Programmes FET
“This booklet provides a snapshot of the first 30 years of FET. It explains the evolution of the programme, through testimonials of some of the people who shaped its policy aspects, examples of projects and their impact on technology and economy, and profiles of FET researchers, who have been listening out for “voices from the future”.” This publication was produced under the FETFX project, the Coordination and Support Action dedicated to communication and outreach of the Horizon 2020 Future and Emerging Technologies programme, with specific focus to FET Open and FET Proactive, now part of the Enhanced European Innovation Council Pilot (specifically the Pathfinder).

RUSTICA - Converting organic residues into bio-based fertiliser products

The RUSTICA project obtained funding under Horizon 2020, more in particular under the topic ‘Closing nutrient cycles’.  RUSTICA focuses on demonstration and implementation of circular bio-based nutrient valorisation chains, focusing on waste from the fruit and vegetable agro-food system. The project kicked off in 2021 and will run until 2024. It will use a strong multi-actor approach to co-create both socio-economic and technological knowledge in four case study regions in Europe and one in Colombia. The Flanders-based company DRANCO is one of the project partners and acts as technical project manager for the entire project. DRANCO participates in the project to develop its own technologies, to network and to help make the transition to a more circular based economy.
