CETIM in Europe

HORIZON EUROPE

Horizon Europe is the European Union’s main funding programme for research and innovation, with a budget of 95.5 billion euros for the period 2021-2027.

At CETIM we have experience in four of the five areas covered by the call:

• Adaptation to climate change, including society transformation.
• Healthy oceans, seas, coastal and inland waters.
• Climate neutral and smart cities.
• Healthy soils and food.

These are some of our success cases in Horizon Europe:

H2020 NICE

Consortium: Tyndall National Institute, CETIM, TESELA, IDP, Fundación Santa María la Real del Patrimonio Histórico, UNINOVA, Università di Bologna, FENIX TNT, Institute of Baltic Studies, Łukasiewicz – Warszawski InstytutTechnologiczny, Politechnika Warszawska y la Câmara Municipal do Funchal

LIFE PROGRAMME

The European Union’s LIFE programme, managed by the European Commission’s European Executive Agency for Climate, Infrastructure and Environment, is the only financial instrument of the European Union exclusively dedicated to the environment and climate action. Since its creation in 1992, more than 920 LIFE projects coordinated by Spain have been approved, contributing to the implementation, updating and development of the Union’s environmental and climate policies and legislation.

The current LIFE 2021-2027 programme has a budget of 5,432 million euros distributed among its four sub-programmes:

• Nature and Biodiversity.
• Circular Economy and Quality of Life.
• Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation.
• Transition to Clean Energy.

At CETIM we know the LIFE programme to perfection, due to our experience as coordinators and participants in the call throughout our trajectory. These are someofoursuccessstories:

LIFE REFOREST

Prevention of erosion and reforestation of the flora of burned forest areas, through an innovative solution of fungi and technosols.

Consortium: CETIM, AFG, FORESTIS, Hifas da Terra, INDUTEC, TEN Tratamientos Ecológicos del Noroeste, Universidade de Aveiro.

LIFE ULISES

Upgrading wastewater treatment plants by Low cost Innovative technologies for energy Self-Sufficiency and full recycling.

Consortium: FCC Aqualia, CETIM, EnergyLab y Universidad de Almería.

INTERREG SUDOE

The European Union funding programme Interreg Sudoe supports regional development and cohesion in the regions of Southwest Europe. For the programming period 2021-2027, the Sudoe programme has a budget from the Fondo Europeo de Desarrollo Regional (FEDER) of €125 million.

An example of our experience in this call is the SUDOE NEWPOWER project, in which we will realise the integral valorisation of agroforestry waste and create new scalable multi-product biorefineries in collaboration with the following consortium:

Universidade de Vigo, Universidade do Minho, CETIM Technological Centre, Universitat de Lleida, Instituto Politécnico de Bragança, Universidad de Zaragoza, InstitutNationalPolytechnique de Toulouse, INRAE, Ingredalia SL, BLC3 Evolution y Revalorem SCCL (beneficiaries); ENCE, TAGUSVALLEY, Forest BioengineeringSolutions, Bodega Lombre, Argal Alimentación, TMAD Soluções em Madeira e Derivados, Instituto Nacional de InvestigaçãoAgrária e Veterinária, Sogibois y Alliance Forets Bois (associatedpartners).
