The BBI JU is the largest and most ambitious initiative ever launched in the EU to develop competitive and sustainable bio-based industries. The ambition that drove its creation was to bring about the systemic change needed to develop a European bio-based industry allowing investments to remain in Europe. Thereby, BBI JU makes a strong impact in creating new jobs and clear value to all EU citizens.<\/strong><\/p>\n

With a total budget of \u20ac 115 million, the 2018 Call is the fifth in a total of seven for the period between 2017 and 2020 and is built around 4 strategic orientations: Feedstock, Process, Products, and Market uptake. The current Call moves away from a strict biomass feedstock \u2018push\u2019 based on historic value chains, towards a demand for biomass that enables processing in order to respond adequately to a \u2018pull\u2019 from the end markets. A total of 21 topics are included in the 2018 Call with 11 Research and Innovation Action (RIA) topics, 3 Coordination and Support Actions (CSA) and 7 Innovation Actions (5 DEMOs and 2 Flagships) while novel eligibility criteria have also been introduced.<\/p>\n

BBI JU\u2019s current project portfolio is well-balanced between the type of actions and across the value chains having achieved an excellent SME participation of 38% of beneficiaries. Similar to previous Calls, the one of 2018 also respects the Horizon 2020 principles of openness, transparency and excellence.<\/p>\n

On the occasion of the 2018 Call\u2019s opening Philippe Mengal, BBI JU Executive Director commented: \u2018\u2019All of us in BBI JU, together with our founding partners the European Commission and the Bio-based Industries Consortium (BIC) are proud to see the development and the geographical spread of the projects covering all corners of our continent. Every Call is a step closer towards the creation of EU\u2019s bio-based sector and it is exciting to see sectors such as the primary one to start developing such a strong interest and presence on the field. This is a clear indication that more actors see the potential, the creation of a sustainable and competitive bio-based sector has for Europe and its citizens\u2019\u2019.<\/p>\n

The deadline for submission of proposals to the BBI JU 2018 Call is 6 September 2018 at 17:00 CET. More information about the 2018 Call will be provided during the BBI JU Info Day on the 17th of April in Brussels.<\/p>\n
