The smart tool for EU proposal drafters and grant writers CallforEurope is a consultancy that provides for professional information and assistance on European Policies, Programmes and Public Calls. Our mission is to support transparent knowledge and easy access to all of the opportunities offered by EU Programmes. We think that giving fresh information on such themes is a valid lever for boosting European Union integration.
Our support is intended to: • offer technical information on how to access to and manage EU grants and projects; • make people find new transnational partnerships throughout Europe; • stimulate public debate on how to access to EU funds. Our ambition is to serve as a technical resource center. We want to serve primarily those that usually work on writing applications and
managing projects through European funding. Call them “Euro-drafters” or “Euro-experts”: in any case, their activity demands high specialization and a constant updating on European policies, programs and public calls. Our service is intended for them but also for any private, public and not-for-profit organization interested to European programmes and funds.

The 2021 SOTEU
The State of the Union address on 15 September 2021 from the President of the European Commission In what follows we report the full version of the 2021 SOTEU address from the EU Commission President Ursula Von Der Leyen
STRENGTHENING THE SOUL OF OUR UNION Introduction Mr President, Honourable Members, Many are the people who feel their lives have been on pause while the world has been on fast forward. The speed of events and the enormity of the challenges are sometimes difficult to grasp. This has also been a time of soul-searching. From people reassessing their own lives to wider debates on sharing vaccines and on shared values. But as I look back on this past
year, if I look at the state of the Union today, I see a strong soul in everything that we do. It was Robert Schuman who said: Europe needs a soul, an ideal, and the political will to serve this ideal. Europe has brought those words to life in the last twelve months. In the biggest global health crisis for a century, we chose to go it together so that every part of Europe got the same access to a life-saving vaccine. In the deepest global economic crisis for decades, we chose to go it together with NextGenerationEU. And in the gravest planetary crisis of all time, again we chose to go it together with the European Green Deal. We did that together as Commission, as Parliament, as 27 Member States. As one Europe. And we can be proud of it. But corona times are not over. There is still much grief in our

society as the pandemic lingers. There are hearts we can never mend, life stories we can never finish and time we can never give back to our young. We face new and enduring challenges in a world recovering – and fracturing – unevenly. So there is no question: the next year will be yet another test of character. But I believe that it is when you are tested that your spir- it – your soul - truly shines through. As I look across our Union, I know that Europe will pass that test. And what gives me that confidence is the inspiration we can draw from Europe's young people. Because our youth put meaning into empathy and solidarity. They believe we have a responsibility towards the planet. And while they are anxious about the future, they are determined to make it better. Our Union will be stronger if it is more like our next generation: reflective, determined and caring. Grounded in values and bold in action. This spirit will be more important than ever over the next twelve months. This is the message in the Letter of Intent I sent this morning to President Sassoli and Prime Minister Janša to outline our priorities for the year ahead.
A EUROPE UNITED THROUGH ADVERSITY AND RECOVERY Honourable Members, A year is a long time in a pandemic. When I stood in front of you 12 months ago, I did not know when – or even if – we would have a safe and effective vaccine against COVID-19. But today, and against all critics, Europe is among the world leaders. More than 70 per cent of adults in the EU are fully vaccinated. We were the only ones to share half of our vaccine production with the rest of the world. We delivered more than 700 million doses to the European people, and we delivered more than another 700 million doses to the rest of the world, to more than 130 countries. We are the only region in the world to achieve that. A pandemic is a marathon, not a sprint. We followed the science. We delivered to Europe. We delivered to the world. We did it the right way, because we did it the European way. And it worked! But while we have every reason to be confident, we have no reason to be complacent. Our first – and most urgent – priority is to speed up global vaccination. With less than 1% of global doses administered in low-income countries, the scale of injustice and the level of urgency are obvious. This is one of the great geopolitical issues of our time. Team Europe is investing one billion Euro to ramp up mRNA production capacity in Africa. We have already committed to share 250 million doses.
