Advanced Materials grants in Switzerland

Closed

Pays a EUR 90 million lump sum to a consortium of national and regional research-funding bodies, which then runs its own joint annual calls handing out grants of up to EUR 2 million to individual raw-materials projects.

Closed

Co-funds a new European research partnership on forests and forestry, which then re-grants money to research projects through its own joint calls.

Closed

Funds a pan-European network of 10-18 startup and scaleup hubs that can pass on up to EUR 60,000 per deep-tech startup for cross-border scaling support.

Closed

Funds around three projects, each worth EUR 5 to 7 million, to find new European deposits of critical raw materials using AI-driven geological modelling.

Closed

Funds research projects that cut degradation and extend the working life of high-efficiency crystalline silicon PV modules and systems.

Closed

Pays one European consortium EUR 1 million to coordinate the 2D-materials research community, including Graphene Flagship projects, and keep a live map of European funding in the field.

Funds research into components and monitoring tools that make low-temperature water electrolysers safer to operate.

Closed

Funds around four projects, each worth up to EUR 7.5 million, to build higher-quality metal-recycling systems from collection through to renaturing old mine sites.

Closed

Funds development of tests and methods that verify how durable, repairable and recyclable a product actually is, for one of seven priority product groups.

Closed

Funds around five research projects, each worth up to EUR 6 million, to build self-monitoring, self-repairing materials for construction products.

Closed

Funds around five projects, each worth up to EUR 6 million, to develop fast-curing, recyclable coatings and sealants for manufacturing lines.

Closed

Funds around three research projects, each worth up to EUR 5 million, to develop new materials for wearable and flexible electronics.

Closed

Funds around two research projects, each worth up to EUR 5 million, to develop low-power advanced materials for photonic telecom chips.

Closed

Funds a Europe-wide consortium of public procurers to prepare joint pre-commercial or public procurement of innovative advanced-materials solutions.

Closed

Funds large-scale demonstrations of low-emission, climate-resilient materials and methods for building and maintaining transport infrastructure.

Closed

Funds around three projects, each worth EUR 5 to 7 million, to develop safer, lower-emission ways to mine complex or hard-to-reach mineral deposits.

Funds a research project that develops and demonstrates a lightweight, reliable liquid hydrogen tank for hydrogen-powered aircraft.

Closed

Funds industrial consortia that develop more sustainable, cost-effective ways to extract, process or refine raw materials used in semiconductor manufacturing.

Closed

Funds industrial consortia that develop remanufacturing technology and processes to double the volume of remanufactured components made in the EU.

Closed

Funds projects that adapt existing battery production lines for the shift from liquid-electrolyte to solid-state lithium-ion cells.

Closed

Funds research into silver- and indium-free silicon PV modules that last up to 40 years and are designed to be recycled and repaired.

Closed

Funds a single project to build a Europe-wide federated digital infrastructure connecting national labs, data and AI tools for advanced-materials research.

Closed

Funds one coordination project, worth EUR 4 million, to build the EU's knowledge base on secondary raw materials such as waste batteries and WEEE.

Closed

Funds research into new point-source or direct-air CO2 capture technologies that cut capture costs and environmental impact.
