Horizon Europe is the European Union (EU) funding programme for the period 2021 – 2027, which targets the sectors of research and innovation. The programme’s budget is around € 95.5 billion, of which € 5.4 billion is from NextGenerationEU to stimulate recovery and strengthen the EU’s resilience in the future, and € 4.5 billion is additional aid.
Preventing hazardous emissions at source is key to reach the 2030 pollution reduction targets, including substances of concern, very high concern and emerging pollutants (e.g., PFAS and endocrine disrupting chemicals) as defined in relevant pieces of legislation (e.g., REACH, ESPR, Batteries regulation).
Bio-based innovative solutions, also in line with the recent initiative on biotechnology and biomanufacturing and the industrial carbon management strategy, should be designed to provide the solutions to replace hazardous substances in industrial assets and in final products and materials.
Bio-based materials and products within the scope of this topic do not include food/feed, biofuels and bioenergy.
Proposals should include a task dedicated to sharing methodologies and findings with all projects funded within this topic. Moreover, the projects should collect and analyse the outcomes from past and ongoing projects under EU programmes, including the Circular Bio-based Europe Joint Undertaking, addressing the challenges in the scope of this topic.
