover challenges amongst regions.  \nContacts were made to re-activate the applied research knowledge exchange platform developed in MiteControl (NWE 756). \n\n\nAll partners contributed to the broad dissemination of the preliminary results through different channels (study days, OMELETTE website, agricultural fair, publications in specialized magazines, LinkedIn, ..). Different target groups were reached with farmers and broad sector being the focus for WP1 and WP2 while for WP3 (local) authorities and consumers are also targeted.

The project is in line with the EU strategy for a sustainable and circular textile sector and the CAP. Hemp is an ecological crop: it needs no pesticides, few fertilizers, no irrigation, it absorbs 1.65 tons of CO2 per ton straw. The crop is innovative. It relies on recently developed machinery that will be improved in the project. All stages of the production have to be optimized in order to be durably implemented. Therefore, the project will set up pilot actions at several stages of the value chain (cultivating, primary processing, data-driven farming, spinning, fabric production). It can count partly on transfer of practices from the flax sector. To achieve its goal, the project will gather the complementary knowledge of the partners, spread over NWE through intense transnational cooperation. It will test recycling solutions and produce eco-designed prototypes for demonstration. It will organize trainings to increase the stakeholder’s capacity. The brands and end-users will be informed through several communication activities to enhance their knowledge on hemp and circular economy. \nThe project aims to bring solutions to:\n- farmers by implementing a profitable crop with a positive impact and by introducing the data-driven to this crop\n- the flax sector with a complementary fibre in order to strengthen this sector. Hemp is a resilient crop that is quite resistant to drought and heavy rains\n- the textile industry in general and the brands, in demand for local and sustainable materials\n- end-users who are also in demand for local and sustainable textile and lack information about natural fibres.","2023-07-01","2026-12-31","(VI-B_NWE_3) Transition towards a place-based circular economy","RSO2.6.

Those trials showed very interesting, unequal results, due to different pedoclimatic conditions, but also due to different soil conditions, harvesting moments, retting degrees, and baling conditions. These results will be analysed and detailed in deliverables of period 2 (D.1.1.2, D.1.1.6). The difference in results enhance the importance of doing these trials on several places and of working together with all the value chain because it will be the occasion to make links too with the next phases which are spinning A.2.1, weaving A.2.2, knitting A.2.3. \nIt appeared that it is more difficult to implement long fibre hemp in DE because of the lack of experience in retting and in growing beside the absence of a flax value chain. However, they were able to produce round bales, then scutched.\n\nImportant achievements of WP1 (lined to A.1.1, A.1.2), are the trials and the protocols related to these trials, the development of a common fact crop sheet, common questionnaires, and a logbook to collect economic data (A.1.7), and the production of a video in several languages. \nAnother important achievement is the improvement of the harvesting machinery A.1.4. \nThe technical advice to stakeholders (A.1.3) started yet, as well as lectures to students (A.1.9). \nThe digital farming (A.1.5) started more slowly than planned because the first significant data will be gathered in summer 2024. \n\nThe first tests of scutching and hackling (A.1.6) showed that hemp is processed less efficiently than flax at this stage of knowledge. The project will help to gain insight into these processing steps of hemp.\nThe consortium started to explore the Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) of EU hemp (A.1.8), knowing that the whole duration of the project will permit to gather only a part of the data necessary to this calculation. This PEF of hemp is crucial for a future commercialisation. \n\nAround all the activities of WP1, an active communication was done throughout period 1 (field visits, demo’s, a booth at the Agronomical Fair of Libramont, a video, etc). \n\nWP2, concentrated on the second part of the value chain which is the further processing of hemp (spinning, weaving, pretreatment, recycling) and with the main objective to improve those steps, started yet in period 1 but depends partly on the results and production of WP1. \nThe first spinning tests started (A.2.1) and there too, hemp appears to be less easy to process than flax. At equivalent fineness, hemp appears to be more fragile, less strong but still weavible; nice yarns have been obtained. \nThe first weaving tests (A.2.2) showed also bigger problems (the yarns broke more) than flax at this stage of knowledge. \n\nThe first pretreatment tests (A.2.4) showed that hemp needs more dye, more energy, more bleach than flax. \nThe consortium knows that a big challenge here is to improve those processing steps to implement this crop into the NWE textile value chain. \nThe consortium jointly defined protocols to assess the quality of the yarn and the fabrics (A.2.1, A.2.2, A.2.3). \nSome yarns were already distributed to some stakeholders (A.2.3, A.2.4) to test those in other conditions. \nA global communication towards the whole value chain has started yet under which a panel discussion at the Forum in Paris organised by CELC (A.2.8). \n\nWP3 is related to the trainings and more general communication. \nThe biggest training (besides training A.3.4 in period 5) is the 3-year training for growers (A.3.1).

