RURBANIVE Open Call encourages technology & service providers to develop and apply their own RUE within the 6 RURBANIVE domains, increasing the number of RUEs available to end-users: i) improving logistics, and shortening value chains, ii) ecosystem and biodiversity restoration, iii) regional circular bioeconomy development, iv) user engagement, empowerment, society and territorial awareness, v) culture, landscape and heritage access and promotion & vi) enhanced mobility.
RURBANIVE through this Open Call (OC) will provide Financial Support to Third Parties (FSTP) as a mechanism to increase the number of RUEs available to end-users (e.g. actors from the rural-urban environments such as Local & Regional Administrations, Civil Society, Cooperatives, Associations, NGOs, Local Action Groups, Chambers and other Trade representative organizations, etc.) and accelerate network expansion through the technology & service providers (e.g. entities such as SMEs and other private pro-profit or non-profit organisations, technological spin-offs, research institutions etc.).
The Open Call will result in at least 6 sub-projects (max 100k euro per sub-project – with the funds dispersed amongst the consortia members, with at least one technology & service provider and at least one end-user, as mentioned above). In total, a 600k euro budget will be allocated to financial support to third parties.
