Overview

The Call is looking for projects that will form innovative ecosystems enabling advances in the State-of-the-Art and resulting in opportunities for commercial and/or societal impact in the application areas addressed. The intent is to bring together partners from across the broad Community of all types (Large Enterprise, SME’s, Research & Technology Organisations and Universities) into collaborative teams that will be able to demonstrate a high impact in the chosen application area at the end of the project.

The applications will be evaluated on excellence, impact, organisation, and suggested execution. Impact will be assessed both in terms of economic impact, in all participating countries and partners, as well as its impact on the green transition of the society.

The scope for Call 23 will include:

  • Offshore Wind turbines, bioenergy, solar panels, fuel cells power to-X, energy storage
  • Hydrogen Economy (Fuel cell, production, storage, station)
  • CO2 Capture, Sequestration and Utilization
  • Green and Zero-emission Buildings, Smart cities, heating
  • IT solutions in buildings, smart monitoring, 3D construction, digital twins in housing design
  • AI, IoT, Bigdata, 5G/6G integrated solutions in cities
  • Smart Grids, Micro-Grid, E-mobility
  • Monitoring of the environment and bio resources
  • Drone and satellite monitoring systems of land, rivers, sea Industrial robots, sensors, edge cloud computing, Raman Mass spectrometry, AI, big data

Full description

Proposals must meet the following criteria:

  • The consortium should include at least two companies from different EUREKA participating countries. The participation of research institutes/universities is welcome according to each country’s funding regulations.
  • The project partners must express their willingness to cooperate, on a win-win/fair basis in the development of a new product, industrial process Industry standard or service.
  • The product, process or service must be innovative and there must be a technological risk involved.
  • The project should benefit all involved partners in a well-balanced consortium. SME’s are explicitly encouraged to participate in the proposals. (well-balanced means that one partner, or country, can hold at max 66% of the project)
  • The project should generate an obvious advantage and added value resulting from the technological cooperation between the participants (new technologies, standardization, prototyping, field trials, new or improves products, increased knowledge, access to R&D infrastructure etc.).
  • Economic and Societal benefits to be obtained (where relevant) must be highlighted in the project proposal.
  • A project consortium or cooperation agreement (PCA) must be signed between the project partners as soon as possible after the project starts. PCA templates are available for use if required.
