The KIC call Circular economy is now open for proposals. Researchers, companies and organisations interested in the transition from a linear to a circular economy with a focus on trust, behavior and acceptance can submit a pre-proposal before February 14, 2023.
Aim of the call
The aim of this Call for proposals is to encourage interdisciplinary research that contributes to the acceleration and societal embedding of the transition from a linear to a circular economy. Realising this requires technological developments, such as the development of circular production and consumption processes, as well as a better understanding of possible new forms of collaboration, consuming and doing business. The call 'Circular economy: behavior, trust and acceptance' is part of line 1 (MISSION) of the KIC Energy transition and Sustainability and originated from the part-KIA Circular Economy (KIA CE).
Budget
A budget of 5 million euros is available for this call. Expected is to grant a maximum of five proposals within this call.
Matchmaking

All parties mentioned above are therefore cordially invited to participate in the meeting.
