Dear Juanjo, both of the calls are relevant to us and both are pretty similar to two different proposals I have participated in the recent Green Deals call, LC-4 (recycling) and LC-8 (buildings) closed in January. So potentially depending on the outcome of those calls we can ask some of those partners to join. However if we would've to go for a new consortium, in particular for Call 1, I can try to onboard: - https://www.storaenso.com/ for the production side/container etc, regulation - https://recirculasolutions.com/ for the recycling, circular economy side Michele On Thu, Mar 11, 2021 at 6:05 AM Juanjo Hierro <juanjose.hierro at fiware.org> wrote: > Hi everyone, > > Regarding upcoming open calls within Horizon Europe referring to > blockchain, these are the two calls regarding which there is an explicit > reference to blockchain technologies. > > Clearly, if we want to focus on one of them we should focus in the first > (recycled plastics) due to the time frame.
