our projects
a wide range of projects, pan-European cross-collaborative ones.
Maximisation of the impact of AI on democratic institutions by developing and testing a human centric and ethically-by-design AI-enabled discussion platform for increased civic participation in local governance.
Tackling wildfire and sanitary risks for EU forests by deploying advanced technologies for Prevention, Intervention and Restoration/Valorisation.
Development and testing of an innovative catalyst-based emission control system for retrofitting public heavy-duty vehicles, reducing air pollutant emissions, CRM demand and ammonia usage.
Development of novel bio-based and recyclable composites with enhanced mechanical properties and fire resistance by using natural fiber reinforcements and bio-based halogen-free flame retardants.
Tackling climate change by complementing existing EU and International mitigation efforts through the responsible deployment of CDR technologies.
Empowering stakeholders at local and European level in climate impact assessment and decision-making through the design of an accessible and user-friendly climate forecast production system.
Interregional HUBs for circular and green raw materials supply innovation focused on critical industrial value chains.
Valorization of mine wastes for the development of building materials. Valomine developed and produced at pilot scale geopolymer pavement blocks with significantly reduced cost and environmental impact.
Development, production and demonstration of light weight, fire resistant geopolymer components for the construction industry, via the valorization of industrial residues.
Commercialisation of a patented Electrical breaker hammer, decreasing the environmental impact and emissions of underground and open-pit mining.
Mitigating the EU dependence on imported CRMs by substituting REE-heavy PMs with novel improved Sr-Ferrite and MnAlC magnets in electromobility and water pump applications.
Introduction of modern and innovative solutions, including robotics, for the optimization of underground ventilation.
Establishing an innovative value chain for EU Lithium Raw Materials, developing technologies to extract battery-grade lithium from underutilized ores and mining tailings.
Leveraging knowledge and EU partnerships to elevate The Technical University of Košice (TUKE) into an excellence EU Hub for Sustainable Mining.
Reducing CO2 emissions in steel production by applying novel technologies and integrating green hydrogen for the direct reduction of iron ore.
PERMANET is a Sustainable REE Innovation and Supply Network covering the full Rare Earth Elements (REE) Permanent Magnet (PM) value chain.
Revolutionising mineral exploration in Europe by developing innovative approaches to counter declining ore deposit discovery rates, focusing on deep-seated deposits critical for the economy’s decarbonisation.
Design, development and validation on a small scale of an innovative and smart building material offering simultaneously fireproofing and blast resistance.
