Enhancing EU R&I Horizon Europe

The European Commission has launched a call for evidence to help shape the first action plan for women in research, innovation and start-ups. The EU’s action plan will address persistent gender gaps and promote diversity, equality and inclusiveness in the European Research Area (ERA). The plan aims to make the ERA the world’s most attractive place for women to work in research, innovation and startups by 2030. This initiative is aligned with the Choose Europe campaign, promoting the continent's research environment, quality of life and dedication to diversity and inclusion. The call is open to contributions from citizens, businesses, policymakers, academics and civil society organisations. It is open until 23 February 2026 on the Have Your Say portal.

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.
