Supporting Doscon AS in project establishment towards ZERO POLLUTION call of Horizon Europe

Tildelt: kr 49 999

Doscon AS is an active member of a consortium preparing PrevPollut project proposal towards HORIZON-CL6-2021-ZEROPOLLUTION-01-03 call of Horizon Europe. The PrevPollut consortium has 38 partners, including DOSCON and the Municipality of Oslo's water department. Oslo is selected as one of the 13 case study cities, where DOSCONs virtual sensors will be installed and validated. DOSCON is invited to lead 3 tasks in the project. Diffuse pollution in the urban environment is a growing challenge due to increased sewer overflows as a result of Climate Change impacting an increase in precipitation events. This adds up to the existing leakages from ageing sewers, macro and micropollutants from urban surfaces including roads. The ZERO POLLUTION One step Call of Horizon Europe intends to fund 3-4 projects addressing these issues, each with €3-4 mill. Quantification of pollutants is the key to defining pollution loads and their threats, as well as capacities for Europe's water resources. However, the conventional practice of manual analysis is costly and time-consuming, while the use of automated sensors is either impossible or costly for the parameters of concern. DOSCON has a unique concept of estimating these parameters (COD, phosphates, nitrogen and emerging contaminants) via Virtual sensors. The PrevPollut consortium has considered DOSCONs contribution as critically important to their proposed project, and DOSCON considers involvement in such a project as relevant and beneficial. The project boosts the innovation capacity of DOSCON and promotes transnational collaboration through a strong network in the PrevPollut consortium. The participation positions DOSCON as an attractive partner for other Horizon project consortia within the Water Europe network. RCN's PES program provides invaluable support to SMEs, thus DOSCON expects to cover the expert consultation and part of their own proposal development & writing resources.