["NWE0100129","ResiRiver","Creating Resilient River Systems by Mainstreaming and Upscaling NbS","In North West Europe (NWE), river systems are suffering considerably due to climate change causing massive floods and droughts that significantly affects economic sectors such as shipping and agriculture, recreation opportunities and biodiversity. Nature based Solutions (NbS) have proven to be a sustainable means of fending off those threats and making river systems more climate resilient. They contribute to the EU ambition of creating a Blue Economy and generate climate resilience while providing benefits for human well-being and biodiversity. \n\nNevertheless, implementation (mainstreaming) and wide-scale application (upscaling) of NbS in riverine systems has not yet become a common practice. Though EU and national policies are generally supportive to NbS, decision makers (e.g., politicians, or policy makers) are not always aware of these solutions as a viable option. External (stakeholder) support is occasionally insufficient when project organisations are willing to implement solutions. \n\nThis project addresses these issues and will:\n-\tbuild a solid base of solutions that contribute to mainstreaming through gathering knowledge and experience from full scale NbS pilots in the Rhine, Meuse, Weser, Lys, Dromore and Wantij rivers and from previous experiences in the Rhone and Vesdre in the NWE. \n-\ttransfer knowledge and experience through easily accessible general and locally tailored training packages and (live) demonstrations for both partners and external parties.\n-\tsynthesize knowledge and experiences into easily implementable action plans, guidelines and policies.\n\nThe project is building on a strong partnership that covers river systems Belgium, France, Germany, Ireland and The Netherlands.","2023-07-01","2028-06-30","(VI-B_NWE_1) Smart climate and environmental resilience for NWE territories","RSO2.4.

This was done via i) a content based project start-up in June 2023 ii) an Associated partner meeting in April 2023 and iii) an official project kick-off in October 2023. At the event in June we focused on the process of beginning an Interreg project and building our group dynamics. For the Associated partner meeting, we focused on informing members about the objectives of ResiRiver and began initial discussions on what we can gain from each other. Associated members include organisations from other Interreg NWE countries who are not partners (Luxembourg) , Interreg NS  ( Sweden), Scotland and even the US Army core of Engineers. At the official kick-off event in October, we invited an extended group of partners and associated partners working on NbS and officially presented ResiRiver’ s ambitions . \n\nCommunication work in the first period focused on the establishment of a strategy and structure for project information. This resulted in the development of the following products i) a communication plan, ii) a website, iii) a LinkedIn page and iv) an introductory film for ResiRiver.\n\nIn this period , the work packages have established themselves, sorted out their structure and began working on activities and deliverables. This has resulted in the following overview:\n\nWP1- has worked on development of a baseline study for all study and physical pilot sites (D.1.1.1)  This was done using the IUCN global framework for NbS. Essentially, all pilots were tested against this framework and the results provide an overview of how they individually score i.e. the pilot’s current plans versus what is necessary to classify them as fully fledged NbS. An overview of the scores of all pilots has been made and will be further analyzed in the next period. Further and a bit ahead of time work has begun on the impact of NbS in the basin of the Lys and Vesdre rivers ( D. 1.1.2). Initial data has been collected and the first model simulations have been made\n \n WP2: has developed a needs analysis and conducted the first rounds of needs per partner (D2.1.1). The needs analysis was developed in the form of a questionnaire that posed questions to determine where all partners are in terms of goals, challenges and institutional steps needed to achieve mainstreaming & upscaling of NbS.  \n\nWP3: is in the process of developing a NbS assessment template . In the 1st  period they have worked on this by assimilating the results from the baseline study (D.1.1.1) and evaluating them to determine how they can be used to create the assessment template. The template, when developed will be used to improve NbS plans. In the second period an update of the baseline will be done and this will contribute to the creation of a usable assessment template. \n\nIn the recently completed second period, ResiRiver has taken the initial steps from being a project in a startup phase and has moved on to a fully functional project with activities at partners. Highlights of the last period include i)  a project brainstorm session to begin the new year in january ( Brussels) ii) an associated partner meeting (6march)  and iii) the first partner meeting in Dundalk Ireland. Our Irish partners used the partner meeting as a stimulus to organise and run off a national NbS conference  that saw participation of the Irish minister of environment and all major NbS sectors ( Rivers, coasts, Urban and Rural) . \n\nIn terms of communication, ResiRiver now has a fully functional website ( which features a newsletter with 65 subscribers ) and a LinkedIn page that is updated on a bimonthly basis with project news and pilot information. We are thus  working actively on disseminating the knowledge that is being amassed.