The Central European Research Infrastructure Consortium (CERIC-ERIC) is calling for proposals for coordinated access to more than 60 instruments and support laboratories for research in all fields of materials, biomaterials and nanotechnology. A detailed description of the facilities available in CERIC can be found here.

CERIC is open to researchers from all over the world, free of charge for non-proprietary research. In exchange for the free access, the users are required to publish the results of the experiments, with appropriate references to the CERIC facilities and to the local scientific and technical staff involved (CERIC Scientific Data Policy).

The call for proposals has a two-step application process with the following deadlines:

  • 3 March 2026 at 17:00 CET, to have a pre-evaluation and the possibility to improve your proposal.
  • 31 March 2026 at 17:00 CEST final submission, recommended only for users that are experts in all the techniques requested.

For all information on the call for proposals, partial support for users’s mobility, what’s new in this call, the two-step application process and the online submission platform VUO, visit the call for proposals page and the announcement in the news section on the CERIC website.

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.
