RFCS Steel Research Projects

Funds early-stage steel research toward near-zero-carbon steelmaking and advanced steel grades, under the Research Fund for Coal & Steel.

Applicants submit the Standard Application Form (RFCS) through the EU Funding & Tenders Portal by the single-stage deadline. This topic carried an indicative EUR 20.5 million share of the wider RFCS-2025 call — the largest single topic across the whole coal-and-steel call — alongside matching coal topics under the same call document.