I can announce today that the Commission will add a new donation of another 200 million doses by the middle of next year. This is an investment in solidarity – but also in global health. The second priority is to continue our efforts here in Europe. We see worrisome divergences in vaccination rates in our Union. So we need to keep up the momentum. And Europe is ready. We have 1.8 billion additional doses secured. This is enough for us and our neighbourhood when booster shots are needed. Let's do everything possible to ensure that this does not turn into a pandemic of the unvaccinated. The final priority is to strengthen our pandemic preparedness. Last year, I said it was time to build a European Health Union. Today we are delivering. With our proposal we get the HERA authority up and running. This will be a huge asset to deal with future health threats earlier and better. We have the innovation and scientific capacity, the private sector knowledge, we have competent national authorities. And now we need to bring all of that together, including massive funding. So I am proposing a new health preparedness and resilience mission for the whole of the EU. And it should be backed up by Team Europe investment of EUR 50 billion by 2027. To make sure that no virus will ever turn a local epidemic into a global pandemic. There is no better return on investment than that. Honourable Members, The work on the European Health Union is a big step forward. And I want to thank this
House for your support. We have shown that when we act together, we are able to act fast. Take the EU digital certificate: Today more than 400 million certificates have been generated across Europe. 42 countries in 4 continents are plugged in. We proposed it in March. You pushed it! Three months later it was up and running. Thanks to this joint effort, while the rest of the world talked about it, Europe just did it. We did a lot of things right. We moved fast to create SURE. This supported over 31 million workers and 2.5 million companies across Europe. We learned the lessons from the past when we were too divided and too delayed. And the difference is stark: last time it took 8 years for the Eurozone GDP to get back to pre-crisis levels. This time we expect 19 countries to be at pre-pandemic levels this year with the rest following next. Growth in the euro area outpaced both the US and China in the last quarter. But this is only the beginning. And the lessons from the financial crisis should serve as a cautionary tale. At that time, Europe declared victory too soon and we paid the price for that. And we will not repeat the same mistake. The good news is that with NextGenerationEU we will now invest in both short-term recovery and long-term prosperity. We will address structural issues in our economy: from labour market reforms in Spain, to pension reforms in Slovenia or tax reform in Austria. In an unprecedented manner, we will invest in 5G and fibre. But equally important is the investment in digital skills. This task CALL4EUROPE - 5
needs leaders' attention and a structured dialogue at top-level. Our response provides a clear direction to markets and investors alike. But, as we look ahead, we also need to reflect on how the crisis has affected the shape of our economy – from increased debt, to uneven impact on different sectors, or new ways of working. To do that, the Commission will relaunch the discussion on the Economic Governance Review in the coming weeks. The aim is to build a consensus on the way forward well in time for 2023. Honourable Members, We will soon celebrate 30 years of the Single Market. For 30 years it has been the great enabler of progress and prosperity in Europe. At the outset of the pandemic, we defended it against the pressures of erosion and fragmentation. For our recovery, the Single Market is the driver of good jobs and competitiveness. That is particularly important in the digital single market. We have made ambitious proposals in the last year. To contain the gatekeeper power of major platforms; To underpin the democratic responsibility of those platforms; To foster innovation; To channel the power of artificial intelligence. Digital is the make-or-break issue. And Member States share that view. Digital spending in NextGenerationEU will even overshoot the 20% target. That reflects the importance of investing in our European tech sovereignty. We have to double down to shape our digital transformation according to our own rules and values. 6 - CALL4EUROPE
Allow me to focus on semi-conductors, those tiny chips that make everything work: from smartphones and electric scooters to trains or entire smart factories. There is no digital without chips. And while we speak, whole production lines are already working at reduced speed - despite growing demand - because of a shortage of semi-conductors. But while global demand has exploded, Europe's share across the entire value chain, from design to manufacturing capacity has shrunk. We depend on state-ofthe-art chips manufactured in Asia. So this is not just a matter of our competitiveness. This is also a matter of tech sovereignty. So let's put all of our focus on it. We will present a new European Chips Act. We need to link together our world-class research, design and testing capacities. We need to coordinate EU and national investment along the value chain. The aim is to jointly create a state-of-the-art European chip ecosystem, including production. That ensures our security of supply and will develop new markets for ground-breaking European tech. Yes, this is a daunting task. And I know that some claim it cannot be done. But they said the same thing about Galileo 20 years ago. And look what happened. We got our act together. Today European satellites provide the navigation system for more than 2 billion smartphones worldwide. We are world leaders. So let's be bold again, this time with semi-conductors.
Honourable Members, The pandemic has left deep scars that have also left their mark on our social market economy. For nights on end, we all stood at our windows and doors to applaud critical workers. We felt how much we relied on all those women and men who work for lower wages, fewer protections and less security. The applause may have faded away but the strength of feeling cannot. This is why the implementation of the European Pillar of Social Rights is so important – to ensure decent jobs, fairer working conditions, better healthcare and better balance in people's lives. If the pandemic taught us one thing, it is that time is precious. And caring for someone you love is the most precious time of all. We will come forward with a new European Care Strategy to support men and women in finding the best care and the best life balance for them. But social fairness is not just a question of time. It is also a question of fair taxation. In our social market economy, it is good for companies to make profits. And they make profits thanks to the quality of our infrastructure, social security and education systems. So the very least we can expect is that they pay their fair share. This is why we will continue to crack down on tax avoidance and evasion. We will put forward a new initiative to address those hiding profits behind shell entities. And we will do everything in our power to seal the historic global deal on minimum taxation. Asking big companies to pay the right amount of tax is not only a question of public finances, but
above all a question of basic fairness. Honourable Members, We have all benefited from the principles of our European social market economy – and we must make sure that the next generation can do so to build their future. This is our most educated, talented and motivated generation. And it has missed out on so much to keep others safe. Being young is normally a time of discovery, of creating new The Next Generation EU Programme: one of the most important EU initiative for recovery experiences.

