Publication of the 1. Joint Calls for transnational funding
First Steering Committee meeting: 22.11.2011
Call Closure: 30.09.2011, 12 a.m. CET
As a contribution to the new EU strategy stressing the role of eco-innovation for competitiveness, ECO-INNOVERA will fund transnational and multidisciplinary R&D projects considering social, environmental, market and technological issues.
The 1. Joint Call is open to public and private research organizations, non-profit organizations as well as to industry; especially SMEs are highly welcome to apply for funding in transnational consortia. Projects should well describe the expected economic and environmental impact of the related eco-innovations as well as investigating potential societal changes. Clear and realistic recommendations for policy makers should be developed on measures to support the implementation of eco-innovation along the whole value chain and its diffusion in the society.
the 1. Joint Call focuses on resource efficiency as a main driver of eco-innovation including new business models and systemic approaches, addressing the following topics:
-
Paradigm change: Eco-innovation aims at the emergence of new types of sustainable production/consumption value chains using systemic approaches (life cycle thinking). Paradigm changes can e.g. be embedded in new business models.
-
Sustainable industrial processes and products: ECO-INNOVERA intends to support research for environmental improvements in industrial sectors with high impact on greenhouse gas emission, resource and energy efficiency, waste production or environmental pollution (water, air, soils).
- Recycling and waste re-use: The general outline of this topic is "Making more and better with waste: new products and better products with waste materials".
The Terms of Reference of the 1. Joint Call in the ERA-Net ECO-INNOVERA are available for download here.
The 1. Call is supported by 13 funding partners with a volume of up to 15 Mio. €.|
