ProgrammesEurope is experiencing rapid warming leading to significant climate risks, including heat-related health issues, crop stress from drought, water scarcity, and flooding. To address these challenges, the European Commission's EU Mission on Adaptation to Climate Change is seeking innovative solutions. That is why they have joined forces with the EIC accelerator team to publish a challenge that is looking for start-ups and scale-ups who can provide solutions to tackle these climate risks.
This Challenge competition focuses more in particular on deep tech solutions including nature-based solutions (NbS) and engineering approaches reinforced by AI and other Key Enabling Technologies (KET).
You can find more information about the call and the application procedure on this website. Please note there is an info day on friday morning 14 November about all the EIC accelerator challenges. You can watch in online via this webpage.

The YoPA project, ‘a youth-centred preventive action approach towards co-created implementation of socially and physically activating environmental interventions’ obtained funding from Horizon Europe’s Health Cluster. The project addresses the multifaceted challenges of physical inactivity and health inequalities through a unique participatory approach. The project places teenagers between 12 and 18 years old in vulnerable situations at the forefront of the intervention process. The Institute of Tropical Medicine is a partner in the project and will conduct a Realist Evaluation to understand how youth co-creation contributes to improved adolescent health and well-being in four cities in Denmark, Netherlands, Nigeria and South Africa. By integrating its results and sharing its approach in an open access Toolbox, ITM aims to contribute to fostering sustainable, youth-led solutions for healthier urban environments.
