Sustainable solutions
The Netherlands is facing important challenges, such as:
- Mobility: design traffic space smartly and safely, add missing links in the network, improve sustainable transport and enable information exchange between systems and parties (interoperability)
- Climate: Reducing CO2 emissions and adapting the environment to climate change (mitigation and adaptation)
- Energy: from fossil fuels to green energy
- Circular economy: keeping raw materials and products in circulation for longer
- Biodiversity: preserve and restore nature and biodiversity
- Healthcare: improving (digital) access to healthcare, also in rural areas
To solve these challenges, governments, companies, NGOs and knowledge institutions must work together.
Financial aid can make all the difference here.
European programs
You can receive a subsidy for these tasks from various European programs for research, innovation, experiments, implementation or policy exchange.
What are the odds? What should you take into account? And above all: how can the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO) help you?
The program
Four European programs are organizing this information meeting:
DRIFT-director Derk Loorbach opens the event as a keynote speaker. DRIFT stands for Dutch Research Institute For Transitions, a leading research institute about and for sustainability transitions in Rotterdam.
You will then be introduced to projects from the four programs that contribute to the above-mentioned tasks. The project executors discuss this with each other and with the audience.
After the (networking) lunch there are 2 rounds of sessions that take place simultaneously. In those sessions, the programs tell in smaller groups what opportunities they offer. This is interesting for anyone who is also involved in the aforementioned (and other) substantive themes and transition tasks. When you sign up for this meeting, you also specify which session you want to follow.
We close with a drink. There you can continue discussing your project ideas and networking.
