Horizon Europe is the EU’s key funding programme for research and innovation. Following the Multiannual Financial Framework Midterm Review (MTR) decision, the indicative funding amount for Horizon Europe for the period 2021-2027 is EUR 93.5 billion.
It tackles climate change, helps to achieve the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals and boosts the EU’s competitiveness and growth.
The programme facilitates collaboration and strengthens the impact of research and innovation in developing, supporting and implementing EU policies while tackling global challenges. It supports creating and better dispersing of excellent knowledge and technologies.
It creates jobs, fully engages the EU’s talent pool, boosts economic growth, promotes industrial competitiveness and optimises investment impact within a strengthened European Research Area.
Legal entities from the EU and associated countries can participate.
The Cement Science group have been awarded not one but three projects under the Horizon Europe programme.
Pillar I
The European Research Council Advanced Grant project ‘syn4cem’ In situ imaging of low-carbon CEMent hydration with SYNchrotron X-rays
Prof. Miguel Ángel García Aranda, founder of CemSciG, became the first scientist in the history of the University of Málaga to be awarded an ERC Advanced Grant (AdG).
Grant agreement ID: 101139298
Project Website: syn4cem
01/01/25 – 31/12/29
Pillar III
The European Innovation Council (EIC) Pathfinder Challenge consortium
'X-SeeO2' Real-time X-ray diffraction and microstructure imaging: accelerating the transformation of cementitious materials into CO2 sinks.
It comprises the University of Malaga (PI: Prof. Miguel A.G. Aranda), the University of Bath (PI: Prof. Susan Bernal), the University of Manchester (PI: Prof. Philip Withers) and ESRF (The European Synchrotron, PI: Dr. Andrew Fitch)
For the first time the University of Málaga takes on the role as Consortium Coordinator of a European project.
X-SeeO2 has been selected under the ‘Enabling Technologies’ for the Challenge Portfolio. The six beneficiary projects within the “Towards cement and concrete as a carbon sink-Challenge” can be seen here