bad. But we can fix it. And change is already happening. More electric vehicles than diesel cars were registered in Germany in the first half of this year. Poland is now the EU's largest exporter of car batteries and electric buses. Or take the New European Bauhaus that led to an explosion of creativity of architects, designers, engineers across our Union. So clearly something is on the move. And this is what the European Green Deal is all about. In my speech last year, I announced our target of at least 55% emission reduction by 2030. Since then we have together turned our climate goals into legal obligations. And we are the first major economy to present comprehensive legislation in order to get it done. You have seen the complexity of the detail. But the goal is simple. We will put a price on pollution. We will clean the energy we use. We will have smarter cars and 8 - CALL4EUROPE
cleaner airplanes. And we will make sure that higher climate ambition comes with more social ambition. This must be a fair green transition. This is why we proposed a new Social Climate Fund to tackle the energy poverty that already 34 million Europeans suffer from. I count on both Parliament and Member States to keep the package and to keep the ambition together. When it comes to climate change and the nature crisis, Europe can do a lot. And it will support others. I am proud to announce today that the EU will double its external funding for biodiversity, in particular for the most vulnerable countries. But Europe cannot do it alone. The COP26 in Glasgow will be a moment of truth for the global community. Major economies – from the US to Japan – have set ambitions for climate neutrality in 2050 or shortly after. These need now to be backed up by concrete plans in time for Glasgow. Because current commitments for 2030 will not keep global warming to
1.5°C within reach. Every country has a responsibility! The goals that President Xi has set for China are encouraging. But we call for that same leadership on setting out how China will get there. The world would be relieved if they showed they could peak emissions by mid-decade - and move away from coal at home and abroad. But while every country has a responsibility, major economies do have a special duty to the least developed and most vulnerable countries. Climate finance is essential for them both for mitigation and adaptation. In Mexico and in Paris, the world committed to provide 100 billion dollars a year until 2025. We deliver on our commitment. Team Europe contributes 25 billion dollars per year. But others still leave a gaping hole towards reaching the global target. Closing that gap will increase the chance of success at Glasgow. My message today is that Europe is ready to do more. We will now propose an additional
4 billion euro for climate finance until 2027. But we expect the United States and our partners to step up too. Closing the climate finance gap together – the US and the EU – would be a strong signal for global climate leadership. It is time to deliver. Honourable Members, This climate and economic leadership is central to Europe's global and security objectives. It also reflects a wider shift in world affairs at a time of transition towards a new international order. We are entering a new era of hyper-competitiveness. An era in which some stop at nothing to gain influence: from vaccine promises and high-interest loans, to missiles and misinformation. An era of regional rivalries and major powers refocusing their attention towards each other. Recent events in Afghanistan are not the cause of this change – but they are a symptom of it. And first and foremost, I want to be clear. We stand by the Afghan people. The women and children, prosecutors, journalists and human rights defenders. I think in particular of women judges who are now in hiding from the men they jailed. They have been put at risk for their contribution to justice and the rule of law. We must support them and we will coordinate all efforts with Member States to bring them to safety. And we must continue supporting all Afghans in the country and in neighbouring countries. We must do everything to avert the real risk of a major famine
and humanitarian disaster. And we will do our part. We will increase again humanitarian aid for Afghanistan by 100 million euro. This will be part of a new, wider Afghan Support Package that we will present in the next weeks to combine all of our efforts. Honourable Members, Witnessing events unfold in Afghanistan was profoundly painful for all the families of fallen servicemen and servicewomen. We bow to the sacrifice of those soldiers, diplomats and aid workers who laid down their lives. To make sure that their service will never be in vain, we have to reflect on how this mission could end so abruptly. There are deeply troubling questions that allies will have to tackle within NATO. But there is simply no security and defence issue where less cooperation is the answer. We need to invest in our joint partnership and to draw on each side's unique strength. This is why we are working with Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg on a new EU-NATO Joint Declaration to be presented before the end of the year. But this is only one part of the equation. Europe can – and clearly should – be able and willing to do more on its own. But if we are to do more, we first need to explain why. I see three broad categories. First, we need to provide stability in our neighbourhood and across different regions. We are connected to the world by narrow straits, stormy seas and vast land borders. Because of that geography, Europe knows better than anyone that if you don't deal
in time with the crisis abroad, the crisis comes to you. Secondly, the nature of the threats we face is evolving rapidly: from hybrid or cyber-attacks to the growing arms race in space. Disruptive technology has been a great equaliser in the way power can be used today by rogue states or non-state groups. You no longer need armies and missiles to cause mass damage. You can paralyse industrial plants, city administrations and hospitals – all you need is your laptop. You can disrupt entire elections with a smartphone and an internet connection. The third reason is that the European Union is a unique security provider. There will be missions where NATO or the UN will not be present, but where the EU should be. On the ground, our soldiers work side-by-side with police officers, lawyers and doctors, with humanitarian workers and human rights defenders, with teachers and engineers. We can combine military and civilian, along with diplomacy and development – and we have a long history in building and protecting peace. The good news is that over the past years, we have started to develop a European defence ecosystem. But what we need is the European Defence Union. In the last weeks, there have been many discussions on expeditionary forces. On what type and how many we need: battlegroups or EU entry forces. This is no doubt part of the debate – and I believe it will be part of the solution. But the more fundamental issue is why this has not worked in the CALL4EUROPE - 9
past. You can have the most advanced forces in the world – but if you are never prepared to use them of what use are they? What has held us back until now is not just a shortfall of capacity – it is the lack of political will. And if we develop this political will, there is a lot that we can do at EU level. Allow me to give you three concrete examples: First, we need to build the foundation for collective decision-making – this is what I call situational awareness. We fall short if Member States active in the same region, do not share their information on the European level. It is vital that we improve intelligence cooperation. But this is not just about intelligence in the narrow sense. It is about bringing together the knowledge from all services and all sources. From space to police trainers, from open source to development agencies. Their work gives us a unique scope and depth of knowledge. It is out there! But we can only use that, to make informed decisions if we have the full picture. And this is currently not the case. We have the knowledge, but it is disjoined. Information is fragmented. This is why the EU could consider its own Joint Situational Awareness Centre to fuse all the different pieces of information. And to be better prepared, to be fully informed and to be able to decide. Secondly, we need to improve interoperability. This is why we are already investing in common European platforms, from fighter jets, to drones and cyber.
