Call content
Call objectives | The Commission initiative for Safe and Sustainable by Design sets a framework for assessing safety and sustainability of chemicals and materials, which should be considered as a reference in the proposal. For an effective substitution of substances of concern it is crucial that the developed alternatives provide the functionality that is required of those that are replaced (e.g., water or dirt repellent properties, insulation, etc.), and have an improved safety and sustainability performance. The integration by computational modelling of the chemicals and materials functionality with the Safe and Sustainable by Design framework will have a key role in the green and digital transition of the European industry. These tools will allow the exploration of which technical solutions are the most appropriate for respecting the Safe and Sustainable by Design requirements in a cost- and policy-effective manner and thereby accelerate the innovation process for Safe and Sustainable by Design chemicals and materials. Proposals should therefore:
Proposals should indicate to which chapters of the Strategic Research and Innovation Plan for chemicals and materials they would contribute. Research should build on existing standards, where possible, and contribute to standardisation. Proposals submitted under this topic should include a business case and exploitation strategy, as outlined in the introduction to this Destination. A strategy for skills development should be presented, associating social partners when relevant, for developers of computational modelling and users of the models. Projects should build on or seek collaboration with existing projects and develop synergies with other relevant European, national or regional initiatives, funding programmes and platforms, such as projects resulting from the topics HORIZON-CL4-2021-RESILIENCE-01-08, HORIZON-CL6-2023-ZEROPOLLUTION and/or HORIZON-CL4-2023-RESILIENCE-01-39. Proposals should allocate the necessary resources for collaboration with other relevant projects. Synergies with Horizon Europe missions as relevant are encouraged. read more |

Project Partnership | To be eligible for funding, applicants must be established in one of the following countries:
Only legal entities forming a consortium are eligible to participate in actions provided that the consortium includes, as beneficiaries, three legal entities independent from each other and each established in a different country as follows:
Any legal entity, regardless of its place of establishment, including legal entities from non-associated third countries or international organisations (including international European research organisations) is eligible to participate (whether it is eligible for funding or not), provided that the conditions laid down in the Horizon Europe Regulation have been met, along with any other conditions laid down in the specific call topic. A ‘legal entity’ means any natural or legal person created and recognised as such under national law, EU law or international law, which has legal personality and which may, acting in its own name, exercise rights and be subject to obligations, or an entity without legal personality.

Additional Information | All proposals must be submitted electronically via the Funders & Tenders Portal electronic submission system (accessible via the topic page in the Search Funding & Tenders section). Paper submissions are NOT possible. Proposals must be complete and contain all parts and mandatory annexes and supporting documents, e.g. plan for the exploitation and dissemination of the results including communication activities, etc. The application form will have two parts:
Annexes and supporting documents will be directly available in the submission system and must be uploaded as PDF files (or other formats allowed by the system). The limit for a full application (Part B) is 50 pages. In order to include a business case and exploitation strategy, the page limit in part B of the General Annexes is exceptionally extended by 3 pages. Eligible costs will take the form of a lump sum. |
