The new large #HorizonEurope project ‘CIRCULess’, coordinated by Prof. Sotirios Grammatikos, Director of ASEMlab, Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) Gjøvik, has recently started. Great contributor in this project is Prof. lizhen huang.
The project concerns the Upcycling of mineral and timber-based waste from construction & manufacturing process industries through eco-design, advanced logistics, quality control and digital solutions. The consortium of CIRCULess project consists of 20 partners from 12 different member states (NO, ES, CY, FR, CH, GR, DK, SE, BE, NL, SK, UK) with renowned expertise in the target fields.
The total budget is approximately 12million €, out of which about approximately 1.9 million € is allocated to NTNU, and a total of 2.3 million € more, to 4 more Norwegian partners, for the pilot case in Norway, which concerns the upcycling of timber and development of circular timber-based products, such as Glulam, CLT, fibreboards and wood-plastic composites.
This project is the first EU project coordinated by the Dept. of Manufacturing and Civil Engineering (IVB), and one of the few EU projects coordinated by NTNU of this size. More information about the project and partners will be released very soon. This exciting project is envisaged to have its first physical General Assembly, during October 2-3, 2024, at the premises of NTNU Gjøvik, hosted by ASEMlab-NTNU. #CircuLess
