(2018-today) BRIGAID: BRIdges the GAP for Innovations In Disaster resilience (H2020)
Project Website: Brigaid
Budget: € 8,813,997.50
BRIGAID BRIdges the GAp for Innovations in Disaster resilience (BRIGAID) H2020 Project aims to provide 
structural, ongoing support for innovations in climate adaptation by developing an innovative mix of methods 
and tools, that should become a standard for climate adaptation innovations.
Project coordinator: Technische Universiteit Delft
Funded by: European Commission
 
(2018- today) SIMRA: Social Innovation in Marginalised Rural Areas (H2020)
Project Website: Social Innovation in Marginalised Rural Areas
Budget: € 5,982,000
SIMRA’s overarching objective is to fill the significant knowledge gap in understanding and enhancing social 
innovation in marginalised rural areas by advancing the state-of-the-art in social innovation and connected
governance mechanisms in agriculture and forestry sectors and in rural development in general.
Project coordinator: James Hutton Institute

(2017-2020) Horizon2020, Openaire-Connect Project
 Project Website: OpenAIRE-Connect (H2020)
Budget: € 1,997,837.50
OpenAIRE- Connect aims to provide technological and social bridges, and deliver services enabling uniform 
exchange of research artefacts (literature, data, and methods), with semantic links between them, across 
research communities and content providers in scientific communication. It will introduce and implement the 
concept of Open Science as a Service (OSaaS) on top of the existing OpenAIRE infrastructure, delivering out-
of-the-box, on-demand deployable tools. OpenAIRE-Connect will adopt an end-user driven approach (via the 
involvement of 5 prominent research communities), and enrich the portfolio of OpenAIRE infrastructure 
production services with a Research Community Dashboard Service and a Catch-All Notification Broker 
Service. The first will offer publishing, interlinking, packaging functionalities to enable them to share and re-
use their research artifacts (introducing “methods, e.g. data,software, protocols).
