One-liner: the ceramic technology institute (Castellón, UJI / AICE) — ceramic-materials testing, R&D and circular-economy/decarbonisation projects for ceramics, materials and construction-tech startups in Spain's ceramic heartland.
What you get
- Ceramic-materials & product testing and characterisation; process R&D and scale-up support.
- Applied R&D across cities, advanced materials, decarbonisation (e.g. H₂-fired frit melting), digital transformation, environmental health, circular economy (INNO4H2O water-innovation), sustainable chemistry and modelling.
- Access to the ceramic-cluster ecosystem (glaze/frit/tile value chain).
Who it's for
- Ceramics, glaze/frit, advanced-materials and construction-tech startups, and firms decarbonising ceramic processes.
How to engage (routes)
- Direct testing / characterisation contract — scope material tests or process trials; pay per service.
- Contract R&D / consortium project — join or commission an R&D/circular-economy project.
- As a subcontractor in your own grant — eligible external-service cost in IVACE PIDI-CV 2026 / INPYME 2026 (ceramics is an INPYME target sector).
- Via the cluster — connect through Cluster Ceramico.
Key facts
- UJI/AICE ceramic institute · testing + decarbonisation R&D. Cost = per-service fees; leverage INPYME/PIDI and cluster routes.
