Innovative construction and maintenance, with the use of new materials and techniques, for resilient and sustainable transport infrastructure
Funds large-scale demonstrations of low-emission, climate-resilient materials and methods for building and maintaining transport infrastructure.
This Innovation Action from the European Commission funds around two projects, worth roughly EUR 11 million each, to demonstrate low-emission, climate-resilient materials and methods for building and maintaining transport infrastructure at large scale. Activities may start at any technology readiness level but are expected to reach TRL 7 by the project's end. Proposals must validate every proposed…
The Commission wants projects that demonstrate new construction, maintenance and repair methods for transport infrastructure that cut emissions, use recycled materials, and improve resilience to extreme weather, across the full life cycle from sourcing materials through decommissioning.