10 - CALL4EUROPE
But we have to keep thinking of new ways to use all possible synergies. One example could be to consider waiving VAT when buying defence equipment developed and produced in Europe. This would not only increase our interoperability, but also decrease our dependencies of today. Third, we cannot talk about defence without talking about cyber. If everything is connected, everything can be hacked. Given that resources are scarce, we have to bundle our forces. And we should not just be satisfied to address the cyber threat, but also strive to become a leader in cyber security. It should be here in Europe where cyber defence tools are developed. This is why we need a European Cyber Defence Policy, including legislation on common standards under a new European Cyber Resilience Act. So, we can do a lot at EU level. But Member States need to do more too. This starts with a common assessment of the threats we face and a common approach to dealing with them. The upcoming Strategic Compass is a key process of this discussion. And we need to decide how we can use all of the possibilities that are already in the Treaty. This is why, under the French Presidency, President Macron and I will convene a Summit on European defence. It is time for Europe to step up to the next level. Honourable Members, In a more contested world, protecting your interests is not only about defending yourself.
It is about forging strong and reliable partnerships. This is not a luxury – it is essential for our future stability, security and prosperity. This work starts by deepening our partnership with our closest allies. With the US we will develop our new agenda for global change – from the new Trade and Technology Council to health security and sustainability. The EU and the US will always be stronger – together. The same is true of our neighbours in the Western Balkans. Before the end of the month, I will travel to the region to send a strong signal of our commitment to the accession process. We owe it to all those young people who believe in a European future. This is why we are ramping up our support through our new investment and economic plan, worth around a third of the region's GDP. Because an investment in the future of the Western Balkans is an investment in the future of the EU. And we will also continue investing in our partnerships across our neighbourhood – from stepping up our engagement in the Eastern Partnership to implementing the new Agenda for the Mediterranean and continuing to work on the different aspects of our relationship with Turkey. Honourable Members, If Europe is to become a more active global player, it also needs to focus on the next generation of partnerships. In this spirit, today's new EU Indo-Pacific strategy is a milestone. It reflects the growing importance of the region to our
prosperity and security. But also the fact that autocratic regimes use it to try to expand their influence. Europe needs to be more present and more active in the region. So we will work together to deepen trade links, strengthen global supply chains and develop new investment projects on green and digital technologies. This is a template for how Europe can redesign its model to connect the world. We are good at financing roads. But it does not make sense for Europe to build a perfect road between a Chinese-owned copper mine and a Chinese-owned harbour. We have to get smarter when it comes to these kinds of investments. This is why we will soon present our new connectivity strategy called Global Gateway. We will build Global Gateway partnerships with countries around the world. We want investments in quality infrastructure, connecting goods, people and services around the world. We will take a values-based approach, offering transparency and good governance to our partners. We want to create links and not dependencies! And we know how this can work. Since the summer, a new underwater fibre optic cable has connected Brazil to Portugal. We will invest with Africa to create a market for green hydrogen that connects the two shores of the Mediterranean. We need a Team Europe approach to make Global Gateway happen. We will connect institutions and investment, banks and the business community. And we will make this a priority for
regional summits – starting with the next EU-Africa Summit in February. We want to turn Global Gateway into a trusted brand around the world. And let me be very clear: doing business around the world, global trade – all that is good and necessary. But this can never be done at the expense of people's dignity and freedom. There are 25 million people out there, who are threatened or coerced into forced labour. We can never accept that they are forced to make products – and that these products then end up for sale in shops here in Europe. So we will propose a ban on products in our market that have been made by forced labour. Human rights are not for sale – at any price. A EUROPE UNITED IN FREEDOM AND DIVERSITY And, Honourable Members, human beings are not bargaining chips. Look at what happened at our borders with Belarus. The regime in Minsk has instrumentalised human beings. They have put people on planes and literally pushed them towards Europe's borders. This can never be tolerated. And the quick European reaction shows that. And rest assured, we will continue to stand together with Lithuania, Latvia and Poland. And, let's call it what it is: this is a hybrid attack to destabilise Europe.
