Deadline: 14-Sep-21
The European Commission (EC) is seeking proposals for Modelling the role of the circular economy for climate change mitigation to advance the understanding and modelling of the current and future potential contribution of the circular economy in Europe to GHG emissions reductions.
The scope of the modelling activities has to go beyond the state-of-the-art, in particular in terms of sectors covered and their interrelations, be as comprehensive as possible (e.g. covering also the blue economy), and include citizen’s behaviours and engagement.
Funding Information
The check will normally be done for the coordinator if the requested grant amount is equal to or greater than EUR 500 000, except for:
- public bodies (entities established as a public body under national law, including local, regional or national authorities) or international organisations; and
- cases where the individual requested grant amount is not more than EUR 60 000 (lowvalue grant).
Expected Outcomes
Project results are expected to contribute to all of the following expected outcomes:
- Improve existing European and/or global climate mitigation models by better representation of basic industrial value chains (including reliable data) and potential mitigation technologies including the impact of circular economy.
- Improve the quantification of the impacts and potentials of the circular economy for climate change mitigation.
- Support the integration of the circular economy into climate action, policies and their evidence base, including externalities.
- Support the integration of the GHG emission reduction / mitigation in the circular economy criteria.
Eligibility Criteria
To be eligible for funding, applicants must be established in one of the eligible countries, i.e.:
- the Member States of the European Union, including their outermost regions;
- the Overseas Countries and Territories (OCTs) linked to the Member States;
- eligible non-EU countries:
- countries associated to Horizon Europe;
- low- and middle-income countries.
