    In line with the Zero Pollution action plan and the Farm to Fork Strategy, Nutribudget will develop the prototype of a first-of-its-kind integrated nutrient management platform, called Nutriplatform, in various regions across Europe. The Nutriplatform will operate as a decision-support tool (DST) for farmers, advisors and regional authorities and before the end of the project this prototype (as a stand-alone or integrated in the existing EC promoted FaST tool for nutrient management) will be tested and used by at least 40.000 farmers across Europe. Firstly, the development of the Nutriplatform will be based on the algorithms of two advanced newly developed holistic Nutrimodels that quantify the impact of agronomic mitigation measures to optimize nutrient budget and flow across scales (from farm to Europe), across elements (C) and nutrients (N, P, K, S, Ca, Mg, Cu and Zn) and by looking at various agronomic and environmental targets. The measures will be derived from (I) existing knowledge, including input from relevant EU projects (e.g. the 4 on nutrient recycling from the call) and (II) new data from field experiments with innovative mitigation measures and combinations thereof that connect animal and crop production via agro-processing industries in 5 pilot regions (4 nutrient hotspot and 1 nutrient deficient area) in 4 different climate regions in Europe. Secondly, these measures will be linked to relevant monitoring indicators, called NutriKPIs, for agronomic performance in different farming systems, nutrient emissions and impact on biodiversity. All will be done in co-creation, according to a Nutri-actor approach, with a consortium of 17 partners from 10 countries that are all experts in their respective fields. Thereby, Nutribudget will contribute to systemically optimize nutrient management across different agricultural production systems and regions in the EU to reduce pollution due to the excessive use of nutrients and nutrient losses to the environment.

    Space activities have increased impressively in the last decades. New actors and concepts are raising new challenges to ensure the security, safety, sustainability and stability of space operations. Initiatives on national and international level aim to tackle this issue through promotion of prevention, understanding the situation, active collision avoidance operations as well as active debris removal. To ensure autonomy and leadership in the field whilst reducing the dependability on U.S. SSA data, the EU started to work on an independent SSA/SST capability. EUSTM is an end-to end activity towards the definition of a future STM capability: • Counting on the main experts in all applicable domains within the team • Consulting the main stakeholders worldwide in relevant domains • Defining the needs in terms of organisation and responsibilities, technology, policy, laws, guidelines, best practices and standards • Elaborating detailed specs, a preliminary design, a reference roadmap and a ROM cost analysis • Developing an innovative collaborative platform for exchange of information inside the team and with external stakeholders • Creating a community of interest on STM be active beyond the duration of the project • Organising workshops and a dedicated European STM Conference anchored to a space event EUSTM is coordinated by GMV, the main European industrial player in the SSA/SST domain supported by European … • industrial players and research institutes from all across Europe • experts in SSA/SST-related technologies • current and future (NewSpace) users (EUTELSAT and many others) • experts in the policy (ESPI), governance & security (SatCen) and legal domains (IDEST), professionals for impact assessment and cost benefit analysis (PwC) and key actors in the air traffic management domain (ENAIRE) EUSTM is supported by 20+ additional stakeholders including operators, industry, emerging NewSpace players and institutions, as well as the Secure World Foundation.
