Objective European Commission Vice President Günter Verheugen, responsible for enterprise and industry policy declared "European industries need predictability in the flow of raw materials and stable prices to remain competitive. We are committed to improve the conditions of access to raw materials, be it within Europe or by creating a level playing field in accessing such materials from abroad.” The global dimension of access to raw materials was on the agenda of the G8 Summit on June 2007. On that occasion a Declaration on "Responsibility for raw materials: transparency and sustainable growth" was adopted. Several national and international initiatives, both from the private or the institutional sectors, arised to address the sustainable development of the extractive industry and the reduction of its environmental footprint. Meanwhile, the extractive industry is facing increasing environmental and societal pressures, being regulatory or not, during all phases of a project, from exploration to exploitation and closure. The social acceptability of a project is among the major key issues to be dealt with. EO-MINERS scientific and technical objectives are to: - assess policy requirements at macro (public) and micro (mining companies) levels and define environmental, socio-economic, societal and sustainable development criteria and indicators to be possibly dealt using EO - use existing EO knowledge and carry out new developments on demonstration sites to further demonstrate the capabilities of integrated EO-based methods and tools in monitoring, managing and contributing reducing the environmental and societal footprints of the extractive industry during all phases of a mining project, from the exploration to the exploitation and closure stages - contribute making available reliable and objective information about affected ecosystems, populations and societies, to serve as a basis for a sound “trialogue” between industrialists, governmental organisations and stakeholder Fields of science natural sciencesbiological sciencesecologyecosystems Programme(s) FP7-ENVIRONMENT - Specific Programme "Cooperation": Environment (including Climate Change) Topic(s) ENV.2009.4.1.3.2 - Earth observation in support of a sustainable exploitation of mineral resources Call for proposal FP7-ENV-2009-1 See other projects for this call Funding Scheme CP-FP-SICA - Small/medium-scale focused research project for specific cooperation actions dedicated to international cooperation partner countries(SICA) Coordinator BUREAU DE RECHERCHES GEOLOGIQUES ET MINIERES Address 3 av claude guillemin 45060 Orleans France See on map Region Centre — Val de Loire Centre — Val de Loire Loiret Administrative Contact Stephane Chevrel (Mr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window EU contribution € 592 153,09 Participants (13) Sort alphabetically Sort by EU Contribution Expand all Collapse all NATURAL ENVIRONMENT RESEARCH COUNCIL United Kingdom EU contribution € 246 148,00 Address Polaris house, north star avenue SN2 1EU Swindon wiltshire See on map Activity type Public bodies (excluding Research Organisations and Secondary or Higher Education Establishments) Administrative Contact Colm Jordan (Dr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window TEL AVIV UNIVERSITY Israel EU contribution € 271 515,60 Address Ramat aviv 69978 Tel aviv See on map Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Administrative Contact Lea Pais (Ms.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window DEUTSCHES ZENTRUM FUR LUFT - UND RAUMFAHRT EV Germany EU contribution € 662 154,64 Address Linder hohe 51147 Koln See on map Region Nordrhein-Westfalen Köln Köln, Kreisfreie Stadt Administrative Contact Sibel Guer (Ms.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window WUPPERTAL INSTITUT FUR KLIMA, UMWELT, ENERGIE GGMBH Germany EU contribution € 292 434,20 Address Doppersberg 19 42103 Wuppertal See on map Region Nordrhein-Westfalen Düsseldorf Wuppertal, Kreisfreie Stadt Activity type Research Organisations Administrative Contact Cornelia Meierbröker (Ms.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window GEOLOSKI ZAVOD SLOVENIJE Slovenia EU contribution € 128 052,81 Address Dimiceva 14 1000 Ljubljana See on map Region Slovenija Zahodna Slovenija Osrednjeslovenska Administrative Contact Barbara Simic (Ms.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Mineral Industry Research Organisation United Kingdom EU contribution € 251 020,57 Address Copt heath drive 78 B93 9PB Solihull See on map Region West Midlands (England) West Midlands Solihull Activity type Other Administrative Contact Robert A Fenton (Mr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window COUNCIL FOR GEOSCIENCE South Africa EU contribution € 271 621,08 Address 280 pretoria street- silverstone 0127 Pretoria See on map Activity type Research Organisations Administrative Contact Cindy Petersen (Ms.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window ANGLO OPERATIONS LIMITED South Africa EU contribution € 0,00 Address Main street 45 2107 Johannesburg See on map Activity type Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Administrative Contact Maria Fatima Ferraz (Ms.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window UNIVERSITE DE VERSAILLES SAINT-QUENTIN-EN-YVELINES.
