EFIB NEWSLETTER APRIL 2021 Special Earth day

This year, despite the situation that we continue to share, we are in luck. The European Federation of Soil and water Bioengineering celebrates 25 years :We want to celebrate this very important anniversary, reinforcing and reissuing our commitment to the planet and its
current challenges, in a special way with the necessary restoration and recovery of our ecosystems through this discipline so exciting, Soil and Water Bioengineering. Authentic NATURE-BASED SOLUTION, in which plants become our living material for construction and regeneration.
We are preparing various activities for our anniversary: .we are active collaborators in in several international events such as SBEE (Bern), Lasosu (China) SERE (Alicante) AND AEP-EFLA (Granada), We plan to organize webinars and meetings in each country and we hope to be able to meet again in one excursion to visit works in Spain and France at october. Enjoy our News.


Congratulations Earth -Congratulations EFIB

International Forum on Land Degradation, Soil Conservation and Sustainable Development, 2021 (LASOSU2021)

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by all UN Member States in 2015, provides a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet through the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The goals call for a deep international collaboration for the understanding of the main global problems and the search of strategic solutions, giving great importance to environmental questions. In this regard, severe soil degradation (e.g. soil erosion) has become one of the most critical phenomena affecting the Earth’s surface. The International Forum on Land Degradation, Soil Conservation and Sustainable Development, 2021 (LASOSU2021) will be held on 21-23 August 2021, in Dalian, China, to provide an avenue for scientists to discuss pressing issues on soil loss facing our profession and society.

European Green Deal Call

Nell’ambito della strategia del Green Deal Europeo, la Commissione Europea ha pubblicato ufficialmente i Draft topics  della prossima call di Horizon 2020 sul tema: un’iniziativa di finanziamento specificatamente dedicata alle tematiche contenute nel piano che ambisce a rendere l’Europa il primo continente a impatto climatico zero entro il 2050.

Il bando, la cui apertura è prevista per metà settembre, finanzierà progetti tesi a produrre  risultati tangibili da sviluppare in tempi relativamente brevi e soluzioni concrete, in particolare:

·       applicazioni pilota, progetti dimostrativi e prodotti innovativi;
·       innovazioni per una migliore governance della transizione verde e digitale;
·       innovazione sociale e della catena del valore.
Oltre allo sviluppo tecnologico e alla sua dimostrazione, la call incoraggia l’innovazione sociale e la sperimentazione di nuovi modi di coinvolgimento della società civile per responsabilizzare i cittadini.

La call sarà strutturata in 11 “AREE”, di cui otto tematiche e tre trasversali:

La scadenza per inviare contributi è fissata fino al 3 GIUGNO 2020.
