This funding call, under the Horizon Europe CBE JU program, seeks innovative research projects focusing on the development of safe-and-sustainable-by-design (SSbD) bio-based coating materials for demanding or extreme conditions. The call emphasizes advancing bio-based innovations to replace fossil-based coatings, aiming for improved sustainability, safety, and performance. Targeted industries include transport, construction, energy, and more. Proposals must address technical challenges such as durability, hydrophobicity, and resistance to extreme conditions. Collaborative efforts are encouraged, involving end-users for testing and validation. Alignment with EU policies, including the Circular Economy Action Plan and Zero Pollution Action Plan, is expected.
