EU - Bio-Based Industries JTI, Call 2016
The Call 2016 of the Bio-Based Industries JTI will be published on April 18th
BBI JTI
The Bio-Based Industries Joint Technology Initiative (BBI JTI) is a new 3,7 billion of euros Public-Private Partnership between the EU and the Bio-based Industries Consortium. Operating under Horizon 2020, it is based upon the Vision and Strategic Innovation and Research Agenda (SIRA) developed by the industry.
A strong European bio-based industrial sector will significantly reduce Europe’s dependency on fossil-based products, help the EU meet climate change targets, and lead to greener and more environmentally friendly growth.
Call 2016
The call foresees different topics:
- BBI 2016.R1 - Valorisation of the organic content of wastewater as feedstock, contributing to the renewable circular economy
