Late 2015 was a key period for research opportunities. The European Commission organised InfoDays linked to the Horizon 2020 calls, on PPPs in October and on energy efficiency in December. Cerame-Unie participated in both events and shared information with the members of the CU Research WG.

As a member of SPIRE, Cerame-Unie actively collects and disseminates requests for partnerships with ceramic companies within the network. Moreover, CU participated in various SPIRE IRIAG Meetings in 2015. CU will participate in the SPIRE General Assembly on 17 February and the Working Groups & Community Day on 18 February 2016.

Although the 2016 calls closed on 21 January, the calls for 2017 are available online.
