Call: Eco-Innovation
The 2011 Call for Proposals for the Eco-Innovation Programme (within the CIP Programme for industry competitiveness) was published on 27 April. This year's priority themes are:
• Materials recycling
• Sustainable building products
• Food and drink sector
• Water
• Greening businesses
The programme aims to support the uptake of new manufacturing processes, products or services, and management and business methods that are likely to prevent or reduce the effects of negative environmental impacts or which contribute to the optimal use of resources. Although priority will be given to SMEs and private beneficiaries, the call may also be of interest to enterprise-support organisations. Clusters of applicants and projects which demonstrate a European added value and have a high potential for market replication are strongly encouraged.
Video footage and presentations from the programme's recent information day in Brussels are available online. A budget of EUR36 million (50% grant rate) is available.
Deadline: 8 September
