The increasing scarcity of resources, rising energy prices and the necessary transition to a climate-neutral economy require new approaches in material and product development. Lightweight construction, as a key technology for resource efficiency and emission reduction, plays a major role in the context of those requirements and goals. At the same time, the transformation to a circular economy requires products that are designed from the outset to be resource-efficient, reusable, and recyclable. Therefore, the European Lightweighting Network (ELN), together with support from countries worldwide, aims to fund research and development projects focused on lightweighting design. The objective is to stimulate the deployment, demonstration, and showcasing of advanced materials, innovative design methodologies, and digital solutions that seamlessly integrate lightweighting with circular value creation. Regardless of national priorities, all sectors with a need for Lightweighting technologies are welcome, including but not limited to automotive, railway, aerospace, space, maritime, mechanical engineering, energy, construction, infrastructure, health, farming, and forestry, etc. https://lnkd.in/e3cN7YZh Eureka Call: collaborate internationally on an R&D project around lightweighting design | Catalisti https://www.catalisti.be/en/news/eureka-call-collaborate-internationally-rd-project-around-lightweighting-design
