Building a sustainable future
The Project
Carbonica is a 4 year-long project aiming at connecting the carbon farming innovation ecosystems of Greece, North Macedonia, and Cyprus, through the establishment of the Carbonica Excellence Hub (CEH).
The CEH will strengthen place-based innovation and excellence in the three (3) countries in order to achieve increased collective understanding and broad uptake of carbon farming methods. The CEH also aims to foster long-term cross border collaboration and strong viable linkages between the actors of the quadruple helix in the involved Innovation Ecosystems to motivate knowledge transfer, sharpen entrepreneurial skills and expand the collective capacity in carbon farming. Last, it will support the creation of business opportunities in carbon farming by bridging the gap between science and industry and establishing poles of attraction for innovators and investors and improve the uptake of carbon farming methods.
The main results of the project are the following:
- Joint Strategic R&I strategy: An R&I strategy including research priorities, themes, actions and areas of focus per country and jointly, taking also into consideration current challenges, research trends, stakeholders’ needs and policies related to carbon farming.
- Toolbox for carbon farming solutions: A comprehensive toolbox consisting of carbon-farming solutions.
- Lab Prototypes: One (1) lab prototype for carbon farming solution and one (1) lab prototype of protocols for carbon footprint accreditation / certification.
- E-learning Platform: Interactive platform with training content and audio visuals covering among others, topics of carbon farming solutions, carbon footprint certification protocols, business development, policy design.
- Policy recommendations: A policy recommendations single document that will be broadly disseminated at EU and national level.
