PRIORITY 3
Comparative and competitive advantages
Andalusia is the European region with:
-
Heritage singularity
Great heritage singularity and Places of Cultural Interest integrated into the landscape as identifying elements that socially strengthen the territory, and the Andalusia Network of Cultural Spaces RECA.
-
High mining and geodiversity potential
High mining and geodiversity potential, wide range of mineral raw material deposits and a resurgent metal mining sector
-
Coastal and marine ecosystems
Coastal and marine ecosystems with resources and reserves of new substances for new developments in health, tourism, food and energy; species transit zone and leading laboratory for climate change.
-
World renowned projectes
Projects like LifeWatch, R&D&i e-infrastructure on the world renowned ESFRI map in protection, management and sustainable use of biodiversity, the International Campus of Excellence CEIMAR.
-
Greatest number of spaces and percentage of protected surface area
Greatest number of spaces and percentage of protected surface area, with own internationally renowned management models, experience in species recovery, effective fight against the advance of aridity and desertification, and good practice in the comprehensive treatment of the water cycle.
Challenges
Turn Andalusia into a leading international region in research, pilot and demonstration projects, technology transfer and international R&D infrastructures in the field of biodiversity, management and sustainable use of natural and heritage resources.
Create the conditions to optimise the use of local resources, in a context of conservation of territorial capital and conservation of cultural heritage.
Make the most of existing mining resources to carry out R&D&i and pilot projects, from which new products and applicable processes in the Andalusian entrepreneurial fabric are derived.
Lines of action:
-
1.
Mantenimiento del flujo sostenido de los servicios de los ecosistemas.
-
2.
Innovation for the adaptation of territories to climate change.
-
3.
Mining integrated into the territory.
-
4.
New processes and products for the use of agricultural and livestock resources.
-
5.
Research and innovation on the management of natural resources and cultural heritage.
Capacities which were identified on the territory to select this priority
- Research on bioproducts and biorefineries for the transition to a biobased economy.
- R&i in generation and transfer of knowledge on cultural heritage and on tourist resources, with a comprehensive treatment thereof in relation to the landscape and the territory.
- Comprehensive management of coastal zones: blue economy.
- Pilot projects of new comprehensive water cycle management models.
- Efficient use of waste and CO2 capture by natural and cultivated ecosystems.
- Improve competitiveness in agriculture and cattle breeding by reducing the negative external factors of these activities.
- Industrial activity related to the transformation and revitalisation of mineral resources, development of new materials and applications.
- Research and innovation on the treatment of mining resources, chemical processes and metallurgical technology developments with potential in Andalusia. Sustainable mining and mining recovery.
- Management of natural resources: green economy. Environmental recovery and risk management
- Andalusia leading region in research, pilot and demonstration projects, and technology transfer in the rail, aviation, naval and automotive field.
Examples of actions
Ejemplos de actuaciones realizadas en el marco de la prioridad Aprovechamiento sostenible de los Recursos endógenos de base territorial:
-
MINELAND project
Establishment of criteria for the integration of policies on mineral resources and spatial planning and management at different scales. Sharing of criteria and deepening in the characterization and definition of the potential uses of the land / territory and in the formal, temporary, intensive aspects, etc. of said land / territory uses.
-
IN_FACT project
Innovation and research action aimed at the use of non-invasive mining exploration technologies, transported by drones, which aims to create the conditions for the establishment of test and certification sites for these technologies at various sites in the EU.
-
MIREU project
Creation of a network of European regions with interests in mining and metallurgy based on the participation of regional agents and focused on legal, social and environmental innovation aspects that condition and limit mining in Europe.
