"Second application after have been placed in 1st Reserve in 2019 by the EU Evaluating Panel. We have implemented requested corrections for final approval: 1/ identifying the 243 endangered species subject of study from the European Red List - IUCN and the UN official report. An immense work of several months done for free by our 3 environmental partners. Please see Irish, Spanish and Croatian list attached in the Annexes. 2/ We have entered Multiplier Events as requested. 3/ We have amplified the language learning element as requested. 4/ We have reduced the Intellectual Outputs to 6 as requested and finally 5/ we have improved coordination under the Supervision of applicant GRETB as requested.Introduction of a new R&D subject “Climate Change studies and research in the European Union” in the curricula of the applicant schools. Each of the 3 participant schools in all 3 countries will have a local partner, a charity with a proven record in environmental research. This charity will provide the schools with a selection of endangered land, water and air species subject of study and Records production and a method of researching them. The school research of mentioned selected endangered species will be followed and monitored with a continuous plan of formal evaluation where both students and participating teachers will obtain a grade. Also, each of the 3 participant schools will have their local City-Hall as an associated partner for dissemination and policy recommendations purposes aside the collaboration of the E.U. Culture Capitals 2020-2021-2022 and 2023.In numbers: 27 selected endangered biological species studied per school a year and each one subject of an individual Record with an innovative corrective action proposed for its preservation.Amounting a total of 81 species researched and 81 Records published in all the 3 participant countries on a yearly basis and 243 at project's completion. We will follow our master formula A+B+C=D in order to reach our yearly target (3 quarterly school evaluations prior to our Intellectual Outputs publication and broadcast during the last week of each course) but also to reach our main and agreed Final Result in 2023: our ""Erasmus + European sample on Climate Change"" merging all Records and audiovisuals previously produced in a final product to be massively disseminated and stored for good. All with a scientific input done by our environmental partners sampling the overall E.U. Climate Change current status and proposed corrective actions with three very differentiate European climates: North-Atlantic/Ireland; Mid-Atlantic/Galicia-Spain and Mediterranean/Croatia. Objective A. Innovation in formal education at international level.New R&D subject.Objective B. Awareness and policy recommendations. Aiming quantifiable corrective action on Climate Change. Objective C. Social inclusion by strengthening the teaching profession as a social agent with a sustainable investment. “Everyone not aware and acting it is excluded”. The grant returns to the tax payers as origin source.Target groups and impact:1/ School. 15 students per participating school a year, 45 a year in all 3 participating countries and amounting a total of 135 students at project’s completion alongside a panel of 25 participating teachers fully committed.2/ Scientific. Our 3 environmental partners, one per country, feeding the new 3 schools subject with topics for R&D which will also be our linkage to the scientific community due to their activities and volunteers network and have committed their highly established scientific magazines and webs for our Intellectual Outputs dissemination. Magazines distributes, web hits and TV share for impact measurement.3/ Public Administration. Galway, Rijeka and Rianxo City-Halls, alongside Gaway & Rijeka E.U. Capitals of Culture 2020, have issued a letter of support as associated partners to the project acting as receivers and transmitters of our studies' Policy Recommendations on Climate Change.They will also be disseminating agents and headquarters of public meetings and media presentations during the LTTAs and TPMs. Policies effectively changed due to our proposed corrective actions for impact measurement. After the initial input of the 2020 EU Culture Capitals Galway and Rijeka, both cities with schools participating in this project, we will follow up reaching the EU Culture Capitals 2021, 2022 an 2023 for them to disseminate our project as part of their official programmes.4/ General public at local, regional, national and international level. Reached through our Webs, news, events, and Intellectual Output #A# - Guide and Final Sample (Latin, Gaelic, English, Galician and Croatian) and Intellectual Output #B# - Audiovisual. Hits, magazines distribution levels, attendance and TV share for impact measurement. We have got a historic agreement among the TV channels TG4-Ireland (Gaelic and English) & TVG-Spain (Galician) and HRTV-Croatia (Croatian)."

Continuing population and consumption growth are driving global food demand, with agricultural activity increasing to keep pace. Europe has a major agricultural waste problem, generating some 700 million tonnes of waste annually. There is an urgent need and huge opportunity to address the efficient use of agricultural wastes, co-products and by-products (AWCB) towards delivering sustainable value chains in the farming and processing sectors. As such, AgroCycle will convert low value agricultural waste into highly valuable products, achieving a 10% increase in waste recycling and valorisation by 2020. This will be achieved by developing a detailed and holistic understanding of the waste streams and piloting a key number of waste utilisation/valorisation pathways. It will bring technologies and systems from ~TRL4 to ~TRL7 within the 3 years of the project. A post-project commercialisation plan will bring commercially promising technologies/systems to TRL8 and TRL9, ensuring AgroCycle will have an enduring impact by achieving sustainable use of AWCB both inside and outside the agricultural sector, leading to the realisation of a Circular Economy. AgroCycle addresses wastes from several agricultural sectors: wine, olive oil, horticulture, fruit, grassland, swine, dairy and poultry. The AgroCycle consortium is a large (25) multi-national group (including China) comprising the necessary and relevant multi-actors (i.e. researchers; companies in the technical, manufacturing, advisory, retail sectors (Large and SMEs); lead users; end users; and trade/producer associations) for achieving the project’s ambitions goals. Farming’s unique regional (rural) location means that AgroCycle will help reduce the EU’s Innovation Divide and address the Regional Smart Specialisation Strategies for each partner country: impact will be Regional with National and International dimensions. The presence of three partners from China ensures international synergies and a global impact.

O-CEI overarching goal is to pilot the imperative of accelerating the uptake and upscaling of innovative Cloud-Edge-IoT solutions, strengthening Europe’s competitiveness and open strategic autonomy by orchestrating cross-domain data sharing, minimising energy footprint, stimulating multi-sided marketplaces, and promoting open standards for virtualisation and interoperability. For doing so, O-CEI will feed with such innovative technologies, and a comprehensive framework, to eight multidimensional real-world pilots framed in key strategic sectors: electricity grid, electromobility, software-defined vehicles, agrifood and agriculture, logistics and urban environments. It will swiftly create and implement innovative solutions across the cloud continuum; and effectively address the needs of existing and emerging individual and cross-sector business value chains. By designing blueprints and providing utilities beyond the SotA, O-CEI will help project stakeholders (and 32 Open Call awardees) to achieve challenging objectives. All pilots are formed by technical and stakeholder actors covering the necessary value chains, having an outstanding cross-domain unifying thread: energy flexibility.
