BIO BASED INDUSTRIES
Finanziamenti Horizon 2020: aperta la call 2017 per BIO BASED INDUSTRIES
Il BBI JU (BIO BASED INDUSTRIES Joint Undertaking) è il partenariato pubblico-privato tra l’Unione Europea, rappresentata dalla Commissione Europea ed il Bio-based Industries Consortium (BIC), un’associazione di quasi 250 membri che include grandi imprese, PMI, Cluster di PMI, Università, piattaforme tecnologiche ed associazioni di tutta Europa.
Le bio-industrie sono industrie che utilizzano risorse biologiche rinnovabili per la produzione di prodotti provenienti da fonti rinnovabili e biocarburanti. La produzione avviene solitamente in bioraffinerie. Il BBI JU segue le regole del Programma Horizon 2020 ed è responsabile per l’implementazione di calls for proposals per RIA (Research and Innovation Actions), IA (Innovation Actions) e CSA (Coordination and Support Actions).
Lo scorso 11 aprile è stata aperta la Call 2017, con deadline fissata al 07/09/2017. Si riporta di seguito l’elenco dei topic per la sottomissione di proposte progettuali:
- BBI.2017.D1: Valorisation of liquid and solid side streams from bio-based operations into high added-value products to create new feedstock for bio-based products
