Programmes EICThe Challenges from this edition are about:
Solar-to-X devices: To make progress towards synthetic fuels and chemical technologies integrating all necessary conversion steps into a single device, solely and directly driven by solar energy.
Towards cement and concrete as a carbon sink: To support breakthrough innovations and (alternative) pathways for decarbonised and carbon-negative cement and concrete.
Nature inspired alternatives for food packaging and films for agriculture: To support interdisciplinary research leading to the development and production of sustainable nature inspired alternatives for food packaging and agricultural production such as, but not limited to, greenhouse and mulch films. To replace the use of fossil-carbon-based plastics from farm to fork and thereby support EU policy ambitions to move towards a more circular, resource efficient economy.
Naoelectronics for energy efficient smart edge devices: To explore solutions that will have a drastic impact on decreasing the power consumption of any smart edge device, especially for Edge Processing and memories, Edge Sensing and Imaging, Edge Communication and Edge Power Management.
Strengthening the sustainable and resilience of EU space infrastructure: To support the development of innovations strengthening the protection of EU space infrastructure. To develop technologies for space debris mitigation and active debris removal and concepts for in-space recycling of dysfunctional orbital assets.

The European Commission has opened a call for evidence to collect research and best practices on how to simplify its legislation, especially when it comes to data, cybersecurity and artificial intelligence (AI). This initiative is part of the Commission’s simplification agenda and efforts to create a more favourable business environment, by... read more
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.
