As a cross-sectoral research and innovation partnership, P4Planet brings together companies and industry associations, SMEs, research and technology organisations, NGOs, regional authorities, and other relevant stakeholders from the cement, ceramics, chemicals, engineering, non-ferrous metals, minerals, pulp and paper, refining, steel, and water sectors. P4Planet is of strategic importance to European industry and contributes to strengthening Europe’s global technological leadership, fostering economic growth, and creating new high-skilled job opportunities.

The event is organized with the aim of increasing the effective participation of Turkish institutions and organizations operating in the process industries in these calls and encouraging them to develop high-value-added collaborations and joint projects with European partners.
