Acceleration of advanced materials development and upscaling along the value chain
- Sista ansökningsdag 1 oktober 2025
Scaling SMEs belonging to the whole value chain of advanced materials and addressing one or more of these four key application areas: energy, mobility, electronics, construction.
Companies supported under this Challenge should target one or both of the following areas, taking into account the Safe and Sustainable by Design framework, including Life Cycle Assessment and circularity approaches: Technologies for design, synthesis, characterisation, up-scaling, and production of advanced materials.
Scaling up processes to reach the targeted functionalities or improved performance of advanced materials, such as surface functionalization of nanoparticles, or additive manufacturing approaches which may enable a fast integration of the advanced materials into smart devices.
The advanced materials and associated processes in the above mentioned four key application areas must be developed minimizing the use of resources, in particular critical raw materials (CRMs), and the environmental footprint. The latter is to be measured with a life-cycle analysis that includes an evaluation of the cost and social impact.
The next deadline for submitting a long application is 1/10 but short applications are accepted on an ongoing basis.
