The CIRCULOOS Open Call 2 (OC2) will support approximately 16 consortia, each consisting of 2-4 entities. The total funding per team is up to โฌ240,000, distributed as a lump sum. Each participating entity can receive a maximum of โฌ60,000.
Whereas Open Call 3.1 (OC 3.1) enables single entities to extend the existing CIRCULOOS pilots value chains by introducing new R-strategies or enhancing existing ones. Selected entities will contribute by improving resource recovery, refining manufacturing processes, or identifying new market players to strengthen circularity. Both calls share the same goalโto strengthen circular economy practicesโbut target different scopes: OC2 builds new supply chains, while OC3.1 strengthens existing ones.

โ 60% of eligible costs for profit-making entities (requiring a 40% co-funding contribution from the applicant).
โ 100% of eligible costs for non-profit or academic organisations.
It is important to note that to receive the 60% funding, applicants must contribute 40% of their own funds. For instance, a project with two partners seeking the maximum โฌ120,000 in funding (โฌ60,000 per partner) would require a total project budget of โฌ200,000, with the partners contributing โฌ80,000 of their own resources.