\n\nAt a work package level, the following progress has been achieved :\n\nWP1 - has followed up the baseline study (D.1.1.1 ) with an in depth analysis of the results from each pilot . One of the major conclusions from the baseline study was that the IUCN framework is only process based and not sufficient enough to determine how effective pilots are in implementing NbS. The in depth analysis  identifies what needs to be added to the IUCN framework to improve the application of NbS in pilots. Further a stakeholder involvement tool was developed at project partner GRAIE and tested at different project partners ( SYMSAGEL, CoD and Rijkswaterstaat). This tool  will be used for improving the stakeholder participation in all pilots. Work has also continued on modelling the impact of NbS in the Lys and Vesdre rivers. \n\n\nWP2 - has completed the needs analysis started in the first period. An analysis has been made of all leading NbS platforms to determine how the ResiRiver knowledge can be asdded in this arena, a digital excursion has been developed for the Dromore pilot site and the first Resiriver webinar that examines practical aspects of pilot locations has been run off. Further two research papers have been written and submitted for the Riverflow conference .\n\nWP3 - has formed an  Advisory Assessment Group (AAG) . This group is still working on the development of a NbS assessment template. This results from the baseline study have been analysed and the AAG group is now tasked with determining with developing a \"ResiRiver framework\" for NbS \nPeriod 3 has  been marked by continued developments within ResiRiver. Apart from welcoming new colleagues from the partners to the project we had the following highlights 1) two in person WP meetings in Liege and Brussels (in September2024 ) to work on developments in the pilots and an assessment framework  ii) the second partner meeting in Lyon, France .\n\nResiRiver River was also very active in terms of communicating in the last period. This included \n-\tPresenting 2 papers about the project findings thus far at the Riverflow Conference in Liverpool \n-\tPitching the project at the NWE 2024 annual event in Dublin \n-\tRegular updates about project pilots on our website and linked in page\n\nAt a work package level the following has been achieved ;\n\nWP 1 has completed the in dept pilot analysis started in period 2. The finding from this has been used to create a buddy system among pilots where they can learn from each other.  In  an effort to compliment the IUCN analysis that we had conducted in period 2 an additional study had been conducted to determine what parameters need to be added in analysing NbS projects to determine how effective their results will be. \n\nWP 2 – has presented two papers they had prepared in the previous periods at the Riverflow conference(Liverpool) , Also workshops were conducted with pilot owners to discuss terms of reference for a ResiRiver learning platform and to align training tools with pilot needs . The following challenges are foreseen: getting the correct stakeholders on board , resource constraints and policy hurdles . The second webinar was run off in the last period and centered on NbS in tidal systems ( experiences at Rhine Meuse Estuary  and at Bunker bay), Further a new digital excursion was made of a project location with NbS  ( along the Rhone) \n\nWP 3 – one of the first assignments of the Advisory Assessment Group (that had been formed in period 2 )was the development of a so called Light assessment tool to determine how effective the proposed NbS in ResiRiver will be. This light assessment tool has been developed and the first version has been tested at pilots sites Bunker bay(D)  and at Ballybay (Ire). The finalized version of this tool will be completed in the coming period . WP3 has to eventually ensure that the lessons learnt in this project gets embedded in policy. To begin this process we have completed an initial study on the barriers and opportunities involved in linking NbS knowledge with policy makers \n\nIn the last period, a lot of effort was directed towards keeping a grip on the extensive content based developments in work packages and at partners. HIghlights from period 4 included 1) three in person WP meetings in Brussels  to work on peer reviews for the pilots and the development of a NbS guideline  2) the third partner meeting in Lille. The french partners used the meeting in Lille as a stimulus for a local NbS conference and workshop with stakeholders active in this field ( in North France )\n\nWit regards to communication , we did experience a temporary hiccup but the follow activities were carries out ;\n- three papers about the work of ResiRiver were presented at the IAHR 2025 world congress in Singapore \n- a presentation on the knowledge we have gained was presented at the NbS conference TerraenVision in Granada, Spain \n-  updates about the knowledge development in the project were placed on the project website and linked in sites\n- the Irish partners ( LAWPRO and DKiT) organised a second national NbS conference \n- our French partner ( GRAIE) organized a conference , ISRivers 2025 , where they presented work currently being done in this project\n\nAt a work package level the following has been achieved in the last period \n\nWP 1 - has developed a peer review methodology for all pilots .  