Horizon Europe 2027 – Seeking Partners for Circular and Sustainable Construction Materials

Horizon Europe Cluster 6 (2027) – Research and Industrial Partnership Opportunities

I am a Senior Postdoctoral Researcher at Riga Technical University (RTU), Latvia, working in sustainable construction materials, advanced cementitious composites, fibre-reinforced concrete, structural engineering, and circular construction technologies.

I am seeking academic institutions, research organisations, industrial partners, SMEs, and potential project coordinators interested in developing collaborative Horizon Europe proposals, particularly under:

• HORIZON-CL6-2027-01-CIRCBIO-02: Enhancing ecodesign and circularity of construction products.

• HORIZON-CL6-2027-01-CIRCBIO-09: Increasing the circularity of the bio-based sector through upcycling and recycling.

Research expertise and potential contributions

• Development and characterisation of sustainable cementitious composites incorporating recycled and natural fibres.

• Valorisation of construction waste, recycled aggregates, and bio-based resources for innovative building materials.

• Experimental investigation of mechanical performance, durability, and structural behaviour of advanced construction materials.

• Development and numerical modelling of fibre-reinforced and composite structural systems.

• Life-cycle assessment (LCA), environmental performance evaluation, and sustainable material design.

• Experimental validation, finite element modelling, and performance-based assessment of innovative construction solutions.

Collaboration opportunities

I am particularly interested in joining or helping develop multidisciplinary consortia addressing circular construction products, low-carbon building materials, resource efficiency, waste valorisation, durability, and sustainable manufacturing.

Potential contributions include research methodology development, experimental testing, numerical simulation, material optimisation, environmental assessment, and scientific dissemination.

I welcome discussions with prospective coordinators and partners to identify complementary expertise, define work packages, and develop competitive Horizon Europe 2027 proposals.
