DALIA is looking for local and/or regional authorities to apply for Rivers Revived, its Call for Associated Regions.
The project will fund 10 proposals from at least 5 different associated regions with up to €100,000.
Call Overview
DALIA’s Open Call presents a unique opportunity for Associated Regions to participate in groundbreaking initiatives aimed at environmental, societal, and economic transformation. The Call aligns with DALIA’s primary objectives, focusing on two key aspects: knowledge transfer and solution scalability of solutions for the Danube River catchment.
DALIA expects to fund up to 10 projects from at least 5 different regions. The total amount of financial support to third parties allocated by the coordinator is 1,000,000 EUR.
The maximum amount of financial support to each third party will be limited to 100,000 EUR.
The DALIA Rivers Revived Call aims to transfer the knowledge from DALIA pilot regions (DPs) into new pilot regions with similar conditions, by engaging local and regional authorities to select one of the DPSs regions and replicate it thus demonstrating the transferability, feasibility, and scalability of such solutions for the Danube river.
The expected outcomes of DALIA’s Open Call encompass a wide array of actions, aimed at enhancing water management and adaptation measures. Through validated concepts for new monitoring approaches, early-warning systems will be strengthened, ensuring proactive responses to water-related challenges. Innovative modeling, leveraging machine learning and neural networks, will enable comprehensive analysis of fate and transport across varying temporal and spatial scales in soil, sediment, and water, fostering more informed decision-making processes. Additionally, the monitoring of sediment flow will be optimized through diverse methods, enhancing our understanding of suspended sediment dynamics and sediment transport mechanisms.
The Open Call also aims to drive the expansion of reuse cases in drought-affected areas through the adoption of novel nature-based solutions technologies, contributing to greater resilience in water management. Moreover, it seeks to promote the increased use of Integrated River Basin Management (IRBM) principles for sustainable water management and climate change adaptation, fostering collaboration among researchers, water management professionals, decision-makers, and the broader public, thereby fostering a more integrated and holistic approach to managing water resources.
