Network Projects Brazil-Sweden 2025: Sustainable mining, bioeconomy or sustainable cities

This Eureka Network Projects call supports international R&D collaboration between Brazil and Sweden in three priority areas: sustainable mining, bioeconomy, and sustainable cities. The program funds collaborative research and development projects aimed at creating innovative products, processes, or services with commercialization potential. In sustainable mining, projects may focus on eco-efficient comminution, material handling, recycling, and water management. Bioeconomy projects can address sustainable forest management and bio-based materials. Sustainable cities projects may tackle smart transportation, water management, and flood management systems. Consortia must include at least two independent legal entities from at least two participating countries, with no single organization or country responsible for more than 70% of the project budget. Projects must have a civilian purpose and demonstrate clear commercialization plans. Both Brazilian agencies (EMBRAPII and Finep) and Swedish agency (Vinnova) provide grant funding, with rates varying by organization type. The maximum funding per project from Sweden is 500,000 euros, while Brazilian funding ranges from 1 million to 5 million Brazilian reals depending on company size.
