Call for Ideas - Pilot/demonstration projects HORIZON 2020

As part of the work programme 2016-2017 of the societal challenge 5 "Climate Action, Environment, Resource Efficiency and Raw Materials" (SC5) of the Horizon 2020 framework programme, the European Commission intends to open calls for large-scale pilot/demonstration projects. This builds on the advice from the Societal Challenge 5 Advisory Group and on the response to a public consultation in spring 2014[1] for preparing a scoping paper for the 2016 - 2017 work programme.
 
The present call for ideas for pilot/demonstration projects is intended to (i) help identifying which research and innovation areas attract most interest from innovators and innovation users (e.g. industries, financial actors, academia, research and innovation players, private or public entities, regions, cities, citizens and their organisations...) and (ii) stimulate developers and providers of innovative solutions to engage in projects of greater ambition in terms of scope, scale and impact.
