CALL 04 - HORIZON-CL4-2026-01-MAT-PROD-04 - Circular Economy & Resource Optimization - Materials Expertise
Researcher at Fondazione Bruno Kessler
Trento, Italy
About
Our center offers comprehensive expertise to support circular economy and resource optimization:
-
Characterization & Analysis: Complete analytical suite (XRD, XPS, SEM, EDX, ICP-MS, Raman, SIMS), micro/nano-characterization, contaminant identification, critical raw materials analysis.
-
Materials Processing: Plasma treatments (PVD, PECVD, ALD) for upcycling, surface engineering, iron-containing residuals processing.
-
Process Optimization: TEA/LCA, digital twins, process modelling for energy/water efficiency, industrial symbiosis support.
-
Communication & Dissemination: Strong expertise in scientific communication, stakeholder engagement, and multi-channel dissemination strategies to maximize project impact and visibility.
Energy & Circular Applications:
-
Hydrogen technologies and energy materials from secondary feedstock
-
Solar thermal systems integration with circular materials
-
Low-CO2 process development
-
Industrial side-stream valorization
We are particularly interested in projects involving material recycling/upcycling, critical raw materials recovery, reduction of GHG emissions, and development of low-CO2 processes for waste valorization in steel and process industries.