Honourable Members, These are not isolated events. We saw similar incidents at other borders. And we can expect to see it again. This is why, as part of our work on Schengen, we will set out new ways to respond to such aggression and ensure unity in protecting our external borders. But as long as we do not find common ground on how to manage migration, our opponents will continue to target that. Meanwhile, human traffickers continue to exploit people through deadly routes across the Mediterranean. These events show us that every country has a stake in building a European migration system. The New Pact on Migration and Asylum gives us everything we need to manage the different types of situations we face. All the elements are there. This is a balanced and humane system that works for all Member States - in all circumstances. We know that we can find common ground. But in the year since the Commission presented the Pact, progress has been painfully slow. I think, this is the moment now for a European migration management policy. So I urge you, in this House and in Member States, to speed up the process. This ultimately comes down to a question of trust. Trust between Member States. Trust for Europeans that migration can be managed. Trust that Europe will always live up to its enduring duty to the most vulnerable and most in need. There are many strongly held views on migration in Europe but I believe the common ground is not so far away. Because if you ask most Eu-
CALL4EUROPE - 11
ropeans, they would agree that we should act to curb irregular migration but also act to provide a refuge for those forced to flee. They would agree that we should return those who have no right to stay. But that we should welcome those who come here legally and make such a vital contribution to our society and economy. And we should all agree that the topic of migration should never be used to divide. I am convinced that there is a way that Europe can build trust amongst us when it comes to migration.
cultural, religious and humanist heritage of Europe. They are part of our soul, part of what defines us today. These values are now enshrined in our European treaties. This is what we all signed up to when we became part of this Union as free and sovereign countries. We are determined to defend these values. And we will never waver in that determination. Our values are guaranteed by our legal order and safeguarded by the judgments of the European Court of Justice. These judgments are binding. We make sure that they are respected.

Honourable Members, The European budget is the future of our Union cast in figures. That is why it must be protected. We need to ensure that every euro and every cent is spent for its proper purpose and in line with rule of law principles. Investments that enable our children to have a better future must not be allowed to seep away into dark channels. Corruption is not just taxpayer money stolen. It is investors scared off, big favours bought by big money and democracy undermined by the powerful. When it comes to protecting our budget, we will pursue every case, with everything in our power. Honourable Members, Defending our values is also defending freedom. Freedom to be who you are, freedom to say what's on your mind, freedom to love whoever you want. But freedom also means freedom from fear. And during the pandemic, too many women were deprived of that freedom. It was an acutely terrifying time for those with nowhere to hide, nowhere to escape from their abusers. We need to shed light on this darkness, we need to show ways out of the pain. Their abusers must be brought to justice. And those women must have their freedom and their self-determination back. This is why by the end of year, we will propose a law to combat violence against women – from prevention to protection and effective prosecution, online and offline. It is about defending the digni-
ty of each individual. It is about justice. Because this is the soul of Europe. And we must make it even stronger. Honourable members, Allow me to finish with one of the freedoms that gives voice to all other freedoms – media freedom. Journalists are being targeted simply for doing their job. Some have been threatened, some beaten and, tragically, some murdered. Right here, in our European Union. Let me mention some of their names: Daphné Caruana Galizia. Ján Kuciak. Peter de Vries. The details of their stories may be different but what they have in common is that they all fought and died for our right to be informed. Information is a public good. We must protect those who create transparency – the journalists. That is why today we have put forward a recommendation to give journalists better protection. And we need to stop those who threaten media freedom. Media companies cannot be treated as just another business. Their independence is essential. Europe needs a law that safeguards this independence – and the Commission will deliver a Media Freedom Act in the next year. Defending media freedom means defending our democracy. Conclusion Honourable Members, Strengthening Schuman's European ideal that I invoked earlier is a continuous work.
And we should not hide away from our inconsistencies and imperfections. But imperfect as it might be, our Union is both beautifully unique and uniquely beautiful. It is a Union where we strengthen our individual liberty through the strength of our community. A Union shaped as much by our shared history and values as by our different cultures and perspectives. A Union with a soul.
seems impossible – then it can be done. Se sembra impossibile, allora si può fare. This was the spirit of Europe's founders and this is the spirit of Europe's next generation. So let's be inspired by Bebe and by all the young people who change our perception of the possible. Who show us that you can be what you want to be. And that you can achieve whatever you believe.
