Joint European Forum for IPCEIs backs three new biotechnology projects
The Joint European Forum for Important Projects of Common European Interest (JEF-IPCEI), which includes high-level representatives of the Member States and of the Commission, met on 24 November 2025 and endorsed the launch of the design phase for three new IPCEI candidates on biotechnologies.
The selected IPCEI candidates are in the fields of biobased chemicals, biobased materials and biotechnologies for food and feed. The participating Member States will adjust the scopes of their projects with the support of the IPCEI Design Support Hub. Each of these IPCEI candidates aims at contributing to the EU's objectives, aligning with green and bioeconomy priorities.
The Forum also adopted its 2026 workplan and endorsed several key deliverables, including a recommendation to facilitate SME participation in IPCEIs, a report and recommendation on evaluation methodologies, and additional recommendations on national best practices related to implementation procedures, reporting, and monitoring. Together, these deliverables will help streamline and strengthen the overall IPCEI process.