The idea behind this methodology is to help pilots in their mainstreaming process ( for D 1.2.1, D1.2.3, D 1.2.5, D1.2.6). To date the peer review process has been completed for pilots at SYMSAGEL, the Rijn Meuse Estuary and  the City of Dordrecht . The first results from the peer review is presented in the ResiRiver timeline.  A meeting was alsoconducted to examine and get an update for all the deliverables in this work package for this period .\n\nWP2 - has worked further on  designing the ResiRiver training programs . Training programs will focus on the experiences and perspectives related to implementing NbS in ResiRiver pilots.  A webinar on setting the goals for biodiversity was organised and run off . this was hosted by the pilot gelderse poort.  A new digital excursion of a pilot location was also completed this period , this time for the Lys river.  A serious game tool ( focusing on adaptation and stakeholder engagaement ) was developed in period 3 was further tested in this period \n\nWP3 - the light tool that that was developed  in the previous period has been further refined i.e a workable digital version is now available. Pilots will once again be asked to test this product to determine if it functions properly .

The literature review (A1.1), general inventory of nature areas (A1.2), building a jointly developed strategy template for all nature areas (A1.3), the development of a monitoring framework (A1.4) and the visitor surveys (A1.6) created the basis for the pilots interventions related to the modal shift, routing and nudging. Additionally, a communication strategy was created (A1.11) which will be used throughout the project with the goal of optimizing communication with the target groups.\n\nAlthough most pilot activities (WP2) start off in period 2, the pilots organised a Kick-off of pilot groups during period 1 (A2.1). Common goals, challenges and practical matters, such as a meeting schedule, were discussed, and the pilots started making preparations for the pilot activities that will start in period 2. During period 2, the pilots will start to work on:\n> creating an action plan for facilitating and stimulating a modal shift towards sustainable mobility (A2.4); \n> developing a regional vision on sustainable mobility (A2.7);\n> inventarising entry points (A2.8),\n> inventarising and (re)desiging route-networks (A2.9)\n> developing a communication and marketing concept for nudging in nature-based tourism;\n> designing a package of measures for \"Nudging of sustainable tourism development\".\nThe activities part of WP1 and 2 carried out during period 1, such as the literature review, general inventory, communication strategy, and the (partly finished) user needs assessment, created a solid base for the pilot implementations during the following project periods.\n\nAn important aspect of the MONA project is building capacity for stakeholders across NWE through a guidebook, joint training scheme and agenda setting activities. Another highlight of this project period includes the work done on the user needs assessment, which creates a clear overview for all project partners on the actual needs of users in terms of capacity building through the Guidebook (D3.3.2), the training scheme (A4), and the capacity building plan and training scheme (D3.4.2). The User needs report will be finalised in period 2, with input from the associated organisations.\n\nHaving finished the activities and deliverables reported on in this first project report, the project partnership is on-schedule with the work plan and well-prepared to implement the activities part of period 2.\n\nDuring period 2 of MONA, a lot of steps were taken in project implementation. Deliverable 1.1.1 Literature review from WP1 was finalised during this period, along with activity A1.1. This finalised deliverable provides a knowledge basis for many other activities that will be executed in the project. Also, the Jointly developed strategy template nature areas (D1.3.1) was created and shared with all project partners. This will provide a basis for the nature areas to create their individual nature area strategies in period 3 (draft version) and period 9 (final version). Additionally, associated organisations were involved and provided the needed input for POLIS to finalise the User Needs Assessment (D3.1.1).\n\nFurthermore, several new activities started during this project period. BUAS and KUL started working on Activity 1.5 (Potential and general market intelligence). KUL and BUAS prepared a survey and contacted potential research companies to take care of data collection during period 3.