Horizon Europe
Horizon Europe is one of the largest funding programmes for research and innovation worldwide. The content is oriented towards important societal issues such as health, sustainable development and digitalisation. The central goal is to promote excellence in European science. Citizens are to be more involved and the positive benefits of research and innovation - for example, through advances in health or the environment - are to be communicated even more clearly. The so-called missions with clearly defined goals also serve this purpose. The EU Research Framework Programme is based on three pillars: Scientific Excellence, Global Challenges and European Industrial Competitiveness and Innovative Europe. They are complemented by the area Widening participation and strengthening the European Research Area. Horizon Europe runs from 2021 to 2027.

Multi-level Circular Process Chain for Carbon and Glass Fibre Composites
Coordination | Profactor GmbH (AUT) |
Technology area | Materials engineering, Circular Economy, Recycling |
Application area | Building industry, lightweight construction, aerospace, automotive industry, boat building, sports equipment, transport sector |
Short description | Components made of carbon and glass fibre composites are essential for numerous technical applications, but difficult to recycle. In addition, during the production of composite parts, waste is produced that can be reintroduced into the production process for other components. The project investigates circular approaches for the reuse of carbon and glass fibre composites and develops process technologies and quality assurance methods that enable the economic recycling of carbon and glass fibre components. MC4 will focus on different reuse and recycling processes along the life cycle of composite parts. These include:
