1 Horizon 2020 SC5 Work Programme 2015 Call 'Waste: A Resource to Recycle, Reuse and Recover Raw Materials' Call 'Water Innovation: Boosting its value for Europe' Brussels, 17 November 2014 Panagiotis Balabanis European Commission Research and Innovation

2 Waste: A resource to recycle, reuse and recover raw materials

3 Waste: A resource to recycle, reuse and recover raw materials Rationale: Major opportunity for European society o environmental protection, reducing GHG o economic growth and job creation o access of valuable raw materials Capitalise on EU strengths ->EU as market leader ( 400 billion/year) Innovation is key ->whole production & consumption cycle, across all sectors of economic activities, with a better organisation of different actors, involvement of all stakeholders including citizens Supporting different EU initiatives -> Voices, Public-Private Partnerships on Sustainable Process Industries (SPIRE PPP) and on Bio-Based Industries, contributing to the Resource Efficiency Road Map

4 Waste: A resource to recycle, reuse and recover raw materials - Areas covered towards a zero waste society Waste-4d-2015: Towards near-zero waste at European and global level Raw materials partnership (Coordination and support action) Waste-6a/6b-2015: Promoting eco-innovative waste management and prevention as part of sustainable urban development a) Eco-innovative solutions (Innovation actions) b) Eco-innovative strategies (Research and innovation actions Waste : Ensuring sustainable use of agricultural waste, co-products and by products (Research and innovation actions)

5 Water innovation: Boosting its value for Europe

6 Water innovation: Boosting its value for Europe Rationale: Boost EU competitiveness, growth and jobs in EU water sector Position Europe as a global market leader in water related innovative solutions Reinforcing Innovation in EU Water sector (innovation capacity and market uptake of RTD results) will contribute to major EU and global objectives Support the needs of relevant EU water, innovation and resource efficient policies, water related initiatives and international commitments: EIP Water, EIP Agriculture, JPI on Water, SPIRE PPP, IPCC, Rio+20, etc.
