ReMade@ARI Project
A recycling hub for materials research. The EU project ReMade@ARI, with a budget of 13.8 million EUR started on September 1st. Overall, 40 partners of the ARIE network are involved in the project. LEAPS as part of the ARIE network, will be involved with the participation of all its member organizations.
According to the European Union’s Circular Economy Action Plan, the industry can determine up to 80 percent of a product’s subsequent environmental impact at the design phase. However, the linear manufacturing pattern offers few incentives to make products more sustainable. The research infrastructure project ReMade@ARI, which deals with innovative materials for key components in various areas such as electronics, packaging or textiles, wants to change this: the goal is to develop new materials with high recyclability and at the same time competitive functionalities. To this end, the institutions involved want to harness the potential of more than 50 analytical research infrastructures throughout Europe under the coordination of the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR).

Registrations for the 2022 LEAPS Plenary Meeting are open. After two years online we are looking forward to meeting in person at the 5th LEAPS Plenary to be held at the Paul Scherrer Institute in Switzerland from October 26 to October 28, 2022.
The LEAPS Plenary Meeting annually convenes the LEAPS community to discuss strategic topics relevant to the Consortium and its scientific communities, and reflect on the progress of its initiatives, actions, and projects. The Plenary also creates the opportunity for bringing together
the EU Policy, EU Research Infrastructures, and Industry spheres for discussions on creating synergies and cooperating to tackle the most pressing challenges we face as a society.
An exciting program has been lined up and will consist of mix of a strategic internal sessions and working meetings, combined with public sessions featuring prominent speakers from policy research and industry. The public sessions will include perspectives from the European Commission, the Swedish Research Council (linked to the upcoming EU Swedish Presidency), and Industry. The new LEAPS European Strategy, and scientific topics like Quantum Technologies, Life Sciences and the first results of the upgrade of the ESRF will be also on stage. Complementing the agenda are internal sessions where the progress of current EU-funded projects will be discussed, as well as scientific and policy initiatives, plans for future HE calls, and the strategic work with other EU Research Infrastructures. A draft of the program and timetable is online on the LEAPS Plenary 2022 event website.
