The Circular Bio-based Europe Joint Undertaking (CBE JU) has published its 2026 Annual Work Programme, unveiling a substantial call for project proposals with a total budget of €170.7 million to support sustainable and competitive bio-based innovation across Europe. This upcoming 2026 call will open for submissions on 23 April 2026 and close on 22 September 2026, inviting collaborative research, innovation, and industrial deployment initiatives under Horizon Europe’s framework.
CBE JU will host complementary events to support applicants, including an Info Day webinar, providing guidance on call topics, rules, and practical tips for proposal preparation, and an in-person Networking Event in Brussels to help potential partners build strong consortia. These opportunities will be essential for researchers, industry leaders, SMEs, and universities seeking to engage in Europe’s circular bio-based ecosystem.
For VALZEO, this represents an excellent moment to explore future funding paths that align with its mission of advancing circular bioeconomy solutions, from zeolite-based technologies and waste valorisation to sustainable water treatment and environmental impact assessment. VALZEO partners and broader networks are encouraged to participate, network, and prepare for the upcoming call.
