Important results from the project
The overall goal of this planning project was to coordinate, create and submit a competitive application, REBOOST, based on innovative ideas to address the challenges specified in the Horizon-CL4-2021-RESILIENCE-01-01 call. RISE SICOMP AB (Sweden), a leading Nordic research institute focusing on R&D of polymer-based composite materials and technologies coordinated the application. Another three Swedish companies and SMEs were formal partners in the consortium. The REBOOST application was successfully submitted through ECAS portal on 23rd September 2021.
Expected long term effects
The REBOOST application was completed through creative and active collaboration between 19 partners from composite- and recycling industry and research across Europe. The consortium consists of 6 research organizations, 6 SMEs, 6 large companies and European Composites Industry Association (EuCIA), indicating a strong European industrial base of this project. Innovative methodologies and technologies were proposed to answer the scope specified in the call text. The business case and exploitation strategy were well outlined to the Destination.
Approach and implementation
The whole application and submission process of REBOOST was well organized. Every partner in the consortium has been very committed and creative. The joint effort has led to a smooth and successful preparation and submission of a competitive REBOOST application.
