Horizon Geoscience: overcoming societal challanges, creating change

KINDRA project coordinator, Prof. Marco Petitta participated in the dinner debate organsied by EFG &EGU in Brussels, the 26th of September. The event brought together researchers, policy makers and industry leaders to asses how greater collaboration can be achieved in order to overcome challanges our Society is facing. For more information on the outcome of the event and to download key findings of the H2020 Geoscience Survey visit the link.

Workflow in a nutshell
The project inventory (EIGR) built upon the harmonised methodology (HRC-SYS) is used to identify critical research challenges and gaps related to groundwater.
Mission statement
Making groundwater visible!
HRC-SYS
The harmonised methodology is based upon on three main categories: Societal Challenges (SC), Operational Actions (OA) and Research Topics (RT).
2D -presentation
The methodology also results in a 2D -presentation for each of the Societal Challenges, where Operational Actions and Research Topics intersect in a 5×5 matrix.
3D approach
The classification system previews the interaction among the three main categories through a 3D approach, where along each axis the 5 overarching groups are indicated.
EIGR
An online tool exclusively dedicated to groundwater research.

,,A project on groundwater research inventory and classification to make groundwater visible”

The objective of the project was to take stock of Europe’s contemporary practical and scientific knowledge of hydrogeology research and innovation with the help of an inventory of research results, activities, projects and programmes, and used the inventory to identify critical research challenges and gaps.

HRC-SYS

KINDRA has built dedicated common terminology for classifying results of hydro-geological activities carried out across Europe. The new Harmonised Research Classification System based on the state of the art of hydro-geology research & knowledge across different geographical and geo-environmental settings. Read more about it here.

EIGR

The European Inventory of Groundwater Research is a tool to include all possible information sources related to groundwater research & knowledge, following the principles defined by the proposed classification (HRC-SYSY). An inventory where metadata identifying various information sources can be collected, added and stored. Read more about it here.

GAPS

The European knowledge repository (EIGR) is a tool to help identify relevant topics, trends and critical challenges related to groundwater research. The results have been used for producing synergies, implementing policies and optimising water management across Europe. Read more about it here.

ICT4Water
ICT4Water cluster is a hub for the sister projects on ICT and Water Management, 10 from FP7 EC program and 5 from H2020 program. Their main aim is to achieve an efficient water management through a series of advanced ICT solutions: ICT4Water on youtube.
EIP Water
The European Innovation Partnership on Water (EIP Water) is an initiative within the EU 2020 Innovation Union. The EIP Water facilitates the development of innovative solutions to address major European and global water challenges, which we cannot address or solve with current or business-as-usual approaches and technologies. At the same time, the EIP Water supports the creation of market opportunities for these innovations, both inside and outside of Europe.
