The Info Days will present the Research and Innovation topics of the Horizon Europe Cluster 6 (Food, Bioeconomy, Natural Resources, Agriculture and Environment) Work Programme 2023 and will give the opportunity to prospective applicants to learn more about funding opportunities.
On 14 December at 9:00-12:30 CET, the session will present Cluster 6 topics in Destination 3 – Circular economy and bioeconomy sectors.
Destination 3 topics target:
- climate-neutrality,
- zero pollution,
- fair and just circular and bioeconomy transitions,
covering safe integrated circular solutions at territorial and sectoral levels for important material flows and product value chains, such as:
- the textile,
- electronics,
- chemicals,
- packaging,
- tourism,
- plastics and
- construction, as well as
- key bioeconomy sectors such as:
- sustainable bio-based systems,
- sustainable forestry,
- small-scale rural bio-based solutions,
- environmental services and
- aquatic (including marine and freshwater) value chains.
With this approach, the destination supports the European Green Deal, and in particular European initiatives such as:
- Circular Economy Action Plan,
- Strategy on adaptation to climate change,
- Zero pollution action plan, with the chemicals strategy for sustainability and the new approach for a sustainable blue economy,
- Forest Strategy,
- Climate law targeting climate-neutrality by 2050 and
- AFOLU (Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use) climate neutrality by 2035, which supports increased focus on bio-based circular consumption, as part of the Fit for 55 package and the new European Bauhaus initiative.
Furthermore, the Horizon Europe work programme for 2023-2024 will play a critical role in implementing the EU strategy for sustainable textiles, and support other initiatives including:
- the Industrial Strategy,
- the EU chemicals strategy for sustainability,
- the SME Strategy,
- the 2018 Bioeconomy Strategy,
- the communication on sustainable carbon cycles,
- the sustainable blue economy approach and its offshoot initiatives,
- the Biodiversity Strategy for 2030,
- the Farm to Fork Strategy,
- the upcoming EU agenda for tourism,
- the plastics strategy and the action plan on critical raw materials.
The event will be followed by a brokerage event on 19 December to bring together potential applicants and stakeholders of the new Research & Innovation programme. Circular economy stakeholders may also be interested in other thematic topics. For a detailed agenda, participation information and practical details, visit the event website.
