Preview on the drafts of the program “Digital, industry and space”: 15 call for green and digital transition
The drafts of the work program of the cluster “Digital, industry and space” report the details of 15 call to support the transition towards a digital and green economy and for a strategic autonomy of Europe. The final programs will be published in April but, as he reports “Science|Business” drafts circulating on research association websites, universities and consulting firms provide enough detail for researchers to start preparing their questions.
Among the “invitations” foreseen, in addition to the topics of sustainable production, Cleaner steel, AI for the Green Deal, Space research for more sustainable transport and international cooperation, there is the theme of “Green buildings”
For the “Green buildings” the work program includes calls for projects that reduce construction and demolition waste and recycle waste into co-products. Research funded through this call will help increase by 50% the reuse of material from demolitions, states the draft.
The Commission also wants Horizon Europe beneficiaries to help the EU develop its own digital technologies for the construction sector.