Honourable Members: Trying to find the right words to capture the essence of this feeling This is the soul of Europe. is not easy. But it is easier when This is the future of Europe. you borrow them from someone who inspires you. And this is why Let's make it stronger together. I have invited a guest of honour Viva l'Europa. to be with us today. Many of you might know her – a gold medallist from Italy who captured my heart this summer. But what you might not know is that only in April, she was told her life was in peril. She went through surgery, she fought back, she recovered. And only 119 days after she left the hospital, she won Paralympic gold. Honourable Members, please join me in welcoming Beatrice Vio. Bebe has overcome so much, so young. Her story is one of rising against all odds. Of succeeding thanks to talent, tenacity and unrelenting positivity. She is in the image of her generation: a leader and an advocate for Beatrice Vio (born 4 March 1997) is an Italian wheelchair fencer, 2014 and 2016 European the causes she believes in. champion, 2015 and 2017 World champion, and And she has managed to 2016 and 2020 Paralympic champion in the foil B achieve all of that by living category up to her belief that - if it CALL4EUROPE - 13

Online identity theft is countered
call synopsis Horizon Europe - Cluster 3 - Destination 1: Better protect the EU and its citizens against Crime and Terrorism
Administration
European Commission
Objective
Projects’ results are expected to contribute to some or all of the following outcomes: European Police Authorities are provided with modern, innovative and validated tools and training curricula, which take into account legal and ethical rules of operation as well as fundamental rights such as privacy and protection of personal data to prevent, detect and investigate online identity theft, and lawfully collect crime evidence across borders for its use in court proceedings; Strengthened ability of security practitioners to identify (new forms of) online identity theft at an early stage thanks to improved knowledge on the modus operandi and new trends in identity theft, including but not limited to deepfakes, and innovative solutions for Police Authorities to tackle them in lawful manner; Improved understanding on the societal aspects and impacts of identity theft, as well as on the key challenges related to it; Enhanced perception by the citizens that Europe is an area of freedom, justice and security thanks to innovative awareness-raising campaigns explaining to citizens the key and evolving mechanisms of identity theft and how to protect against them; Improved shaping and implementation of regulation related to the fight against identity theft by security policy-makers.
Eligible Activities
Research is needed to develop new technological means of detecting deepfakes in support of the work of Police Authorities, as it may only be a matter of time before deepfakes are used more often in online identity theft cases. In addition, this can have serious implications for Police Authorities, since it might complicate investigations and raise questions about the authenticity of evidence. The issue of collecting (crossborder) evidence for its use in courts of law, i.e. in a lawful manner and respecting fundamental rights such as privacy and protection of personal data, should be tackled in proposed activities as well. Activities proposed within this topic should address both the technological and societal dimensions of online identity theft in a balanced way.
Eligible Applicants
any legal entity (including natural persons) or group of legal entities established in an EU Member State or in a country associated to Horizon Europe. This topic requires the active involvement, as beneficiaries, of at least 3 Police Authoritiesfrom at least 3 different EU Member States or Associated countries.

call synopsis Programme
Horizon Europe - Cluster 3 - Destination 1: Better protect the EU and its citizens against Crime and Terrorism
Administration
European Commission
Objective
Improved intelligence picture of organised environmental crime in Europe, modus operandi of such criminal organisations, both offline and online; Improved tools and innovative training curricula for European Police Authorities and Border Guards Authorities, validated against practitioners' needs and requirements, to help them tackle criminal activities related to environmental crime, supported by advanced digital technologies and including the lawful court-proof collection of crime evidence as well as environmental crime statistics; Improved cooperation between European Police Authorities, Border Guards Authorities and other national Authorities involved in tackling this form of crime, including on goods not released for free circulation (e.g. in transit, warehousing etc.); Improved cooperation with third countries and international actors involved in the fight against environmental crime; Enhanced ability of security practitioners to identify and prevent emergent and existing organised crime networks involved in environmental crime; Increased ability of public services to detect places of illegal waste storage; Improved shaping and tuning of regulation related to the fight against environmental crime by security policy.
Eligible Activities
Environmental crime breaches environmental legislation and causes significant harm or risk to the environment, climate and/or human health. Environmental crime is highly lucrative, but the sanctions are low, and it is often harder to detect than more traditional forms of organised crime. These factors also make it highly attractive for organised crime groups. These crimes present a high risk for the environment, climate and health, and are very harmful to society as a whole. The extent of the problem is clearly demonstrated by waste trafficking, which is characterised by the clear interconnection between criminal actors and legal businesses.
Eligible Applicants

Improved access to fighting crime and terrorism research data
BACK TO INDEX
call synopsis Programme
Horizon Europe - Cluster 3 - Destination 1: Better protect the EU and its citizens against Crime and Terrorism
Administration
European Commission
Objective
The relevant community (researchers, practitioners, industry, policy makers) is made aware of the legal, ethical and technical pre-requisites that a European common research training and testing data repository in the area of fighting crime and terrorism should fulfil (e.g., by defining how it should be organised or which characteristics it should have), which would include latest technology developments and allow for adaptations as technologies progress, while taking into account ethical rules of operation and fundamental rights (including privacy and data protection) as well as cost-benefit considerations that have to be made in the context of proportionality in strict sense (as a step to assess the lawfulness of a measure interfering with the fundamental rights); The corresponding technical, legal and ethical basis for such a training and testing fighting crime and terrorism research data repository is set, that would allow for its creation in a subsequent step; Security practitioners are provided with an increased interoperability and improved (crossborder) exchange of data thanks to harmonised data file formats across Europe, which would easily take into account technological evolutions, i.e. be adaptable in time; Improved anonymisation and pseudonymisation technologies, including other security measures, such as masking and unmasking technologies to facilitate data management in this context, ensuring full access to the data actually needed (in line with the necessity and proportionality principle), as well as taking into account all applicable legislation and fundamental rights.
