The mission of Circular Bio-Based Europe Joint-Undertaking (CBE JU) is to advance a competitive bioeconomy for a sustainable Europe.

This call invited applicants to submit project proposals across 12 different topics including “Cooperative business models for sustainable mobilisation and valorisation of agricultural residues, by-products, and waste in rural areas” and “Alternative sources for high added value food and/or feed ingredients”.
