Advanced Materials grants in Germany

Open

Funds €3M consortium projects that keep Europe's ageing nuclear fleet running safely, from crack detection to swapping in alternative reactor fuel.

Open

Funds five €3M projects that test the safety of next-generation reactors and their fuel, from small modular designs to Gen-IV concepts.

Open

Funds one €2M project to build EU production of medical isotopes like ytterbium-176, cutting reliance on Russian supply for cancer radiopharmaceuticals.

Open

Funds one €93M wind-energy project — split across breakthrough R&D, technology validation, and at least three real-world demonstrations.

Funds SME consortia up to €120,000 to pilot and test net-zero technologies.

Open

Supports European deep-tech ventures advancing laboratory research toward validated prototypes and near-market technologies.

Open

Funds workshops, conferences and knowledge-sharing that support steel-sector research and the just transition of steel communities.

Open

Funds large 'Big Ticket' steel research and innovation projects with civil-and-defence dual-use relevance under the EU's steel and metals action plan.

Open

Funds pilot and demonstration-scale steel installations that bridge research, innovation and commercialisation, from TRL 4-5 to TRL 7-8.

Open

Funds early-stage steel research, from TRL 1-3 to TRL 4-5, that builds knowledge toward practical steel-industry objectives.

Open

Funds existing ERC grant holders in testing the commercial or societal potential of already-funded research through a fixed EUR 150,000 top-up grant.

Open

Funds research consortia developing the pre-normative science behind future standards for bio-based chemicals, polymers and other bio-based products.

Open

Funds two €5M projects turning marine organisms — algae, fungi, invertebrates — into safer bio-based replacements for adhesives, coatings and chemicals.

Open

Funds two €5M projects building the tech and the market to make recycled electronics a real source of critical raw materials for Europe.

Open

Funds industrial consortia that recycle multilayer plastic food packaging back into food-contact-safe plastic, at scale.

Open

Funds demonstrations that separate poly-blend garments and home fabrics so European recyclers can turn them into new fibre, up to €6M per project.

Funds EU bio-based innovation projects with up to Euro20 million per topic.

Open

Funds one €20M project that turns bio-based chemicals and ingredients into safer, sustainable home and personal care products at industrial scale.

Open

Funds €7M projects that make bio-based additives safer and easier to recycle or biodegrade in products across at least two markets.

Open

Funds one €1.2M project to map barriers and build industry roadmaps for switching from fossil-based to bio-based feedstocks and processes.

Open

Funds one €20M industrial project that scales biotechnology into sustainable biorefineries and market-ready bio-based products.

Open

Funds two €7M projects that make bio-based packaging films and coatings perform better, work in factories and support circular end-of-life routes.

Open

Funds two €7M projects that make durable products from renewable feedstocks and give cross-linked plastics viable recycling, reuse or upcycling routes.

Open

Funds consortia to cut cost, solvent use, energy and water in biorefineries, tested across at least three industrial or demo-scale use cases.
