About

ITENE can contribute to Cluster 2 projects as a technology-based research organisation bridging technical innovation with societal impact, particularly in the context of circular economy and sustainability transitions.

Our role would focus on:

  • Validation of innovative solutions under real conditions (use, transport, end-of-life)

  • Assessment of environmental sustainability and circularity (recyclability, compostability, LCA)

  • Support to Safe and Sustainable by Design (SSbD), including safety, toxicology and regulatory compliance

  • Analysis of value chains and industrial feasibility of sustainable solutions

  • Contribution to evidence-based policy recommendations and regulatory alignment

Thanks to our pilot-scale facilities and multidisciplinary expertise, ITENE enables the transition from conceptual solutions to validated, scalable and socially acceptable innovations.

We see a strong fit particularly in topics related to:

  • Social and economic transformations linked to the green transition

  • Circular economy pathways in cultural and creative industries

  • Integration of technological innovation with societal and policy dimensions (SSH-STEM)
