Innovative Advanced Materials for construction monitoring and repair
Funds around five research projects, each worth up to EUR 6 million, to build self-monitoring, self-repairing materials for construction products.
Every proposal has to name a business case and an exploitation strategy for the materials it develops, not just describe the science, and it has to bring in Social Sciences and Humanities expertise specifically to study whether people will accept these new construction materials in their homes. Unusually for a Horizon Europe topic, integrating a gender dimension into the research content is explic…
The Commission wants research into advanced materials for construction — cement, concrete, composites, plasterboard, pipes — that can monitor their own condition, self-heal or self-clean, and cut maintenance costs by at least 30 percent. Proposals should also make the resulting products easier to recycle at end of life.
