Published on | 7 months ago

Programmes Enhancing EU R&I Horizon Europe

The EU Award for Gender Equality Champions was created under Horizon Europe to recognise the results achieved by academic and research organisations in the implementation of gender equality plans (GEPs). GEPs is an eligibility criterion for all public bodies, higher education institutions and research organisations from EU Member States and associated countries wishing to participate in Horizon Europe. The eligibility criterion was introduced for calls with deadlines in 2022 and onwards.

The award is open to universities, higher education institutions, and other research performing organisations (public or private), established in an EU Member State or a non-EU country associated to Horizon Europe.

There are three categories: Sustainable, Newcomer and Inclusive. Deadline to apply is 16 October 17:00 CET. The evaluation is expected to be finalized by March 2025. Each winner will receive a €100,000 prize: one in the sustainable and inclusive categories and two in newcomer category.

Interested to apply for this recognition prize? Find out more about the general and specific conditions via the call topic pages on the European Commission Funding and Tenders Portal:  

More information on the aims, categories and application process is also available on the DG R&I EU Award for Gender Equality Champions page.

GLAUKOS - Circular Solution for the Textile Industry

Bio Base Europe Pilot Plant coordinated the Glaukos project, which answered the call topic published in 2019 of Horizon 2020 Framework Programme ‘Develop bio-based fibres and/or functional molecules to improve the performance of textile products’ under the Framework of the Bio-based Industries Joint Undertaking (BBI JU). The consortium partners took up this challenge by valorising industrial side streams and setting up a circular approach to the textile industry.
