Il BBI JU (BIO BASED INDUSTRIES Joint Undertaking) è il partenariato pubblico-privato tra l’Unione Europea, rappresentata dalla Commissione Europea ed il Bio-based Industries Consortium (BIC), un’associazione di quasi 250 membri che include grandi imprese, PMI, Cluster di PMI, Università, piattaforme tecnologiche ed associazioni di tutta Europa. Il BBI JU è responsabile per l’implementazione di calls for proposals per RIA (Research and Innovation Actions), IA (Innovation Actions) e CSA (Coordination and Support Actions), in linea con regole di partecipazione al programma Horizon 2020.
La BBI JU Call for proposals 2018 è stata aperta lo scorso 11 aprile ed ha data di chiusura al 06/09/2018. Si riporta di seguito l’elenco dei topic per la sottomissione di proposte progettuali:
- BBI.2018.SO1.D1: Improve the logistical and pre-processing steps of locally sourced biomass to serve as feedstock for the bio-based industry;
- BBI.2018.SO1.D2: Find solutions to dilution, pollution and content diversity challenges to turn mixed urban bio-waste (1) into sustainable feedstock for the bio-based industry;
- BBI.2018.SO2.D3: Valorise sugars from the cellulosic and/or hemicellulosic fractions of lignocellulosic biomass;
- BBI.2018.SO1.R1: Resolve logistical, infrastructural and technological challenges to valorise residual and side streams from aquaculture, fisheries and the aquatic biomass processing industries;
- BBI.2018.SO2.R2: Develop techniques and systems to improve the performance of biocatalysts;
- BBI.2018.SO2.R4: Apply advanced biotechnologies to convert biomass that contains inhibitors into high value-added chemicals and materials;
- BBI.2018.SO2.R3: Introduce new technologies to make pulping operations more resource-efficient;
