Opis
Expected Outcome:
Project results are expected to contribute to all of the following expected outcomes:
• material and product manufacturers apply relevant ecodesign, including design for circularity and design for recycling principles in developing and manufacturing products that contribute significantly to EU climate and through reduction of emissions and resource extraction to biodiversity goals, zero pollution, water resilience, circular economy, as well as open strategic autonomy;
• consumers benefit from more sustainable and circular products, i.e. durable, reliable, reusable, reparable, upgradable, recyclable products including increased recycled content.
Scope:
Electrical and electronic equipment continues to be one of the fastest growing waste streams in the EU, with current annual growth rates of 2%. It is estimated that less than 40% of electronic waste is collected in the EU.[1] Value is lost when fully or partially functional products are discarded because they are not reparable, the battery cannot be replaced, the software is no longer supported, or materials incorporated in devices are not recovered.
Increasing recovery of critical raw materials from waste electrical and electronic equipment is a strategic priority to mitigate supply risks. Today, CRM recovery rates are generally low, with increases requiring new recovery processes and interface optimisation with pre-processing to ensure appropriate material flows for efficient recovery are generated.[2]
Proposals should:
• develop, test and demonstrate new or improved ecodesign of consumer electronics, including design for durability, reusability, reparability, disassembly, separability, recyclability, uptake of recycled content. This may include design solutions for the reuse of components and for easier dismantling leading to increased reparability, remanufacturing or recycling with use of solutions and technologies such as active disassembly/debonding materials and adhesives, and design solutions targeting critical and strategic raw materials;
• assess and provide recommendations for mechanisms and incentives to address the trade-offs with costs and innovation limitations and to reward design for circularity and product durability – such as extended guarantees, “second” VAT reduction, or others –, and test and demonstrate new business models such as leasing and product-service-systems, to the extent that they reinforce positive design changes.
Proposed solutions need to be aligned with chemical safety principles (SSbD) and in compliance with relevant legislation such as RoHS. The environmental performance of the proposed solutions in comparison to existing products should be evaluated from a lifecycle perspective using product environmental footprint methodology wherever applicable. Participation of partners from (associated) countries with actual electronics production is encouraged. Participation of SMEs is encouraged. Consumer benefits are at the centre of this topic, and it is vital that the consumer perspective is duly reflected in all activities. The topic requires the effective contribution of SSH disciplines and involvement of SSH experts in order to produce meaningful and significant effects enhancing the societal impact of the related activities.
This topic supports the implementation of the European Green Deal, the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation and its working plan, in particular with a view to the reparability of small household appliances, the WEEE Directive, contribute to waste prevention, higher circularity and uptake of recyclate, and Europe’s efforts to develop a single market for sustainable products.

- Ograniczenie dotyczące wnioskodawcy
- General Annex B also excludes public Chinese universities administered by or under the supervision of China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) from any action under all parts of this Work Programme. This records a source-stated potential eligibility restriction; it does not adjudicate any applicant’s status.
- Ograniczenie dotyczące wnioskodawcy
- General Annex B bars legal entities established in China from Innovation Actions and, unless a stated destination exception applies, from Research and Innovation Actions, including participation in any capacity for the listed IA/RIA restrictions. The exact CIRCBIO destination heading is not among the enumerated Cluster 6 RIA exceptions. Topic 08 separately states the control rule for this exact topic.
- Ograniczenie dotyczące wnioskodawcy
- General Annex B excludes entities subject to EU restrictive measures from participation in any capacity and refers to special rules for entities covered by Commission Guidelines 2013/C 205/05 on Israeli entities and activities in territories occupied since June 1967. Eligibility under these rules depends on the entity and activity; this review does not make an applicant-specific determination.
- Ograniczenie dotyczące wnioskodawcy
- General Annex B states that Hungarian public-interest trusts established under Act IX of 2021 and entities they maintain may apply and, if allowed by call conditions, participate as associated partners without EU funding; while the Council measures remain in force, they are not eligible in funded roles. This records the published rule and does not determine the status of a particular entity or current Council measures.
- Ograniczenie dotyczące wnioskodawcy
- General Annex B states that entities established in Russia, Belarus or non-government-controlled territories of Ukraine are not eligible in any participation capacity, subject to justified case-by-case exceptions. It also states that entities established outside Russia but more than 50% directly or indirectly owned by a Russia-established entity are not eligible in any capacity. This is the published programme rule, not a determination about a particular applicant.
- Typ wnioskodawcy
- Unless a specific topic exception modifies it, the standard minimum is three independent legal-entity beneficiaries from three different countries: one Member State plus two others from different Member States or Associated Countries. Affiliated entities do not count toward that minimum.
