Transnational Eureka Lightweighting Call – 2026

About this call Funding information The increasing scarcity of resources, rising energy prices and the necessary transition to a climate-neutral economy require new approaches in material and product development. Lightweight construction, as a key technology for resource efficiency and emission reduction, plays a major role in the context of those requirements and goals. At the same time, the transformation to a circular economy requires products that are designed from the outset to be resource-efficient, reusable, and recyclable. Therefore, the European Lightweighting Network (ELN), together with support from countries worldwide, aims to fund research and development projects focused on lightweighting design . The objective is to stimulate the deployment, demonstration, and showcasing of advanced materials, innovative design methodologies, and digital solutions that seamlessly integrate lightweighting with circular value creation.…
