M-ERA-Call 2021 out now! Pre-proposals in materials research in June 2021!
M-ERA.NET 3, the pan-European and international network for research and innovation on materials and battery technologies, supporting the European Green Deal, launched its Call 2021 on 15 March 2021.
45 national and regional funding organisations from 32 countries are participating in that call with an indicative total budget of more than 57 Million €, including EC top-up-funding.
The Call 2020 includes the following thematic areas:
- Modelling for materials engineering, processing, properties and durability,
- Innovative surfaces, coatings and interfaces
- High performance composites
- Functional materials
- New strategies for advanced material-based technologies in health applications
- Materials for additive manufacturing
Transversal priority: research on future batteries:
Research on batteries is a key objective of the Call 2021 and clearly addressed in the scope of multiple topics.
The transnational joint-projects funded by M-ERA.NET are expected to contribute to clean energy-related applications and battery technologies by improving the efficiency of production processes, reducing the usage of materials and energy resources and by improving materials properties such as durability. New approaches to health applications with the focus on advanced materials and coatings will also be addressed.
Minimum hard facts: joint projects with at least 3 Partners from at least 2 countries (at least 2 EU-member states). For TU Dresden members funding is provided by BMBF (via Projektträger Jülich) and SMWK (via Sächsische Aufbaubank). Deadline for mandatory pre-proposals is 15 June 2021.
An information webinar will be organized on 25 March 2021 from 11:00 – 12:30 (Brussels time). All the details on topics, participating countries/regions and information webinar can be found on the Call 2021 information page.
