D1.5 Report on capitalization of relevant projects results

Abstract

The work developed in this task is part of the WP1. FERTIMANURE framework, in particular of Task 1.5 Capitalization of relevant projects results developed by LEITAT, whose aim is to identify on-going and finished projects related with manure in the field of nutrient recycling, manure management, bio-based fertilizers and dissemination. The task aims to ensure maximisation of synergies between FERTIMANURE tasks and other related project activities and also elimination of all possible cases of overlaps. For that purpose, the approach is to become permanently aligned with all FERTIMANURE work packages and create an interactive and living tool, in order to make the accumulated experience usable during the project execution, linking with other related project outputs, skills and expertise. For the first thirteen months of the project, LEITAT created a database to compile all the projects related with FERTIMANURE framework. This database was filled in within partners contributions, European Sustainable Phosphorous Platform (ESPP) database(https://phosphorusplatform.eu) and Biorefine Cluster Europe (www.biorefine.eu/) with a total database of 163 projects. Information about running and finished projects was obtained including: name, acronym, website, summary (relevant information for FERTIMANURE), end date, partner coordinator, contact person, type of funding, current status, type of project (national, European or international). This information will be published at the FERTIMANURE website (www.fertimanure.eu) and can be used by stakeholders and general public. Each project was categorized by thematic area and the main objectives within the following categories: Organic wastes, Technology, End-products, Dissemination, Crop systems and Management. These categories were used to create a word cloud which includes the relevant information for FERTIMANURE of all the projects categorized. Moreover, data analysis was developed in order to obtain relevant results about the information compiled like diversity of projects or budget. Finally, LEITAT together with all FERTIMANURE partners selected the 5 most relevant projects in order to arrange a meeting with the coordinator. These meetings will have the objective of taking advantage of all the previous work done in the field of nutrient recycling and manure management, fertilization using BBFs or dissemination. The objectives of this work is basically to identify: • which are the challenges that have been identified in order to learn from them and avoid similar problems in FERTIMANURE, • the most relevant results in order to avoid overlaps and take advantage of the results specially addressed by FERTIMANURE and go beyond • in the on-going projects, identify potential synergies with FERTIMANURE and to monitor the projects results.
