RFCS Steel Research Projects

Funds early-stage steel research, from TRL 1-3 to TRL 4-5, that builds knowledge toward practical steel-industry objectives.

Applicants submit a Standard Application Form (RFCS) through the Portal by the single-stage deadline. The topic carries an indicative EUR 20.5 million share of the wider RFCS-2026 call — the largest single topic across the whole coal-and-steel call.
