FACTSHEET - EU Soil Mission Living Labs and Lighthouses for Soil Health: Funding Opportunities

The factsheet “Funding Opportunities” offers a concise overview of financial instruments and support mechanisms available for establishing Living Labs and Lighthouses under Mission Soil 2025. It outlines eligible actors, key criteria, and strategic guidance for securing funding, with detailed insights into the two relevant topics: Living Labs for Soil Remediation and Green Redevelopment of Brownfields (HORIZON-MISS-2025-05-SOIL-01) and Living Labs to Enhance Soil Health in Continental, Boreal, and Alpine Regions (HORIZON-MISS-2025-05-SOIL-01-two-stage)

These factsheets build on the groundwork laid by the NATI00NS project and provide clear, accessible guidance to help navigate the application process for Soil Health Living Labs and Lighthouses.

This factsheet is part of a series of five thematic factsheets covering key Land Use Types, Agricultural, Forestry, Industrial, (Semi-)Natural, and Urban, along with two cross-cutting factsheets on Biogeographical Regions and Ecosystem Services. Together, these resources provide a practical overview of the Mission’s objectives, implementation strategies, and eligibility criteria.
