Alternative biomanufacturing routes for natural and synthetic rubber

This program targets a broad spectrum of organizations and entities across EU and Associated Countries, focusing on those capable of advancing sustainable biomanufacturing solutions for rubber. The primary goal is to support the EU's strategic autonomy and industrial competitiveness in the bioeconomy, particularly in sectors reliant on rubber.

Funding is provided for research and innovation projects focused on developing sustainable, bio-based alternatives for rubber. This includes identifying new biological sources, advancing biomanufacturing processes, and testing new materials for real-world applications across multiple industries.

The program offers grant funding to support innovative research in biomanufacturing. Each selected project can receive significant financial contributions, contributing to the development of sustainable rubber alternatives.

Applicants must adhere to specific administrative, financial, and operational conditions, along with broader environmental and strategic considerations. Compliance with Horizon Europe general annexes and CBE JU specific conditions is essential.

The application process involves preparing a proposal according to specified templates and submitting it through a single-stage process. Evaluation and award procedures follow established Horizon Europe guidelines.

The program operates under the robust legal framework of the European Union, primarily deriving its authority from the Horizon Europe framework and specific decisions related to its implementation, alongside dedicated financial regulations.
