MAPPING FUTURE HORIZONS
Identifying knowledge gaps for the Climate Action and Resource Efficiency Challenge in Horizon 2020
Aarhus University and the Partnership for European Environmental Research (PEER) invite researchers to Aarhus University on the October 3-4, 2013 in order to take stock of and assess the scientific progress towards tackling the grand environmental challenges, as specified in the Horizon 2020 challenge: Climate action, resource efficiency and raw materials
The main purpose of the conference is to identify knowledge gaps and future research needs within this challenge in Horizon 2020, and to deliver the collected advice of the conference to the European Commission.
We have now completed the review process. In total we received more than twice the number of abstracts that could be accommodated within a two-day conference, and we had to choose between many high-quality abstracts. The resulting first detailed programme is now available for download.
