Advanced Materials grants in the United Kingdom

Discontinued

Offers researcher fellowships linking universities, industry, and the Faraday mission to advance energy-storage breakthroughs.

Discontinued

Supports United Kingdom university and deep tech teams by bridging research outputs to follow-on funding.

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

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

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.

Open

Funds two €7M projects turning bark, sawdust and other woody residues into validated bio-based chemicals or materials for sustainable end products.

Open

Funds two €3.25M projects that turn alternative bio-feedstocks into safe, circular polymers tested across at least two markets.

Open

Funds two €3.25M projects that turn sustainable biomass or bio-based textile waste into high-performing, circular fibres.

Funds transnational raw-materials research projects worth up to €2 million each.

Open

Funds three €33.3M pilot lines that turn a working battery-cell chemistry into a vehicle-ready pack for one transport mode.

Open

Funds five €9.5M projects that pair construction innovators with city partners to build and demonstrate circular-economy tools and business models.

Open

Supports developing advanced materials for miniaturised energy harvesters to power IoT and sensor networks autonomously.
