Aligning 2025 Living Labs Proposals with Mission Objectives and Soil Monitoring Law

The second webinar in the series, “Aligning 2025 Living Labs Proposals with Mission Objectives and Soil Monitoring Law,” is part of an ongoing effort to support applicants preparing proposals for the 2025 Living Lab topics focused on establishing Soil Health Living Labs under the EU Mission Soil. Building on the first webinar, this session provided essential context for aligning proposals with the strategic goals of the Mission and understanding how these goals intersect with broader EU policy priorities.

The webinar begins with an overview of how Mission Soil fits within the wider European policy framework, including its connections to the European Green Deal, Horizon Europe, and the Sustainable Development Goals. It highlights the growing importance of soil health across EU strategies and its role in addressing environmental and societal challenges.

A detailed explanation of the Mission’s eight objectives follows, illustrating their relevance across Europe’s diverse bio-geographical regions. Participants gains practical insights into how their proposals can reflect these objectives through place-based approaches tailored to regional soil challenges. The session also includes an update on the Soil Monitoring Law, with specific guidance on how to integrate its requirements into proposal development.

To bring these elements to life, the webinar features insights and lessons learned from the first Mission Soil Living Labs, showcasing real-world experiences and best practices. The webinar concludes with a Q&A session, and participants are encouraged to submit their questions in advance via the registration form.
