EU Research Excellence and Capacity for Horizon 2020 Topic SCC-02-2016-2017 Innovative Nature Based Solutions In Cities Overview of Topic SCC-02-2016-2017 Innovative nature-based solutions in cities In the face of mass urbanisation, climate change mitigation and adaptation and the sustainable management of water resources are key challenges for cities in the 21 st century. The H2020 topic SCC-02-2016-2017 invites proposals from consortia to develop, demonstrate and deploy innovative nature-based solutions for cities, which should be co-designed, co- developed and co-implemented in a trans-disciplinary, multi-stakeholder and participatory context. These solutions should be embedded in an integrated urban and land use planning as part of the intervention. Proposals should assess potential regulatory, economic, social and technical barriers; and develop methodologies for replication and up-scaling in different contexts. Methodology Stage 1: Mapping of research projects: The CORDIS database was searched using pre-selected keywords across the full suite of FP7 and Horizon 2020 programmes and relevant projects identified Stage 2: Mapping of key Institutes to receive water research funding: The research projects from Stage 1 were comprehensively searched to discern whether there was evidence of research institutes involved in multiple research projects. The top performing institutes involved in multiple projects were identified. Stage 3: Analysis of “networking” groups: A range of EU networking groups in the water research area were analysed as part of Stage 3 . Participants in networks which were also “top performing institutes” from Stage 2 were identified.

Overview of Topic SCC-02-2016-2017
Innovative nature-based solutions in cities
In the face of mass urbanisation, climate change mitigation and adaptationand the sustainable management of water resources are key challenges forcities in the 21st century. The H2020 topic SCC-02-2016-2017 invitesproposals from consortia to develop, demonstrate and deploy innovativenature-based solutions for cities, which should be co-designed, co-developed and co-implemented in a trans-disciplinary, multi-stakeholderand participatory context. These solutions should be embedded in anintegrated urban and land use planning as part of the intervention.Proposals should assess potential regulatory, economic, social and technicalbarriers; and develop methodologies for replication and up-scaling indifferent contexts.
Methodology
Stage 1: Mapping of research projects: The CORDIS database wassearched using pre-selected keywords across the full suite of FP7 andHorizon 2020 programmes and relevant projects identified
Stage 2: Mapping of key Institutes to receive water research funding:The research projects from Stage 1 were comprehensively searched todiscern whether there was evidence of research institutes involved inmultiple research projects. The top performing institutes involved inmultiple projects were identified.
Stage 3: Analysis of “networking” groups: A range of EU networkinggroups in the water research area were analysed as part of Stage 3 .Participants in networks which were also “top performing institutes” fromStage 2 were identified.
