Call with Digital Partnership and TTC countries is sponsored by European Commission — Horizon Europe. Expected Outcome: The focus needs to be on areas where Digital Partnership countries bring strong complementary expertise, including advanced packaging, heterogeneous integration, and photonic chip technologies. The topic would aim to foster collaboration between European and Digital Partnership countries’ R&I communities. Projects are expected to contribute to the following outcomes: • Innovative design and integration concepts for neuromorphic computing systems supporting very low energy consumption, connectivity, embedded functions for mobile applications. • Alternative manufacturing process technologies for semiconductor chips including frontend or backend for heterogenous integration. The technologies should sustain in the mid- and long-term the fast-paced evolution of device performance, miniaturisation and cost, while reducing the environmental footprint. • Very advanced packaging solutions aiming heterogeneous integration of multiple functions and materials for applications in communication (RF, mmW or THz), sensing, actuating, power management and active/passive integration. Programme areas: Horizon Europe (HORIZON), Global Challenges and European Industrial Competitiveness, Digital, Industry and Space
SSbD bio-based solutions for home and/or personal care is sponsored by European Commission — Horizon Europe. Expected Outcome: Successful proposals will contribute to the Chemicals Strategy for Sustainability and Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation, the Chemical Industry Action Plan, the Clean Industrial Deal as well as the Horizon Europe Mission "Restore our Ocean and Waters by 2030" in particular to Objective 2: "Prevent and eliminate pollution of our oceans, Seas and waters". Projects results are expected to contribute to the following expected outcomes: Full industrial scale biorefinery and related value chain(s) to produce SSbD bio-based solutions for home and/or personal care sector with significantly improved sustainability. Wider availability of bio-based products in home and/or personal care sector meeting both regulatory standards and technical performance requirements. Increased consumer/end user acceptance of bio-based solutions, facilitating market uptake. Contribution to the EU strategic autonomy, resilience and competitiveness, reducing the fossil feedstock dependence for chemicals production and minimising biomass imports dependencies. Scope: The home and personal care sector, including fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) and cosmetics, is a key industry where sustainability and performance challenges and demands are high. SSbD and competitive bio-based solutions are needed, for instance, for solvents, surfactants, preservatives, antimicrobial and antifungals agents, disinfectants, film forming agents, emulsifiers, emollients, exfoliants and abrasives, stabilisers, polymers and thickeners, conditioning agents, active ingredients, and other functional compounds. Despite advancements at demo scale in green chemistry and biotechnologies, further effort is needed to bridge innovation gaps and demonstrate at industrial scale the production of SSbD bio-based alternatives to conventional chemicals and ingredients, while maintaining/enhancing key functional properties in end-products/ formulations, such as physical stability, shelf life, efficacy, prevention of bioaccumulation and biodegradability. Proposals under this topic should: Demonstrate (at TRL 8) the production of SSbD bio-based solution(s) as an alternative to conventional chemicals, ingredients and combinations thereof, that are currently used in the formulation of home and/or personal care products (including cosmetics). SSbd bio-based chemicals/ingredients and biotechnology solutions are both in scope. Materials entering the end product formulation (e.g., granulates, powders, microbeads, micro/nano cellulose) are also in scope, while other materials related to home and personal care applications (e.g., nonwovens, other wipes, packaging) are out of scope. Demonstrate (at TRL 7 and above) the application of the bio-based solution(s) into the formulation of market relevant end-product(s). Assess technical performances of end-product(s), ensuring that their final properties meet market application requirements. Adding new functionalities for specific applications is also in scope. While the topic focuses primarily on home and personal care applications, the demonstrated solution(s) could also be applicable to industrial production processes. When this is the case, validation (at TRL 6) of the industrial use case should be addressed. Test that the release and accumulation of pollutants and harmful substances in the water is being avoided, including microplastics. When biodegradable solutions are targeted, validate biodegradability according to applicable EU/international standards, depending on the substance group and the final application(s). In addition to the specific requirements applicable for the type of action, as described in section 2.2.3.1 of the CBE JU Annual Work Programme 2026 [1] , proposals under this topic should: As part of the multi-actor approach (MAA), involve end-users, including brand owners and consumers when applicable, starting from the early stages to assess market acceptance of the targeted end-products and incorporate insights into Programme areas: Global Challenges and European Industrial Competitiveness, Food, Bioeconomy Natural Resources, Agriculture and Environment, Bio-based Innovation Systems in the EU Bioeconomy, Horizon Europe (HORIZON) Keywords: Biotechnology (non-medical), bioreactors, applied microbiology, Chemical process engineering, Industrial biotechnology, Materials engineering (biomaterials, metals, ceramics, polymers, composites, etc.), bio-based chemicals, bio-based materials, cosmetics, green chemistry, home and personal care, industrial biotechnology, safe and sustainable by design, STEP-Biotech
USDA's FY2026 Distance Learning and Telemedicine NOFO funds end-point equipment for rural schools, clinics, and libraries — but the 15% non-federal match, the hub-and-end-site project architecture, and the scoring weight on rurality and economic need are what determine winners by the June 30, 2026 deadline.
Read articleRET Sites close October 14, 2026 — about nine awards from $5.8 million, capped at $600,000 over three years, with a PI eligibility rule that disqualifies most of the people who write outreach proposals. RET Supplements reach the same money for $15,000 a teacher and are not a competition.
Read articleFuture CoRe (NSF 25-543) advertises $280 million and 400 to 600 awards across 11 programs, with a September 10, 2026 target date. The directorate behind it is running 43 percent below its own four-year average, $1 billion of NSF's budget is locked in a central account, and the two-proposal cap is enforced with no exceptions. Here is how to read the gap between what the solicitation promises and what the directorate is actually paying for.