\n\nBased on the work that was done in period 1, pilot activities A2.4 (Pilot A), A2.7, A2.8, A2.9 (Pilot B), A2.11 (Pilot C) and A2.12 (Pilot C) were able to start in period 2, according to the work plan:\n>The Pilot A partners, who focus on the modal shift in nature areas, started working on creating an Action plan for facilitating and stimulating a modal shift towards sustainable mobility (A2.4). A template for this Action plan was created. In period 3, each of the Pilot A partners (NPUH, GKH & PNRMR) will develop an Action plan tailored to their nature park. \n>The Pilot B partners (VB, NPV & TPA), who focus on r(e)routing, started in period 2 with the inventarisation of entry points (A2.8), as well as the inventarisation and (re)design of route-networks (A2.9). \n>The Pilot C partners (TZS, PNRMR & PNRSE), started working in period 2 on the Development of a communication and marketing concept for nudging in nature-based tourism (A2.11) and the design of a package with measures \"Nudging for sustainable tourism development\". Both of these activities will be finished in period 3, along with the Nudge-theory based Communication and marketing Concept (D2.11.1), the Storytelling Concept (D2.11.2), the Input for Guidebook on nudging in sustainable tourism (D2.12.1), and the Package of nudging measures per nature area D2.12.2).\n\nIn terms of events, one of the highlights of the MONA project in period 2 was the organisation of the Sustainable Tourism Mobilty Forum by BUAS. At this conference, the project was presented to the academic and professional networks and to partners and associate organisations.\nWe hightlight the following main achievements for period 3: \n> Many activities within work package 1 have been finished during this period and many deliverables have been delivered which form the basis for activities later in the MONA project. For example  a report on the current challenges and opportunities in each nature area (D.1.2.1) and the monitoring framework (D.1.4.1) \n> As part of work package 2 concrete actions were carried out at the pilot locatoins leading to for example input for the guidebook on nudging in sustainable tourism (D.2.12.1) and an inventarisation of entry points and a set of selection criteria (D.2.8.1)\n> The capacity building program which is part of work package 3 has been started with a traning session during the partner meeting in Reims and the first online webinar \nWe highlight the following main achievements for period 4: \n> After conducting the visitor and residents survey in the previous period as part of WP1, in period 4 the MONA partners delivered a report on the main outcomes of the market survey (D1.5.1). The objective of this report is to enhance the nature areas knowledge of the existing and new categories of visitors they can attract as well as to improve their understainding on barriers and possibilities for the sustainable modal shift to the nature. Apart from that, the MONA partners continued working on the activities already started in previous  period (A1.3, A1.6, A1.7, A1.8, A1.9, A1.10, A1.12).\n> As all pilot activities has been started since the previous period, all pilot partners are now implementing according to the work plan.

["NWE0100144","CIRCULAR RENO","Developing biobased & recycled reused material solutions for retrofit","Limiting carbon intensive raw material use in the construction sector is a key priority all through NWE and should not only be dealt with in new built but also for the growing deep energy retrofit market of homes using place based circular solutions.\n\nCircular Reno implements 4 scalable biobased deep energy retrofit packages of a facade and roof system for collective & individual housing using different kinds of bio-based materials: straw, wood, bio polymer, miscanthus. The packages will be used in retrofits on 4 sites on in total 88 homes in social housing to scale its use and to facilitate public authorities to improve market conditions. \n\nTo supply the materials for these retrofit components the project will sets up 6 place based cost-effective value chains involving farmers, prefab industrials for construction, builders, social housing organisations & public authorities in 4 countries: NL (3), IR (1), FR (1), & DE (1). \n\nTransnational cooperation is key to build the proper supporting packages to enable production of local biobased raw materials for construction by farmers, manufacturing of bio-based facade & roof panels by prefab industrial. Modelling & decision-making tools will be developed to support the uptake of these emerging solutions by all value chain stakeholders. Farm, factory & renovated house visits, as well as workshop, MOOC & training will be organised to ensure a buy in at scale in BE, DE, FR, IR, & NL. Specific efforts will be made to improve building regulation policies at regional, national & EU levels, to assess carbon storage economic valuation to boost project economics & to develop a forecast tool for regional construction material mix supporting policy makers.\n\nOur project will be implemented by 4 types of partners from 5 NWE countries (BE, DE, FR, IR, & NL): 4 market development teams, 4 social housing organisation, 4 industrial SME and 5 facilitators with expertise that will reinforce the consortium.","2023-07-01","2026-12-31","(VI-B_NWE_3) Transition towards a place-based circular economy","RSO2.6.

