LivingSoiLL Opens Applications for Collaborations with Living Labs in France and Poland

The LivingSoiLL project has opened applications for the co-development and implementation of innovative solutions for sustainable soil management in the Living Labs of Loire Valley & Beaujolais (France) and Grójec (Poland). INOVA+ is a partner in this Horizon Europe-funded project, under the Soil Mission.

Applications open until May 5!

The project invites landowners, farm managers, researchers, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), public administrations, and civil society representatives to submit proposals to establish at least one experimental site. Applications may be submitted by a single entity or a consortium of two entities registered in France or Poland. Proposals must include a detailed description of the experimental site, current soil challenges, planned activities, expected results, and a detailed budget.

With a total funding of €400,000, LivingSoiLL will provide financial support to at least five beneficiaries, who will work together with the project’s interdisciplinary network and contribute to the overarching goals of the Soil Mission. Diversity and innovation are key values of LivingSoiLL, and applications from diverse profiles are highly encouraged. Selected participants will have the opportunity to engage in the co-design and implementation of innovative strategies for soil health.

Applications will be evaluated based on four main criteria: alignment with the project’s objectives; innovation potential and impact; applicants’ skills and capacities; cost-effectiveness.

The deadline for submission is May 5, 2025, at 17:00 CET. Proposals must be submitted electronically via the online application form: https://ec.europa.eu/eusurvey/runner/LivingSoiLL_2025_OC. Detailed guidelines for applicants are available at: https://livingsoill.eu/open-calls/.
