HIGHLIGHTS 2016 1 FRAUNHOFER IGB INTERNATIONAL New EU projects in Horizon 2020 New projects in section I “Excellent Science” Horizon 2020 is the European Union’s eighth Framework Programme for Research and Innovation as well as the world’s largest coherent research and innovation program with almost 80 billion euros in funding available over seven years between 2014 and 2020. In Horizon 2020, Fraunhofer IGB is participating once again in the Marie Skłodowska-Curie network projects. The projects GreenCarbon and BIOCLEAN began in October 2016. The irst three years of the seven-year Framework Programme have already concluded. The Commission is now assessing the program and its new aspects in an interim evaluation, and the preparations for the ninth Framework Programme for Research and Innovation have already started. toral students with a structured education in the framework of excellent research projects. The partners participating in this project come from various sectors. The young scientists’ education is conducted in both an intersectoral and interdisci- plinary manner. The objective of these projects is to provide outstanding doc- In 2016, Fraunhofer IGB was pleased to participate in three GreenCarbon 1 additional H2020 projects and to take on the coordinating role in one of them. Additional indings are still awaited. In the project GreenCarbon, carbon materials are produced on the basis of renewable resources and then developed fur- ther as catalysts or adsorbent materials for high-performance applications. BIOCLEAN The goal of the BIOCLEAN network project is to enable early- stage researchers from the areas of chemistry, engineering and experimental microbiology to effectively manage bioilms at the end of their education. 2 4
