Objectives of Call SC5-10b-2014
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Better coordination of often fragmented research
Timely and open exchange of information and research results
Innovative ways to mobilise all relevant actors, increase policy coherence,
resolve trade-offs, manage conflicting interests, increase participation of
citizens in decision-making and improve public awareness and business
uptake of research results.
Creation of European networks to facilitate dialogue among the relevant
scientific communities, funding bodies and user communities in Europe
Clustering, coordinating and creating synergies between international,
European and nationally funded research and innovation actions,
Developing joint programmes and projects,
Creating links with related international programmes,
Establish emerging needs, communication and dissemination activities for
an improved science-policy interface
Aligning research with decision-making requirements.

INSPIRATION Key Challenges
1. Identify societal challenges related to soil,
land use and land management
2. Identify research and stakeholders for
structuring
3. Contribute to EU policy and research

SNOWMAN network meeting, 25-26 March 2015

1. Societal challenges – Example Urban sprawl
Land
Biodiversity
Renewable energy production
Climate adaption area (flooding)
Agricultural land
less food and or biomass production capacity
Soil Sealing
loss of water infiltration capacity
adverse climate change effects
diminishing the drinking water supply
Loss of soil
ecosystem services ((e. g. carbon storage/climate change)
Less organic matter leads to Desertification (requiring extra use of fertilizer and
pesticides)
More traffic – more Infrastructure needed

INSPIRATION Baseline
Land and Soil services
are fundamental for:
•
•
Meeting societal needs (food,
drinking water, energy
production, shelter,
infrastructure)
Overcoming societal
challenges (climate change
mitigation and adaptation,
increasing demands on nonrenewable natural resources,
environmental justice)
Our Premises
Improving efficient use of
knowledge by a demand
driven and bottom up SRA
Ensuring success in
addressing societal challenges
by a Policy Science Interaction
and interaction with
stakeholders
Establishing a transnational
network of funding bodies and
cooperating industries by
recognition of individual
demands in the SRA
