Applicants should propose use cases that address their specific challenges and objectives, aligning with the goals of iMERMAID, and demonstrating the feasibility, replicability, and scalability of the iMERMAID solutions.
In total, €400,000 will be invested in Open Call #1 to fund and support 4 associated region projects that will be part of the journey.
iMERMAID will develop and apply innovative solutions that prevent, monitor and remediate the Mediterranean against Contaminants of Emerging Concern (CoEC). The project will deploy and demonstrate the developed solutions in various use cases, providing the basis for their future scale up addressing chemical pollution from its source to its destination.
Through its open call, the project aims to engage with at least five ‘associated regions’ outside the iMERMAID consortium to demonstrate the feasibility, replicability, and scalability of these solutions in new areas.
These associated regions will receive funding and technical advisory services to prepare roadmaps, plans, and projects aimed at preventing, eliminating, and remediating chemical pollution.
- Four demonstration projects will be funded in the associated regions of the Mediterranean.
- Total Grant: 400.000 EUR
- Per Application: 100.000 EUR
- Support Program Duration: 9 Months
Activities that can be funded through the open Call:
- Activities to remove contaminants
- Pollutant monitoring actions
- Remediation actions for specific pollutants
- Definition of regional pollutants and required actions for remediation
- Dissemination of the activities and results, and the communication process
