Between cycles

Supports Dutch small and medium enterprises developing dual-use space, quantum, and advanced material technologies for security innovation.

Between cycles

Supports Dutch small and medium high-tech businesses partnering with researchers to build scalable hardware, quantum, and robotic technologies.

Open

Funds a €9.4M lithium-ion battery recycling pilot line in India, matched to a separately funded Indian project on the same schedule.

Open

Funds four €7.1M projects that make battery electrode materials cleaner to produce — via greener refining or plant-based sourcing instead of mined graphite.

Open

Funds €15–25M lump-sum projects led by industry to mature energy, power, storage, fuels or CCU solutions from TRL 6 to market-ready deployment.

Open

Funds a €15M continuation of the CONNECT-NM nuclear materials partnership, open only to its sitting coordinator and any partners it adds.

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.
