HORIZON EUROPE┋Balancing food security, bioeconomy, climate and biodiversity objectives to unlock sustainable value chains
Expected Outcome:
Project results are expected to contribute to all of the following expected outcomes:
HORIZON EUROPE┋Supporting pre-normative research for standardization of the bio-based products
Expected Outcome:
Project results are expected to contribute to all of the following expected outcomes:
- higher and more robust industrial European competitiveness, decarbonisation and strategic autonomy, advancing the lead market for bio-based industry;
- improved environmental sustainability, with positive impact on climate, pollution and biodiversity, via the standardization of the bio-based sector and products.
Scope:
Proposals should address the following activities:
ERC Plus Grant
The new funding scheme, ERC Plus Grants, is planned to support outstanding researchers from Europe and anywhere in the world with bold ideas and a vision for transformative research that goes beyond the scope of existing ERC programmes.
The funding for this new grant scheme was announced by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in her speech of 5 May 2025 on the ‘Choose Europe’ initiative.
HORIZON EUROPE┋Advancing the European bio-based innovation enabled by biotechnology and biomanufacturing concepts
Expected Outcome:
Project results are expected to contribute to all of the following expected outcomes:
HORIZON EUROPE┋Demonstrating and deploying innovative collection, sorting-for-reuse and repair systems for textiles at city/region level (Circular Cities and Regions Initiative topic)
Expected Outcome:
Project results are expected to contribute to all of the following expected outcomes:
HORIZON EUROPE┋Advancing integrated scenarios and prediction models for informing transition to a nature positive society
Expected Outcome:
Project results are expected to contribute to all the following expected outcomes:
HORIZON EUROPE┋Ensuring continuous effectiveness of protected areas in conserving habitats and species while facing intensifying drivers of biodiversity loss
Expected Outcome:
Project results are expected to contribute to all the following expected outcomes:
HORIZON EUROPE┋Resource assessment for deep sedimentary and basement reservoirs
Expected Outcome:
Deep sedimentary/basement reservoirs are usually characterized by low permeability, high drilling cost and a scarcity of data, as they are typically ignored by hydrocarbon exploration. Major exploration challenges relate to predicting deep sedimentary and basement reservoir structures and properties to identify suitable locations for reservoir-independent approaches, capable of overcoming the low permeability obstacle, such as Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) or closed-loop geothermal systems.