We have organised several meetings, events and site visits including the kickoff event in Lille, the first live partner days in the Netherlands, site visits to our partner Miscancell and Rc Panels and an online partner meeting (WP3). In this way, the consortium got a kickstart, shared best practices and the cooperation between project partners was aligned. \n\nAs a result of the collective effort of the project partners, work has been done on all deliverables for Period 1. Not all deliverables have been achieved however (D2.1.1 and D2.2.1). Work has been partially achieved on the other deliverables for period 1. A detailled state of play of these deliverables will be provided with the second project report. \nDue to the collective efforts of Building Balance, Neo-Eco and Miscancell, one prototype of a miscanthus panel has been made, which will be used further in the process to retrofit houses at the pilot site. Besides product testing, also the pilot sites itself have been assed in the four Interreg NWE member states where one pilot site is planned. Besides an assesment of the baseline situation, also discussions with leaseholders have been held about the potential for biobased retrofitting. Last but not least, the communication strategy for the project has been finalised based on the input of Global Energiesprong Alliance, Kore Retrofit, Building Balance, GreenFlex, Cluster Eco-construction and LEG/DENA. \n\nBesides progress on the achievement of the deliverables for Period 1, work on other deliverables (and with it vital parts of the Circular Reno project) has occured as well. Building Balance has for instance worked on setting up three regional circular eco systems in the provincie of Noord-Brabant. In the southeast of Brabant, a local circular eco system is focussing on straw production to be used in isolation material for local retrofits. Another local circular eco system in the mid of Brabant is still chosing between hemp and miscanthus production. The third regional eco system in the West of Brabant is still in the set-up phase. All three value chains have farmers, agriculture contractors, builders, municipalities and housing associations in the value chain coalition. The province of Brabant and the Rabobank (the biggest agriculture bank in NL) are also fully on board and help facilitate the proces. In this way, the achievement of Deliverable 1.1.1., which is scheduled for the second reporting period, comes closer. This is also the case for Deliverable 1.4.1., which ensures the creation and availbility of guidelines on crop selection, processing and procurement. Building Balance has made a morfological overview of all potential biobased building value chains.  \n\nIn addition, other activities relevant for the project have been undertaken during this period. For instance, meetings, discussions and training schemes with the local populas have been held to raise awereness about bio-based building. Current lead partner Building Balance has for instance invited 60 farmers, 60 builders and 20 housing assocations for meetings on this topic. \nThe partners have made significant strides in advancing biobased construction solutions across various regions in Europe, particularly in Brabant, Hauts-de-France, and Ireland. Building Balance has successfully established three regional ecosystems in Brabant, providing vital support to Circular Reno Partners in initiating similar ecosystems in their respective areas. Notably, they have secured 31 signed declarations from housing associations across these regions, committing to the use of biobased materials, indicating strong engagement from local stakeholders.\n\nNeo-Eco conducted extensive research to identify and analyze bio-based insulation sectors in the Hauts-de-France region. Their comparative study has set the stage for developing straw insulation tailored to local needs, and collaborations with local partners have resulted in a clearer understanding of the region’s bio-insulation landscape. At the same time, Miscancell has focused on enhancing miscanthus-based insulation materials and panel boards. Initial prototypes have undergone significant technical improvements, leading to new designs scheduled for production later this year. \n\nThe project has also seen the successful completion of pilot initiatives. Wonion completed a pilot project by insulating a house’s roof with straw. While the technical implementation was effective, feedback from residents highlighted challenges related to reduced attic space. Airpacks developed bio-based insulation solutions for retrofitting, achieving significant energy performance improvements in test houses. Their innovative prefabricated façade and roofing panels are set to revolutionize deep retrofitting processes by enabling faster and less invasive installations.\n\nMoreover, Kore Retrofit has built a comprehensive stakeholder network in Ireland. They organized training seminars to promote biobased construction solutions, laying crucial groundwork for a sustainable supply chain in the region. The collaborative nature of the Circular Reno project has been instrumental in achieving these milestones. By bringing together diverse expertise and resources from various partners across Europe, the project has fostered knowledge exchange and innovation, leading to the development of cutting-edge biobased materials and solutions. \n\nFurthermore, DENA and Uni Bonn established regular communication channels among German partners, leading to the preparation of essential guidelines and deliverables that support value chain development in Germany. A robust communication strategy has been implemented, including social media guidelines and visual materials to increase project visibility and stakeholder engagement, with a Circular Reno showcase page on LinkedIn now sharing updates and achievements.