EC celebrates start of 73 Horizon 2020 projects funded under Green Deal

At a dedicated event on 27 October 2021, the European Commission celebrates the start of the 73 projects selected for funding under the Horizon 2020 European Green Deal Call worth €1 billion. This last call under Horizon 2020 is a step towards achieving the European Green Deal objectives, contributing to the EU’s response to the twin climate and biodiversity crises while accelerating a fair and sustainable recovery from the coronavirus pandemic.

Five of the 73 projects selected for funding are taking centre stage at the event to present their objectives, expected outcomes and explain how these will affect our everyday lives. They cover areas such as the protection of freshwater habitats, the prevention and management of wildfires, sustainable and healthy school meals, green and smarter airports and green hydrogen to decarbonise industrial sites.
