The project aims at increasing Europe’s innovation capacity among universities and businesses to promote green and natural approaches to health and social care

The ECOSTAR virtual research-enterprise hub collects tools and promotes opportunities to increase the value of nature through innovative business ideas. 

The megatrends are clear: by 2050, 84% of the European population will live in urban areas, while air pollution and climate change will continue to harm the health of European citizens. Despite minor improvements, pollution levels, that regularly exceed the European Union (EU) limits, and heatwaves, endanger the lives of young and elderly people.
