Promote Swedish participation in Horisont Europa: planning project in Sustainable industry 2022

Swedish industry has potential to lead the transition to a sustainable society, both within and outside the country´s borders. Vinnova wants to strengthen Swedish organisations´ opportunities to participate in Horisont Europas calls within sustainable industry. With this call for proposals, we want to finance planning projects for Swedish actors so that they can turn their project ideas into competitive applications for the Horisont Europas work program. This offering is a call within Vinnova´s priority area Sustainable industry. This means that project results are expected to contribute to one or more of Sustainable Industry´s long-term impact goals: Climate-neutral and circular production, Resource-efficient and resilient value chains, Global competitiveness and A social sustainable industry. The offer is therefore limited to the calls within Horisont Europa listed in Appendix 1.