Eligible Activities
The aim of this topic is to tackle this multi-layered issue and set the basis for such a common data repository by creating a roadmap consisting of a clear set of rules, conditions and characteristics that such a repository should have, be it the variety of the data in function of the type and of the problem at hand, legal issues, avoidance of any bias, accessibility levels related to the sensitivity of various data sets, harmonisation of data formats, solutions for annotation as well as for the aging of the data, etc.

Administration
European Commission
Objective
Delivering results that are directed, tailored towards and contributing to one or several of the following expected outcomes: Researchers, health care professionals and developers of medical interventions have a much better understanding of how genetic, epigenetic and environmental risk and resilience factors interact to drive or prevent the transition from mental health to mental illness throughout the life course. Mental health professionals have access to different types of validated biomarkers for making more accurate diagnoses (beyond current symptom-based criteria) and for optimising and personalising preventive and therapeutic treatment decisions. Citizens have the possibility to undergo laboratory testing for assessing their mental health and their predisposition to mental illnesses. Public health authorities and policy makers have access to comprehensive clinical trial data on the effectiveness of different types of pharmacological and nonpharmacological strategies for the promotion of mental health and prevention of mental illnesses, helping them draft evidence-based clinical guidelines and best practices as well as design tailor-made prevention policies and campaigns.
Eligible Activities
the proposed research is expected to deliver on several of the following: Significantly advance the molecular and neurobiological understanding of how genetic, epigenetic and environmental risk and resilience factors (such as psychosocial experiences, diet, sleep, natural and artificial light, use or abuse of drugs, infections and other exposures) interact to drive or prevent the transition from mental health to mental illness throughout the life course as well as how such molecular and neurobiological changes could be reversed. Develop relevant predictive models through federated analysis of large European cohorts of psychiatric disorders and investigate the biological and neural basis of pathogenetic mechanisms and symptoms shared by different disorders. Identify, validate and document different types or combinations of biomarkers Discover new disease pathways and drug targets (including pathways involved in maintaining mental health) to boost the development of new (or repurposed) classes of safer and more effective medications for the prevention and treatment of mental illnesses (including relapse prevention). Establish the molecular and neurobiological effects as well as cognitive and psychological consequences of both pharmacological and non-pharmacological prevention strategies.

Objective
Researchers continue to use the platform as an effective and sustained approach to coordinate and manage their efforts on the repurposing of medicines, making the best use of scientific knowledge and resources. Patients have new and effective therapeutic options addressing unmet medical needs, both for communicable and non-communicable diseases. Health care systems and payers have available more cost-effective treatments that reduce the financial burden in the medium- to long-term. The public sector and the pharmaceutical industry engage in new models of sustainable collaboration, at European level and beyond. Policy-makers adjust the EU’s regulatory landscape for pharmaceuticals towards further harmonisation and increased fitness for purpose.
Eligible Activities
Set up a platform supporting an innovative repurposing model with a harmonized and sustainable dimension in the EU, attracting investments and taking a position of leadership at global level. This model should integrate the scientific, methodological, financial, legal, regulatory, and intellectual property aspects of the repurposing approach. Provide robust and transparent selection mechanisms for prioritising already approved medicinal products or investigational products for repurposing, based on recognized unmet medical needs and sound preliminary data, and identify research priorities for the better understanding of mechanisms of action. Leverage, pool and share existing high quality data assets in the European repurposing landscape, also by using pharmacogenomics, in silico, and artificial intelligence (AI) approaches, innovative preclinical human in vitro cellular/multi-organ validation methods, and deliver new computational tools. Resolve the fragmentation and lack of ownership of the repurposing approach that greatly impedes the efficient exploitation of its potential, networking existing projects and initiatives in the field. Particular attention should be given in supporting and strengthening academic driven research.