\n\nIt’s also important to note that while much progress has been made within countries, the focus is now expanding. Following the Partner Days at the end of September, collaboration within the Transnational Working Groups (TWG) has intensified, reflecting an upward trend in cross-border cooperation.\nDespite the complexity of the project and challenges such as partner dropouts and organizational changes, significant progress has been made. All partners are working hard, and tangible impact is being seen on a transnational scale. \nTo address the management issues encountered, several actions were taken. These included:\n-\tProactive partner engagement and onboarding: Following the dropouts and delays, the project team acted to onboard a new partner, ensuring continuity and minimizing disruptions. \n-\tEnhanced communication and coordination: Regular meetings and Partner Days were organized, fostering stronger collaboration and transparency across all teams. This allowed for issues to be identified and addressed.\n-\tReshuffling responsibilities: Tasks were redistributed between the work package leaders (RES, DENA and BB) and the project management. \n\nHere are some key achievements of the project: \nNetherlands: The second half of 2024 focused on growing agro-based insulation materials and conducting the first pilot projects in the construction industry. As part of Deliverable D.2.2.6, Building Balance and Wonion worked together to incorporate miscanthus straw into a real-life application. This effort culminated in the creation of the Biobased Pavilion \"De Marke”, which serves as both a meeting location,  and a test site. The pavilion demonstrates the practical application of miscanthus straw in construction and is open to visitors for overnight stays and events. Miscancell developed a 100% lignin-based binder, exceeding expectations, and completed Deliverable 2.2.1 ahead of schedule. RC Panels is nearing national certification for their 2.0 panel and has started steps toward international certification. Energiesprong is developing an engaging MOOC program with DENA and Uni Bonn. \nGermany: Uni Bonn was in the lead for D.1.4.1, where they developed a pdf document that helps choosing which value chain to set up (a crop selection guide, a processing selection guide, a building material selection guide and a procurement guide for biobased facades and roof systems).  The contents of the documents were set in close collaboration with the DENA and they also received input from all other countries (NL, IR, FR). The document was finalised in period 3. \nIreland: The Irish team has conducted extensive research, benefiting other countries in the project. They have identified key stakeholders, formed strong collaborations, and are preparing for significant strides despite limited resources. They are exploring grass insulation and wool-based solutions in discussions with Belgian factories. The Irish government has requested further research on local raw materials for construction.\nFrance: A shared certification framework (SEC prototype) is being developed, benefiting all stakeholders. The first multi-story bio-based building solution using Avro is in development, and early results are promising.

["NWE0100037","IB-Green","Industrial and Business Parks – climate resilient & fit for future","IB-Green aims at reducing heat stress in industrial and business parks (IBP) by developing green and blue infrastructure (GBI). In NWE, existing IBPs take up 15-20% of the settlement area. IBPs are highly paved (80-90%) without green infrastructure and raise the heat stress in urbanised areas. Local greening and adaptation plans rarely target the potential of GBI in IBPs for climate change adaptation and biodiversity improvement. Barriers are lack of knowledge, complex economic needs in IBPs and necessity of private action. As drivers for the economic wealth of NWE, IBPs need to be urgently developed into sustainable areas to reduce climate and economic risks for the enterprises and on city level.\nNWE-wide, GBIs is increasingly implemented in residential and inner city areas. IB-Green will transfer and further develop successful measures from these areas, e.g. multifunctional use of space, for the specific needs of IBPs, combined with innovative processes of triggering private business owners to act.\nThe partners from public authorities, IBP operators and practical science institutions are in charge of creating strategies, building capacities, and managing and transforming existing IBPs. The partnership from all NWE member states will combine complementary experiences and ideas to jointly develop and deliver a transnational multi-level strategy and action plans for more multi-benefit GBI in existing IBPs with optimized public-private interplay. Pilot investments and activation processes throughout NWE will demonstrate transferable solutions for more GBI in IBPs. About 1200 enterprises will benefit from decreased ecological and economic risks, over 25000 employees and residents will profit from healthier working and living spaces. A jointly developed toolbox will gather experiences and showcases, transnational training courses will build capacities of over 50 LAs and companies from NWE.
