Imagine the beauty industry as a giant puzzle where the pieces—scientists, factories, and shops—don't always fit together. This effort acts like a bridge, helping these groups share secrets on how to go green and use digital tools. It also tries to make the industry look cooler to young people so they'll want to work there.
The European cosmetics sector lacks a unified industrial ecosystem, making it hard for companies to adopt digital and green transitions. Additionally, a shortage of qualified young workers threatens long-term growth.
A joint lab format and a network of 10 partners to coordinate digital and ecological transitions across the value chain.
If you are a beauty product manufacturer dealing with outdated production methods—this project developed a joint lab format that helps you adopt digital and green transitions to stay competitive in Europe.
If you are a training center dealing with a shortage of qualified workers—this project developed capacity building actions that make cosmetic careers more appealing to young people.
If you are a retailer dealing with consumers who don't understand the science behind products—this project developed awareness campaigns to promote 'Made in Europe' consumption.
Based on available project data, specific pricing or cost structures for the outputs are not provided.
The project focuses on creating an interconnected ecosystem and a joint lab format to support the transition, rather than a single scalable machine or chemical process.
Based on available project data, there is no specific mention of IP rights or licensing agreements for the deliverables.
The project helps companies navigate the regulatory dimensions of the cosmetics industry to better align with EU policy demands.
The project runs from May 1, 2023, to April 30, 2028.
The consortium is heavily weighted toward non-industrial entities, with 7 'Other' organizations and 2 universities, while only 1 dedicated industry partner is listed. With 10 partners across 6 countries, the group is designed for regional networking and policy influence rather than rapid commercial product development, though it includes 2 SMEs to provide a business perspective.
