Overview

Expected Impact:

Each proposal must include an assessment of the expected industrial, economic, social and environmental benefits (Article 26 of Council Decision 2008/376/EC).

Objective:

Proposals submitted under this topic should relate to one or more of the RFCS objectives for steel as set out in Council Decision 2008/376/EC.

Scope:

Pilot projects target the construction, operation and development of installations on an appropriate scale. Demonstration projects cover the construction and/or operation of industrial-scale installations.

Both pilot and demonstration projects aim to bridge the gap between research and innovation and commercialisation.

Pilot and demonstration activities are expected to start at TRL 4-5 and achieve TRL 7-8 by the end of the project.
