WP Descriptions
WP 1

WP1 aims at developing and securing institutional and social structures for resource-efficient and resilient cities with UA. The focus of this WP is on developing a broader conceptual framework for the project. The outcome of the WP will be identification of main processes and structural elements that are key to understanding the current status and future potential of UA, such as the interaction with business environment, engagement of residents, the role of governance and institutional settings, land use issues, knowledge transfer and long-term resilient structures and inclusive communities.

WP 2

The objective of WP2 is to achieve sustainable and circular urban farming systems, we have, based on our pre-existing “know-how”, selected several key technologies which shall be verified and tested out in pilot scale in WP2 to facilitate the large scale showcases described in WP3. WP2 is a key input of the required technologies to the showcases in WP3. Specific focuses will be given to: Provide an overview of and selection of technologies to be demonstrated in the showcases; Verify the feasibility and identify potential challenges involved in implementation of the technologies in WP3; Pilot studies of key components and technologies to facilitate successful implementation in the showcases; Deliver the implementation plan and evaluation of the selected technologies to be demonstrated in the showcases in WP3.

WP 3

This WP aims to organize and implement the showcase deployment of SiEUGreen in China, Norway, Denmark, Turkey. Here the functionalities developed in WP2 are to be tested and validated. WP3 will develop the pilot implementation plan, recruit and engage communities and implement the awareness raising campaigns for reaching participation from various environments. Through its implementation, it is expected to demonstrate circular economy in practice, through the example of innovative green, smart and inclusive cities. By this, it is expected to minimize the energy footprint, increase climate resilience, urban food security and health and happiness indicators in the participating cities, while the showcase impact will be multiplied to Chinese and European cities beyond the showcase areas, thanks to the communication activities deployed in parallel with this WP.

WP 4

The overall objective of this EU-China H2020 SiEuGreen project aims to share and transfer “know-how” between China and European countries to achieve a successful urban agricultural food production with zero waste, minimum transport, reuse, recycle and reduced environmental and energy burden to contribute to circular economy. The knowledge and technologies shall be shared and transferred consist of (1) crop cultivation technologies; (2) wastewater treatment and reuse technology; (3) waste composting and biogas production technology; (4) solar energy system design and production technology; (5) social and economic models and (6) new patent(s) and novel knowledge acquired during the project period. The knowledge and technology transferred will be carried out after adequate IPR agreement and MoUare signed which are empowered under the European and Chinese laws.

WP 5

WP5 intends to assess the economic, environmental, social and business benefits of the Showcases, as demonstrated by the involved SME partners and stakeholders; Assess the nature/characteristics of current and future market demand in EU and China (and Globally) for UA solutions (both in terms of products and services); Map the global competitive landscape, assess the state of competition and provide estimation of the Market Potential, in EU and China, for SiEUGreen UA solutions; Develop a commercialization strategy for the two geographical areas; Assess the potential markets and needs of all distinct user groups in EU and China for the UA solutions provided by SiEUGreen (D5.1); Secure the Sustainability and Exploitation of the SiEUGreen through the deliverance of: the Handbook for SiEUGreen solutions replication; and the establishment of a Sustainability Working Group (SWG) (D5.2; D5.4; D5.5); To develop sustainable business model for the commercialization of the SiEUGreen solution, identifying also potential investors and alternative sources of funding (D5.3).

WP 6

This WP aims at developing and implementing a multi-dimensional communication and dissemination strategy so as to increase awareness and participation among project stakeholders. It will produce the motivational material and tools for engaging users and will implement activities for ensuring the replication and sustainability of SiEUGreen including concrete policy recommendations that will be presented during the Final Conference of the project.

WP 7

This WP aims at ensuring the efficient and timely implementation of project activities through the following sub objectives: Comply with the legal, contractual, reporting and financial requirements of the EU; Animate and coordinate the consortium effectively; Establish an Advisory Board to provide with feedback and suggestions on strategic issues such as knowledge and exploitation plans; Monitor the timely completion of key tasks through effective delegation to WP leaders and to ensure the quality of WP deliverables through implementation of a quality assurance system; Put in place an effective risk management and contingency strategy to ensure that there is no significant impact on project budget or project outcomes from any unforeseen deviation from plan.
