Find out what's happening in the area of Horizon Europe, Digital Europe and Horizon 2020
The 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 Stargate project obtained funding under the special Green Deal call of Horizon 2020, more in particular under the topic of “green ports and airports”. It received the maximum score of the evaluators and was selected out of more than 40 projects. Stargate’s purpose is to prove that sustainable aviation is possible and happening. It focuses on the further decarbonization of the aviation industry, the improvement of local environmental quality and the stimulation of the modal split. Together with a consortium of 21 European partners with a diverse and rich expertise (airports, community partners, knowledge institutions, consultants, local governments, …), Brussels Airports takes the lead as lighthouse airport to develop and implement innovative solutions. Results that prove successful can be deployed at the fellow airports (Toulouse, Budapest, Athens). Over the course of the coming five years, the consortium will exchange knowledge to investigate and realize more than 30 concrete projects.
