    What this call funds

    This call funds research and development projects that create new advanced materials designed to be recycled and reused, such as recyclable polymers, composites, magnets, and metal alloys for 3D printing. It aims to help these materials move quickly from lab design to real industrial products, especially in the energy and construction sectors, while also developing business models to make circular materials commercially viable.
