The EU Mission on Adaptation to Climate Change is organizing an online matchmaking event focusing on two demonstration topics in the upcoming 2025 calls.
This interactive event aims to encourage collaboration among regions, local authorities, and research and innovation (R&I) stakeholders. The main goal is to facilitate the creation of partnerships for project proposals under the 2025 call of the EU Mission on Adaptation to Climate Change.
Agenda
- Welcome and opening remarks
- Overview of existing Mission Adaptation calls
- Experiences from existing demonstration sites
- Matchmaking session
- Role and support of National Contact Points (NCPs)
- Wrap-up and closing remarks
This event focuses on the following topics. Please check the link for further information:
- HORIZON-MISS-2025-01-CLIMA-03: Demonstrating solutions to help hotspots in coastal regions adapt to climate change
- HORIZON-MISS-2025-01-CLIMA-04: Testing and demonstrating innovative solutions to improve resilience to extreme heat, including addressing health impacts
Participants will take part in engaging breakout sessions, designed to empower regions to present their climate adaptation challenges and seek out-of-the-box solutions. Meanwhile, R&I actors will have the opportunity to scout for suitable demonstration sites, fostering a synergy that sparks innovation.
Also, a database of regions, outlining their project interests and challenges, will be circulated within the Mission's network, streamlining the process of consortium formation and ensuring effective collaboration.
To prepare for the event we recommend joining the EU Missions info days on the 22nd and 23rd of May, and the Horizon Europe Missions Brokerage Event on the 26th and 27th of May to get all information needed on the upcoming Horizon Europe calls, ensuring you're informed and ready to engage in the matchmaking activities.
