TECO Project 2014 - 2018
Technological Eco - Innovations for the Quality Control and the Decontamination of Polluted Waters and Soils
CALL FOR PROPOSAL - CLOSED AS THE PROJECT ENDED IN DECEMBER 2018!
The project TECO has been approved within the EU cross action with India dedicated to support research and innovation partnership.
The impact of industrial development on the environment has been often severe and many times dramatically destructive. Today the most advanced technologies based on a better understanding of natural processes and the discovery of new materials and analytical techniques can help to recover critical situations linked to the overexploitation of natural resources.
TECO project is funded by the European Union - Delegation of the European Union to India in collaboration with the EuropeAid Cooperation Office - and is dedicated to the implementation of EU-India exchange of experts and innovators in the field of technological eco-innovation applied to the pollution of soils and waters and to the improvement of their quality.
The project is coordinated by CNR (National Research Council, Italy) with the partnership of NEERI (National Environmental Engineering Research Insitute, India).
TECO will be active from December 2014 to December 2018.
GOALS OF THE PROJECT
• to boost research and innovation collaboration between EU and India in the field of environment, specifically on the innovations for the decontamination of polluted waters and soils
• to stimulate new opportunities for the private sector to deliver appropriate innovations which are able to provide solutions for local contexts even through a reinforced link between research and public institutions. A wider network of people is also involved in the activities through workshops and conferences
EXPECTED OUTCOMES
• Networking, information sharing and partnerships among target groups and stakeholders
• Mobility schemes and collaborations among EU and India
• EU-India joint research and involvement of private sector
• Improvement of public-private dialogue
PLANNED ACTIVITIES
• Networking management and web coordination; match-making of requests and opportunities; organization of two networking conferences in India (Autumn 2016) and EU (2018)
• Accurate selection of participants and projects and activation of the mobility programme
• Expert monitoring of ongoing joint researches
• Addressing of obstacles and challenges; review and organization of consultations with all stakeholders
