SSH CENTRE - Mini-reports : Focus groups on "A Soil Deal for Europe: 100 living labs and lighthouses to lead the transition towards healthy soils by 2030"

SSH CENTRE (Social Sciences and Humanities for Climate, Energy aNd Transport Research Excellence) is a Horizon Europe project, engaging directly with stakeholders across research, policy, and business (including citizens) to strengthen social innovation, SSH-STEM collaboration, transdisciplinary policy advice, inclusive engagement, and SSH communities across Europe, accelerating the EU’s transition to carbon neutrality. SSH CENTRE is based in a range of activities related to Open Science, inclusivity and diversity – especially with regards Southern and Eastern Europe and different career stages – including: development of novel SSH-STEM collaborations to facilitate the delivery of the EU Green Deal; SSH knowledge brokerage to support regions in transition; and the effective design of strategies for citizen engagement in EU R&I activities. Outputs include action-led agendas and building stakeholder synergies through regular Policy Insight events. This is captured in a high-profile virtual SSH CENTRE generating and sharing best practice for SSH policy advice, overcoming fragmentation to accelerate the EU’s journey to a sustainable future. The aim of the focus groups was to gather citizen's perspectives, their hopes, concerns and ideas related to the Horizon Mission of A Soil Deal for Europe: 100 living labs and lighthouses to lead the transition towards healthy soils by 2030. The focus group discussion topics while remaining close to the Mission, avoid specific technical references to allow citizens to contribute based on their differing levels of understanding. As part of the SSH CENTRE project, in total, four focus group series have been conducted relating to Adaptation to Climate Change; Restore our Ocean and Waters by 2030; 100 Climate-Neutral and Smart Cities by 2030; A Soil Deal for Europe. Notes were taken during each focus groups and turned into mini-reports. These mini-reports sum up the essence of the discussion: the participants' main ideas and some interesting quotes.气候、能源与交通研究卓越人文社会科学项目（SSH CENTRE，Social Sciences and Humanities for Climate, Energy aNd Transport Research Excellence）是欧盟地平线欧洲（Horizon Europe）计划下的科研项目，直接联动科研、政策与商业领域（含普通民众）的多方利益相关者，旨在强化社会创新、SSH-STEM跨学科协作、跨学科政策咨询、包容性参与，以及欧洲范围内的人文社会科学社群建设，加速欧盟向碳中和目标转型。 该项目核心开展一系列与开放科学（Open Science）、包容性与多样性相关的工作——尤其针对南欧与东欧地区，以及不同职业发展阶段的群体——包括：打造新型SSH-STEM协作模式，以助力欧盟绿色协议（EU Green Deal）的落地；开展SSH知识中介服务，帮扶转型中的地区；以及为欧盟研发与创新（R&I）活动设计有效的民众参与策略。项目产出包括以行动为导向的议程，以及通过定期举办‘政策洞察（Policy Insight）’活动构建利益相关者协同网络。 这一目标可通过一个高关注度的线上SSH CENTRE平台实现，该平台旨在生成并分享SSH领域政策咨询的最佳实践，打破碎片化壁垒，加速欧盟迈向可持续发展未来的进程。 本次焦点小组访谈的目标是收集民众对于‘欧洲土壤协议（A Soil Deal for Europe）’这一地平线欧洲使命（Horizon Mission）的看法、期许、担忧与建议，该使命计划在2030年前打造100个生活实验室与示范灯塔，引领健康土壤转型进程。焦点小组的讨论主题紧密围绕该使命展开，避免涉及具体技术细节，以便民众可以基于自身不同的认知水平参与交流。作为该项目的一部分，团队共开展了四组焦点小组访谈，分别对应‘气候变化适应’‘到2030年修复我们的海洋与水域’‘到2030年建成100个气候中和智慧城市’以及‘欧洲土壤协议’四大主题。 每场焦点小组访谈均会记录座谈内容，并整理为微型报告。这些微型报告将提炼座谈的核心内容：参会者的主要观点与部分精彩引述。
