The first webinar in the series dedicated to the Horizon Europe Mission “A Soil Deal for Europe” will take place on 18 June 2025, from 10:00 to 11:30 CEST. This session will provide participants with essential information on the 2025 funding opportunities available to establish Soil Health Living Labs (SHLLs), along with practical guidance for preparing competitive proposals.
Representatives from the European Commission’s DG AGRI and the Research Executive Agency (REA) will present the Mission’s objectives, expected impacts, and the structure of the upcoming call topics. Participants will be introduced to the concept of Financial Support to Third Parties and receive a detailed walkthrough of the proposal template, including an explanation of the differences between two-stage and full application processes, as well as insights into common mistakes and best practices.
The webinar will also highlight the support services provided by SOILL to applicants and Soil Health Living Labs. A Q&A session will follow, with participants encouraged to submit their questions in advance via the registration form. Please note that inquiries related to specific project applications will not be addressed during the webinar; those seeking tailored advice are invited to contact their national mentors or contact SOILL Helpdesk. The session will conclude with a summary of key messages, an overview of upcoming webinars in the series, and a feedback poll.