- Ograniczenie dotyczące wniosku
- 2027-09-22, 17:00 Brussels local time (published call deadline; Commission may delay by up to two months)

Kwoty i koszty
- Koszt kwalifikowalny
- The project-based detailed lump-sum budget is an estimate per cost category, beneficiary/affiliated entity and work package. Its inputs must approximate actual costs, follow the programme’s actual-cost eligibility rules, the beneficiary’s normal practices, be reasonable/non-excessive, and be necessary and aligned to proposed activities. These estimates justify/fix the contribution; they are not actual-cost claims.
- Koszt kwalifikowalny
- SEDIA identifies the Horizon Lump Sum Grant model; the Lump Sum MGA pays a contribution for completed work packages according to the signed agreement, not reimbursement of each actual payroll or supplier invoice. Topic text explicitly invokes the Lump Sum Decision for those topics that state the legal/financial exception.
- Koszt kwalifikowalny
- Travel/subsistence, equipment and other goods/works/services are categories in the underlying Horizon cost model; the amount may be included in a lump-sum estimate only where the item would be eligible under actual-cost rules and is needed for the proposed activities. This packet does not assert that a specific purchase is authorized in the final budget.
- Koszt kwalifikowalny
- Subcontracting may be included in the detailed estimate only where necessary and otherwise eligible; the underlying Horizon MGA rules require usual purchasing practices, best value for money (or lowest price where appropriate), and no conflict of interest. Under the lump-sum model the contribution is not reimbursed invoice-by-invoice.
- Limit kosztów kwalifikowalnych
- 25 percent of eligible direct costs for actual-cost MGA budget calculations; exclusions as stated in conditions
The general Horizon Europe MGA flat-rate base excludes eligible direct costs for subcontracting, financial support to third parties and unit costs or lump sums that include indirect costs. For a project-based lump sum, any indirect-cost amount is only part of the estimated Annex 2 breakdown if applicable; this is not a separate 25% payment on top of the lump sum. If the beneficiary receives an operating grant, the lump-sum guidance says indirect cost estimates are not eligible.
- Intensywność wsparcia, maksimumEligible Innovation Action legal entities other than non-profit legal entities; beneficiary grant rate, not personnel pay.
- 70 percent of eligible costs (general action-type maximum)
General Horizon Europe maximum for IA: 70% of eligible costs; non-profit legal entities may receive up to 100%. For lump-sum grants the funding rate is already applied in the methodology used to fix the amount; it is not an additional multiplier to apply to the indicative project contribution or topic allocation. Final grant parameters are fixed in the signed grant agreement. This typed 70% row applies to eligible entities other than non-profit legal entities; the separate 100% maximum row captures that exception.
- Intensywność wsparcia, maksimumNon-profit legal entities participating in this Innovation Action; beneficiary grant rate, not personnel pay.
- 100 percent of eligible costs (general action-type maximum)
Up to 100% for non-profit legal entities under General Annex G. For lump-sum funding, the rate is already applied through the methodology for fixing the amounts. This is not a guaranteed award or individual compensation rate.
- Oczekiwany wkład na projekt
- 5 000 000 €
Around this expected EU contribution per project. It is an estimate, not a minimum, maximum or binding cap; the Commission explicitly permits proposals requesting different amounts.
- Budżet tematu
- 10 000 000 €
Topic-level indicative call allocation; not an amount per project or individual beneficiary. The Work Programme says the call budget is subject to availability of appropriations.
Personel i usługi
Inna rola
Koszt personelu, który można pokryć z dofinansowania
Natural persons under a direct contract other than an employment contract may be estimated only when assigned to the action, meeting employee-like working conditions, with the result belonging to the beneficiary unless otherwise agreed. The amount follows the underlying actual contract cost and may not differ significantly from similar employee tasks; no salary rate is published.
Inna rola
Koszt personelu, który można pokryć z dofinansowania
Costs for employees under an employment contract or equivalent appointing act, assigned to the action. For this lump-sum call this is a budget-estimate category subject to corresponding actual-cost eligibility rules, not an advertised role, required hire, headcount or salary-rate entitlement.
Inna rola
Koszt personelu, który można pokryć z dofinansowania
Seconded-person personnel-cost estimates require assignment to the action, employee-like working conditions, result ownership by the beneficiary unless otherwise agreed, and an amount tied to actual secondment cost that is not significantly different from comparable employee tasks. No job, headcount or pay rate is specified.
Inna rola
Koszt personelu, który można pokryć z dofinansowania
The action-related work of a beneficiary SME owner or natural-person beneficiary receiving no salary may be included under the personnel unit-cost method in Annex 2a where general eligibility conditions are met. It is not a payroll salary and this review does not assert a unit amount.
