Advanced Materials grants in the Netherlands

Closed

Pays three European projects EUR 7.5 million each to develop advanced-materials sensors, from multifunctional surfaces to miniaturised wearable devices, with a guaranteed award in each of two research areas.

Funds research into new insulation concepts that make bulk liquid hydrogen shipping cheaper and more reliable.

Funds research into next-generation reversible proton conducting ceramic cells for hydrogen production and use at kilowatt scale.

Closed

Funds research combining construction products and building systems to minimise whole-life carbon, validated in at least three countries.

Closed

Funds consortiums including a silicon wafer manufacturer to develop cheaper, lower-energy ways to grow silicon ingots and wafers for solar cells.

Closed

Funds around nine projects, each worth EUR 5 to 8 million, to recover secondary raw materials from industrial waste and end-of-use products.

Funds one project to map, replace, reduce and safely dispose of PFAS chemicals used in medicines, vaccines, devices and diagnostics.

Closed

Funds teams that build life-cycle-assessment datasets and digital tools measuring a product's environmental footprint, for one of seven product groups.

Closed

Funds research into re-assembling reclaimed construction products locally, using tools like Digital Product Passports to trace materials and unlock new circular business models.

Closed

Funded large-scale pilot and demonstration coal-transition projects reaching TRL 7-8, aimed at repurposing mine sites and cutting methane and mine-water impacts.

Closed

Funds talent-building and policy-overview work for the steel sector's near-zero-carbon transition, alongside the Research Fund for Coal & Steel's steel research topics.

Closed

Funded large-scale pilot and demonstration steel-recycling and residue-valorisation projects reaching TRL 7-8, tied to the EU's Clean Industrial Deal.

Closed

Funded large-scale pilot and demonstration projects for new low-carbon steelmaking processes and advanced steel grades, reaching TRL 7-8.

Closed

Funds pilot and demonstration-scale steel installations working toward near-zero-carbon steelmaking, under the Research Fund for Coal & Steel.

Closed

Funds early-stage steel research toward near-zero-carbon steelmaking and advanced steel grades, under the Research Fund for Coal & Steel.

Closed

Funds research into industrial processing technologies that cut the use of hazardous substances and reduce health, safety and environmental risks beyond CO2.

Closed

Funds around four projects, each worth up to EUR 7 million, to develop non-PFAS chemicals for electronics, construction, textiles and automotive parts.

Closed

Funds industrial substitutes for substances of concern, covering design, production, manufacturing integration and market uptake.

Funds research into scalable materials and reactors that split water into hydrogen directly using concentrated solar energy.

Closed

Funds research that solves system-level problems in carbon-neutral iron and steel making caused by variable-quality input materials.

Funds scale-up of safe-and-sustainable bio-based polymers or co-polymers that match or beat fossil-based alternatives on performance.

Funds demonstration of safe-and-sustainable bio-based chemicals or processes that replace hazardous coatings, dyes and solvents used in making textiles.

Closed

Funds large, multi-year projects that drive full implementation of an existing circular economy, waste, water or air quality plan, with EUR 56 million set aside for this topic in 2025.

Closed

Funds joint EU-and-partner-country projects that extract or process critical raw materials more sustainably, pairing an EU downstream user with industry from one of four named strategic-partner country groups.
