Ongoing

PHANTASTIC

PHANTASTIC, a Horizon Europe-funded research & innovation project, has been launched with a €7.3 million budget to reduce agrochemical and plastic pollution by developing biodegradable polymers for bio-based fertilisers.

CELLFIL

CELLFIL, a Horizon Europe-funded innovation project, has been launched with a €6.9 million budget to enhance the textile value chain, enabling the sustainable and robust production of lyocell filaments.

RecAL

RecAL is a Horizon Europe project aiming to upgrade Europe’s handling of its aluminium supply and metals market place. Via RecAL’s innovative packet of solutions, we can reduce the carbon footprint of aluminium production by enabling the use of secondary resources – and improve the continent’s self-sufficiency along the way.

SAGROPIA

SAGROPIA aims to revolutionize plant protection in European agriculture by introducing thirteen biological and low-risk pesticides as substitutes for key “candidates of substitution” (CfS), focusing on potato and sugar-beet crops.

BIOBUILD

BIOBUILD is addressing the urgency to transition towards a sustainable bio-based economy within the construction sector to achieve carbon neutrality and energy efficiency in buildings.

FUELGAE

FUELGAE aims to develop a novel model of advanced liquid fuels (ALF) production from the different CO2 emissions streams of two industrial sectors (a biorefinery and an energy intensive industry, in the form of a steel mill) through a microalgae pilot plant integrated into their infrastructure.

SUSHEAT

SUSHEAT is aiming to develope a new generation of highly-efficient AI assisted heat upgrade systems, able to harvest and store renewable energy for intensive factory processing needs.

MIBIREM

MIBIREM project will exploit microbiomes for bioremediation of contaminated sites. MIBIREM will develop a unique and innovative technological toolbox for microbiome-based bioremediation to clean up contaminated sites across Europe.

CAELESTIS

CAELESTIS will develop a new interlinked system able to execute massive calculations and predictions across the aviation value chain, enabling decisive improvements to aircraft performance. Digital twins will then be developed with unprecedented levels of detail covering manufacturing effects and deviations.

VIRTIGATION

Tomatoes are increasingly under threat by emerging viral diseases caused by begomoviruses (whitefly-transmitted) and tobamoviruses (mechanically transmitted). VIRTIGATION will develop a broad range of solutions, including vaccines for the plants, biopesticides against virus vectors and integrated pest management (IPM) strategies.

UNTWIST

UNTWIST Uncover and promote tolerance to temperature and water stress in Camelina sativa UNTWIST Uncover and promote tolerance to temperature and water stress in Camelina sativa Europe has experienced an increasingly variable climate and extreme weather episodes. The recent examples of summer 2018 with extreme heat and drought conditions in continental and northern Europe, and

BIOVEXO

The spread of the pathogenic bacterium Xylella fastidiosa has been rapidly increasing across Southern Europe, severely damaging and often completely destroying olive and almond orchards. To date, there is no organic solution available on the market to battle the devastation caused by Xylella. As a result, the BIOVEXO project will establish and validate the top performing biopesticides to combat the aggressive…

Avant

AVANT is a multi-actor inter-sectorial project aimed at developing alternatives to antimicrobials for the management of bacterial infections in pigs, especially diarrhoea during the weaning period, as the major indication for antimicrobial use in livestock in Europe…
