The DeremCo project, co-financed by the European Union through the Interregional Innovation Investments (I3) program, is actively supporting the circular economy by promoting the reuse and high-value production of composite materials. As part of its efforts, DeremCo has launched the 2nd Open Call which will remain open until February 28, 2025, inviting Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) to submit proposals aimed at integrating recycled materials into innovative solutions. 

To ensure widespread participation and clear communication of the funding opportunities, a series of informative webinars have been organized across different regions and in multiple languages. These sessions provide a detailed overview of the Open Call, including the application process, eligibility criteria, and technical insights.
