Study “ERA knowledge ecosystems” and accompanying survey on “jobs in research: skills, social security and working conditions”

Published on | 4 years ago

Programmes Horizon Europe

The European Commission Directorate-General for Research and Innovation (DG R&I) has launched a study to gain “a better understanding of, first, knowledge ecosystems across the European Research Area (ERA) and, second, the interactions between its actors (both organisations and individuals) with a view of formulating policy recommendations for the strengthening of these ecosystems.” The study runs from January 2021 to April 2022.

As part of this study a questionnaire is currently open on the topic “Jobs in research: skills, social security and working conditions”. This questionnaire is addressed to researchers and remains open until 17 May. The questionnaire can be found here as well as an introduction and endorsement letter from the European Commission on the background and aims of the two-year study.

RUSTICA - Converting organic residues into bio-based fertiliser products

The RUSTICA project obtained funding under Horizon 2020, more in particular under the topic ‘Closing nutrient cycles’.  RUSTICA focuses on demonstration and implementation of circular bio-based nutrient valorisation chains, focusing on waste from the fruit and vegetable agro-food system. The project kicked off in 2021 and will run until 2024. It will use a strong multi-actor approach to co-create both socio-economic and technological knowledge in four case study regions in Europe and one in Colombia. The Flanders-based company DRANCO is one of the project partners and acts as technical project manager for the entire project. DRANCO participates in the project to develop its own technologies, to network and to help make the transition to a more circular based economy.
