Open Call for Projects
The Tire Industry Project (TIP) looks to engage scientists and innovators working on research that is aligned with TIP’s key objectives and can contribute to advancing sustainability practices and environmental stewardship within the tire industry.
Focus Areas
The objective of this OCP is to offer financial support to research projects that align with the following scope:
Assess and measure tire wear emissions, i.e. material produced during the use phase of a tire. Besides TRWP and leachates tire wear emissions may include other particles and compounds.
Develop mitigation measures, advancing the evaluated technologies towards demonstration in the relevant environment.
Are You Eligible to Apply?
In order to be eligible, applicants (beneficiaries and affiliated entities) must:
Be a public or private organization with an existing legal entity
Be established in a country that is not subject to any sanction measure
Be able to demonstrate clear alignment with TIP’s objectives and the Scope of this OCP
Be able to uphold scientific credibility and anticipate the achievement of tangible outcomes
Be able to demonstrate that projects have not started at the time of the submission
All submissions and related communications must be presented in English
What Are We Looking For?
Projects to be supported by this OCP are expected to introduce novel research concepts to the scientific field, preferentially leading to publication in peer-reviewed scientific journals.
Activities that are within the Scope of this OCP and eligible for funding under this OCP include, but are not limited to:
Field sampling campaigns
(air, water, soil, sediment)
Chemical and particle characterization of emissions
Data analysis and modelling of tire wear emissions distribution in the environment.
Development of TRWP and leachate mitigation measures and/or advancing the evaluated mitigation technologies toward demonstration in the relevant environment, with a focus on the development of street cleaning equipment or techniques to facilitate the collection and/or removal of TRWP and leachate from street and road surfaces.
