General information

Short Summary
An innovation agency in Estonia is willing to lead a consortium developing new materials and methods for more sustainable and affordable housing. Pursued calls include HORIZON-NEB-2025-01-REGEN-02 or REGEN-04. Local government or housing associations are sought for research cooperation.
Full Description
An innovation agency in Estonia is wishing to establish contact with European local governments or housing associations. In turn, they would bring their local developers on board.
Both emergent supply and demand exist in Estonia in the field of materials and methods for offsite renovation projects. The problems and barriers seem to be similar to most European countries where tower blocks need to be refurbished. There are tradeoffs between the economic efficiency and the value the refurbishment is meant to bring. There are similar barriers to the development of biobased building products, custom-made yet mass manufacturable façade cassettes etc.
The agency is currently talking to developers and engineers with novel biobased materials and construction methods in Estonia, the UK and possibly Ukraine. Putative demo houses exist in Estonia. The calls stipulate erection of demo houses in at least three countries, some as renovation projects and some as newbuilds. Partners are welcome who can bring further demo houses or sites into the consortium. Two alternative calls may fit,
Bio-fabricated materials for sustainable and beautiful construction
HORIZON-NEB-2025-01-REGEN-02
Innovative approaches for sustainable, inclusive and beautiful social and affordable housing
HORIZON-NEB-2025-01-REGEN-04
The agency will consider leading the R&D consortium.
