  1. FP7Environment Theme EC, DG Research, Directorate I “ Environment”,

  2. FP7 Environment Theme • Objective: Sustainable management of the environment and its resources through: • Advancing our knowledge on the interactions between the biosphere, ecosystems and human activities • Developing new technologies, tools and services in order to address in an integrated way global environmental issues

  3. FP7 Environment Theme • Climate Change, Pollution, and Risks(indoor air, strategies for prevention and mitigation of natural hazards) • Management of Resources: management of natural and man-made resources and biodiversity(management and planning of urban environment, preservation of landscape,...) • Environmental Technologies(includes water, waste, air, soil, built environment, cultural heritage, technological assessment…) • Earth Observation & Assessment Tools(forecasting methods, sustainable development & social & economic tensions related to climate change)

  4. Environmental Technologies in FP7 • Environmental Technologies:for managing resources /treating pollution more efficiently, related to water, soil, air, sea, waste…; for preventing or reducing environmental risks and disasters, promoting sustainable production and consumption, technologies for the sustainable management of the human urban and rural environment. • Protection, conservation and enhancement of cultural heritage, including human habitat:improved damage assessment on cultural heritage, development of innovative conservation strategies, foster integration of cultural heritage in the urban setting. • Technology assessment, verification & testing:processes & products, life-cycle analysis (chemicals risk assessment), intelligent testing strategies, European Environmental Technologies Verification and Testing Systems.

  5. Environment ThemeFP7-Project Examples PERFECTION ; Performance Indicators for Health Comfort and Safety of the Indoor Environment (Coordination Action) Aims to help enable the application of new building design & technologies that improve the indoor environment’s impact on health, comfort; feeling of safety and positive stimulation Reviews performance indicators used in design, construction & use, and identifies areas where new indicators are needed Formulates recommendations for building design & technologies in line with Directives on construction products & energy performance of buildings

  6. Environment ThemeFP7-Project Examples LoRe-LCA Low Resource Consumption Buildings and Constructions by use of LCA in Design and Decision making (Coordination Action)

  7. Other FP7-Project Examples BRIDGE Incorporating sustainability aspects in urban planning processes SUME Sustainable Urban Metabolism for Europe ACTOR Aalborg Commitments Tools and Resources PLUREL Peri-urban land use relationships

  8. Environment ThemeFP7 Urban Projects under negotiation BRIDGE Sustainable Urban Planning Decision Support Accounting for Urban Metabolism BRIDGE will focus on incorporating sustainability aspects in urban planning processes… will bridge the gap between bio-physical sciences and urban planners Some of the the partners: King’s College London (KCL) Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche (CNR) Instytut Ekologii Terenów Uprzemysłowionych (IETU),PL Technical University of Madrid (UPM)Météo France CNRM (CNRM) - University of Helsinki (UHEL) 

  9. Environment ThemeFP7 Urban Projects under negotiation SUME find a link between the urban metabolism approach to urban spatial development concepts for a sustainable development of urban areas in the future. Project Coordinator: University of Northumbria at Newcastle (Newcatle upon Tyne, UK) Some of the partners: University of Porto, Faculty of Engineering (FEUP), PT University of Newcastle upon Tyne (UNEW),UK Delft University of Technology (TU Delft)NL Chinese Academy of Sciences (CASIA),CN

  10. Environment ThemeFP6 Urban Projects on going PLUREL Peri-urban land use relationships – strategies and sustainability assessment tools for urban-rural linkages. Project Coordinator: University of Copenhagen [KU], DK Some of the partners: International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis, AT Université de Paris 1 Pantheon-Sorbonne [UP1], Centre d’Economie de la Sorbonne / ERASME, Paris,FR University of Thessaly [UTh], Department of Planning and Regional Development, Volos, GR University College Dublin, School of Geography, Planning and Environmental Policy, Dublin, IE Studio Mediterana, architecture designing, advisory and investment inc., Izola, SI Munich Design International [MUDI], DE

  11. Future Calls Indicative Topics for Environmental Technologies • Built Environment • Low resource building (technologies to reduce, re-use and recycle) further research following “coordination action” of 1st call) • Health, comfort and safety of indoor environment (further research following “coordination action” of 1st call) • Benchmarking performance and sustainability of the built environment • Improved safety of the built environment. • Reduced impact of the built environment on greenfield sites and landscape through facilitating brownfield reuse • Reduced impact of infrastructure on urban society and natural environment (operations and construction).

  12. Future Calls Environment Theme • Further topics related to the Built Environment • Vulnerability assessment of buildings, lifeline systems and networks related to earthquakes. • Prediction, warning & management of coastal hazards in Europe • Technologies for mitigation of urban flooding • Construction and demolition waste recycling • Innovative construction technologies to reduce soil sealing. • Indoor air pollution and health impacts. • Urban development related research.
