Finding an effective way to evolve from an exploitation model of the Earth resources to a sustainable one is an essential and imposing challenge humanity is facing today. A vital element of any long-term solution to this challenge will be new technology to meet our needs for energy and other resources and this, in turn, will require new materials and processes, predicted and realised through scientific research and innovation.
This document aims to be part of the co-creation process of Horizon Europe strategies and programs, in such a way that Research Infrastructures, and LEAPS, in particular, may make the most effective contribution possible to the Horizon Europe missions and grand challenges throughout the next decade and beyond.
