The total funding in this call is €300k + €300k (Aalto + VTT).  Expected that 2-3 projects will be funded, with a total funding of €100-150k per partner.

The thematic areas for 2020 call are:

1.    (Bio)degradation and recyclability of bio-based polymers or bioproducts
2.    Carbon materials and biochars
3.    Disruptive methods to enhance the strength of fibers and fiber structures
4.    Biocomposite solutions

Please find further information on the .
Additionally, to simplify co-partnering between Aalto and VTT, we have opened a Teams workspace to serve as a discussion forum. In case you don’t yet have access to Eduuni or Teams space, please contact info@finnceres.fi.
