Summary
Open EU call topic HORIZON-CL4-2027-01-MAT-PROD-06 · HORIZON Research and Innovation Actions. Part of call HORIZON-CL4-2027-01: INDUSTRY. Next deadline 2027-02-02. Topic page: https://ec.europa.eu/info/funding-tenders/opportunities/portal/screen/opportunities/topic-details/HORIZON-CL4-2027-01-MAT-PROD-06
Expected Outcome: - Innovative advanced materials designed for circularity are adopted in products faster, through accelerated production and technology uptake; - Business models become available to enhance the use of circular advanced materials in strategic value chains; and - Resource efficiency (materials and energy) is increased significantly through a focus on circular advanced materials. - Quality standards, harmonisation and regulatory requirements are addressed facilitating simplified market transition.
Scope: The focus of this topic is on enabling circularity and resilient supply networks through R&I in advanced materials, in particular recyclable polymers and composites, magnets and metal (alloys) for additive manufacturing, and on accelerating their pathway to market. Proposals should develop new innovative advanced materials (IAMs) with superior or novel functionalities designed for circularity. The scope includes necessary developments of related processes and technologies to ensure integration in industrial manufacturing facilitating uptake of the developed solutions. Proposals should also develop circular business models considering the cost of changes needed along the life cycle of these new materials to facilitate their uptake. The scope covers the full innovation cycle from the design for circularity and functional integration (new materials designs), development and scaleup (including scalable recovery, recycling and valorisation at end of life), to demonstration of industrial uptake and integration into products. The transformative potential of the developed solutions is to be showcased by demonstrators and industrial use cases. Projects…

- Most Horizon Europe calls score three criteria (the ERC uses excellence alone). Excellence: clarity and ambition of the objectives, and the soundness of the methodology.
- Impact: credible pathways to the expected outcomes, and measures to communicate and exploit results.
- Quality and efficiency of implementation: the work plan, resources and the consortium's capacity.
