Project Result n°1 : Set of upgraded and validated soil pollution models – Lead FZJ – Open Access

Potential use: Predict soil-related processes and their interactions with nutrients, metals, pesticides, PFAS, and microplastics through the environmental compartments. Models will be used either separately or with the MP.

Potential end-users: Scientific communities, environmental and governmental agencies, consultancy firms.

Additional efforts before exploitation: The models will be tested and validated with both large European databases and high-resolution use-case specific local databases. After validation, they will be made available for free download (not the code source), and they will be provided with full documentation of the models.

Project Result n°2: Set of local standardized databases – Lead VITO – Open Access

Potential use: The range of local project-enriched databases compliant with EUSO and DestinE requirements allow to use models and to describe specific areas.

Potential end-users: Scientific communities, environmental and governmental agencies, land managers and policymakers, EUSO.

Additional efforts before exploitation: Integration into DestinE, and upgrade of European and local databases following Blueprint developed within the project.

Project Result n°3: Open-access Modelling Platform – Lead AUA – Open Access

Potential use: A digital platform offering the flexibility to select the best combination of models/data for a given use-case and facilitating the access to existing available databases to simulate soil-related processes.

Potential end-users: Scientific communities, land managers, governmental and environmental agencies.

Additional efforts before exploitation: Transfer to the JRC. Full documentation of the models’ system (e.g., coupling, input/output structure) will be made available. To this end, a formal technology transfer agreement will be signed to pass the ownership of the platform to JRC. In addition, a sustainability assessment will be performed to ensure long-term use of the platform and to consider post-project extension related to the platform services.

Project Result n°4: Decision Support Tool – Lead AUA/GUT – Open Access

Potential use: Advise MP users in selecting the most relevant combination of models and databases to simulate pollutants transport and fate in a given area.

Potential end-users: Scientific communities, land managers, governmental and environmental protection agencies, consultancy firms.

Additional efforts before exploitation: Transfer to the JRC in order to be used after the project lifetime. Potential expansion of the scope will be discussed at the end of the project. In addition, a license will be developed for the DST so as to make clear terms of its public use.

Project Result n°5: Set of scenarios – Lead WU – Open Access

Potential use: Showcase of possible pathways to reduce the level of pollution and to concretely develop action to mitigate soil pollution threat at use-case scale.

Potential end-users: Scientific communities, governmental and environmental agencies, land managers and policymakers (EU and local).

Additional efforts before exploitation: None, except wide dissemination.

Project Result n°6: Set of recommendations for policymakers and use-cases stakeholders – Lead UFZ – Open Access

Potential use: Showcase of possible pathways to reduce the level of pollution and to concretely develop action to mitigate soil pollution threat at use-case scale.

Potential end-users: Scientific communities, governmental and environmental agencies, land managers and policymakers (EU and local).

Additional efforts before exploitation: None, except wide dissemination.

Project Result n°7: Demonstration use-cases – Lead WR – Open Access

Potential use: Use-case sites will be built upon areas which are already under monitoring programs. SOILPROM will deepen knowledge and prepare them as future lighthouses territories.

Potential end-users: Local land managers and policymakers

Additional efforts before exploitation: Dissemination to local stakeholders.
