KIC Circular Economy: Trust, Behaviour and Acceptance

Research consortia, together with public and private collaboration partners and cofunders, can apply for funding for interdisciplinary research on the financial, organisational and societal aspects of the transition to a circular economy.

Purpose
The aim of this call for proposals is to encourage interdisciplinary research that contributes to the acceleration and societal embedding of the transition from a linear to a circular economy. To achieve this technological developments are required, such as the development of circular production and consumption processes, as well as a better understanding of possible new forms of collaboration, consuming and doing business. Research can be aimed at the changes needed to support and boost the transition to a circular economy in the short or longer term. This call strives towards integral research projects where multiple research directions converge to contribute to knowledge within one or more of the research themes.

Deadlines

• The deadline for the submission of preproposals is 14 February 2023, 14:00:00 CET
• The deadline for the submission of proposals is 12 September 2023, 14:00:00 CEST
