Good Practices in Cross-Project Collaboration
For those of us working on research projects, we know that it is always a good practice to generate links with other initiatives related to the scope of our own project. This is particularly important when these projects are funded by the European Commission, as it is mandatory and a contractual obligation to assure that these relations are established. This practice was set in the early HORIZON 2020 and continues in the current framework HORIZON Europe One reason would be the multiplier effect which these relations would bring the development teams as drivers reducing the gaps between close-up disciplines. In fact, if you ask researchers and...
2nd Consortium Meeting in Joensuu
Joensuu and UEF hosted the 2nd Consortium Meeting of PRIMUS Project A warm welcome despite temperatures below -15ºC. This December (13-14) we travelled to Joensuu (Finland) for the second Consortium Meeting and General Assembly.

PRIMUS Project – Developing new technologies for plastic recycling and circular economy of plastics
12 European Organisations look into creating new high-tech added value products from recycled polymers Funded by the European Union, the recently started PRIMUS Project seeks the development of new technologies for the recycling of common polymers so they can be used as starting materials for the manufacturing of new added value products. In today’s European economy, plastics and other polymeric compounds are common raw materials for the manufacturing of all sorts of goods and components. The European manufacturing industry is highly dependent on this type of materials for critical sectors like automotive and aerospace, electronic and electrical equipment like home appliances and consumer electronics. The European...
