The EU Structural Funds have funded a large number of projects in recent years, in collaboration with local authorities. Below you will find a non-exhaustive list of projects managed on campus by UCA and its partners (OCA, CHU, CNRS, INRIA, etc.)

INTERREG MARITTIMO

FEASIBLE

FEASIBLE meets the requirements for promoting the circular economy and aims to mitigate activities harmful to the climate through two modalities: the introduction of new production sectors with low environmental impact; the reactivation of demand for wood products in order to stimulate the resumption of management activities in wooded areas with beneficial effects on the regulation of outflows, the stabilization of slopes and the reduction of damage due to fires. FEASIBLE promotes the creation of local sectors through a pilot action aimed at scientifically demonstrating the validity and effectiveness of plant extracts intended for the agricultural, cosmetic and nutraceutical sectors. Duration: 2024 - 2026

PLASTRON

The PLASTRON project has the general objective of improving the sustainability of communities at the local level by providing knowledge and tools to promote the transition towards a circular and resource-efficient economy, in line with Green Deal policies and European actions aimed at achieving climate neutrality. Through the implementation of small investments for the collection of plastic on the coast, in marinas and at sea, common protocols will be developed to improve management and integration with the waste cycle. Experimental circular economy studies will be carried out with actions aimed at the valorization and reuse of solid waste from the sectors in the territories concerned. Duration: 2024 - 2026

FISHMPABLUEII
FishMPABlue2
FishMPABlue2

The FishMPABlue2 project is a sequel of the FishMPABlue1 project (July 2014 – June 2015) which carried out an analysis of the management of small-scale coastal fishing within and around marine protected areas, and which proposed, at the conclusion of this analysis, a toolbox for innovative governance to strengthen management capacities of marine protected areas (MPAs). The objective of FishMPABlue 2 is to field test a series of tools in 11 pilot MPAs, to evaluate and quantify their effectiveness in achieving the expected results in terms of ecological effectiveness of MPAs, the advantages offered to fisheries small scale and social acceptance of management measures by stakeholders. The Cap Roux Fishing Cantonment (Var) was one of the pilot sites of the project. The “FishMPABlue 2 Plus” project aims to transfer this know-how mainly by applying the same strategy to 11 new MPAs from 5 countries. Duration: 2016 - 2019.

The Risq'eau project aims to increase the resilience of ALCOTRA region to the risks of flash floods, but also water pollution. The project, which began in October 2015, is the result of cooperation between the Communauté d’Agglomération Cannes-Lérins and the representatives of the Italian valleys of San Lorenzo and Verbone, which already benefited from contact with the Communauté d’Agglomération Var-Esterel-Mediterranean Community.
The main goal of this partnership is to share the experiences and knowledge of the local authorities involved in the project, which have drainage basins of similar hydrological characteristics, are small in size and conducive to particularly dangerous floods. Duration: 2017- 2020
