Advanced Materials grants in the United Kingdom

Closed

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

Closed

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

Closed

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

Closed

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

Closed

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

Closed

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

Closed

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

Closed

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

Closed

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

Closed

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

Closed

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.

Closed

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

Closed

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

Closed

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

Closed

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.
