Interreg Meuse-Rhine (NL-BE-DE) Call 8 (Interreg Maas-Rijn/Meuse-Rhin/Maas-Rhein (Niederlande-Belgien-Deutschland))

• Circular economy One priority is the circular economy. The programme is looking for practical cross-border initiatives that help speed up the move towards a greener economy that uses materials and energy more wisely. This can include, for example: • new circular products, • smarter production processes, • circular business models, • knowledge exchange on reuse of resources, • material cycles, • raw material transition, • and circular or smart buildings • Einstein Telescope The second priority is linked to the possible arrival of the Einstein Telescope in the programme area. The focus is not on the scientific side itself, but on the innovation opportunities around it. The programme is looking for projects that help SMEs take part in the development of key technologies connected to the Einstein Telescope. These innovations may also create new uses in other sectors and applications. This is not a capitalization call. That means you can only apply with new project ideas, not expand on existing, granted ones. The budget only allows for a limited number of projects. Only projects that strongly match the two themes should apply.