Administration
European Commission
Objective
All stakeholders along the health care value chain dispose of enhanced knowledge of risk factors, symptoms expression, disease progression and clinical outcomes in relation to host and viral characteristics, and host-pathogen interaction (i.e., the mechanistic understanding of the interplay between host and virus). Clinicians, regulators and other stakeholders along the health care value chain have access to decision support based on characterized diversity of host response at the level of genetic patterns, molecular pathways and physiological mechanisms, in relation to a large number of variables that inform disease predisposition, disease progression, symptoms expression and clinical outcomes. Clinicians and researchers use information on the deep characterization of the dynamics of the immune responses to the chosen virus(es), identifying factors critical for viral control and immune protection. This will provide a robust and common evidence base for the development of personalised therapeutic interventions and vaccines in the future
Eligible Activities
Proposals are expected to characterize the host response and host-pathogen interaction to a virus (or viruses) at the level of genetic patterns, physiological mechanisms and molecular pathways involving different organs and systems to identify factors that predispose to different clinical symptoms, different progression of the viral disease and different clinical outcomes. The study should include patient follow-up to identify conditions (including long-term ones) that may appear after the patient has recovered from the viral disease.

WENET Open Call
call synopsis Programme
Horizon 2020
Administration
European Commission
Objective
The WeNet platform is a software framework that allows application developers, innovators and Web entrepreneurs to quickly and easily develop and deploy diversityaware applications. By ‘diversity-aware applications’ we identify applications that both recognise and respect diversity in their underpinning data processing operations (in particular in terms of data protection and ethical usage of AI techniques) and that leverage diversity in their user base to provide valued-added services to individuals and communities. The WeNet platform consists of a set of modular, interoperable, open software components providing the required functionality to enable the fast development and deployment of diversity-aware applications. The WeNet platform therefore supports a plurality of applications (be them mobile, web or chat apps), which can leverage the functionality exposed by the platform. The main objective of the Open Call is to extend the impact of the WeNet project by involving additional institutions, by increasing the diversity in terms of communities of users and data collected, by collecting further data to feed the WeNet Research Infrastructure (RI), by exposing a larger number of individuals and communities to the WeNet vision and tool, by fostering the creation of a community of innovators around the WeNet platform, by collecting feedback from early adopters on the usability, usefulness, and ethical implications of the WeNet platform and RI.
Eligible Activities
Develop a new use case, a new app and run an experiment (collect data); Re-use an existing WeNet app and run an experiment (collect data); This is a free track, where proposals that do not fit Track A or B, but are relevant for the Open Call scope, can be submitted.

Coordination of European cultural heritage research and innovation among Member States
Programme
Horizon Europe
Administration
European Commission
Objective
Projects should contribute to all of the following expected outcomes: Prepare a ground-breaking and novel coordination network on cultural heritage research and innovation policies and activities, including the arts and the cultural and creative sectors. Identify research and innovation domains with European added value that would justify future activities. Propose new ways to engage stakeholders, users of cultural heritage and the arts, social innovators, civil society and, in particular, the younger generation with cultural heritage and its role in shaping the perception of European societies as well as a European sense of belonging. Develop an open approach to cultural heritage and the arts, fostering curiosity for new developments and diversity, as well as emphasising their role in transmitting of knowledge and building a bridge from the past over the present to the future. Proposals under this topic are expected to realise a mapping of national activities pertaining to cultural heritage, provenance research, architecture, as well as programmes and European ERA-Net Co-funding schemes on cultural heritage R&I. Furthermore, they should evaluate the European added value, any possible overlap with central EU activities, as well as the impact of and gaps left by ERA-Net Co-funding schemes in the field of cultural heritage. Taking stock of the lessons learnt, they should explore and identify objectives for a future, ground-breaking and wide network that would increase the impact of national funding at European level. Proposals should also provide analysis as well as policy scenarios for future EU-level interventions in this area, including on the role and participation of cultural and creative sectors. Need for new technologies with a specific reference to Earth Observation (Copernicus) data and products relevant for cultural heritage might be also considered. Proposals should provide a novel approach, involve the EU Member States and be open towards Associated and Neighbourhood Countries, a wide variety of stakeholders, civil society and young people.

Estimates of irregular migrants in Europe - stakeholder network
call synopsis Programme
Horizon Europe
Administration
European Commission
Objective
Projects should contribute to all of the following expected outcomes: Enhance EU migration governance by providing a rigorous review of estimates on irregular migrants living in the EU, including those working. Enhance statistics and data on migration by developing methodologies to estimate the number of irregular migrants across different EU legislative and statistical contexts. Assess viability, costs and economic, socio-demographic and health benefits of regularisation programs, including consideration for their possible signalling effect to incentivise further migration. Propose EU and context specific policy measures accordingly, in articulation with the general EU migration management framework.
Eligible Activities
Proposals should comparatively assess legal frameworks across the EU that determine the irregular status of migrants (also considering the issue of ‘tolerated status’), and comprehensively assess their impact. Proposals should also evaluate this against existing statistics, analysing who is counted as regular, who as irregular and consequent discrepancies in datasets across Europe resulting from different methodologies and policy frameworks. Thereby, proposals should determine effective methodologies to address such issues. To the extent possible, they should also use available datasets to estimate number of irregular migrants residing in Member States. Project proposals should focus on at least 10 EU countries with a geographical balance across the EU. Proposals are encouraged to account for the sustainability of the project building a pan-European network with the potential to sustain and update estimates through time.

Providing support in a changing world of work and social protection
call synopsis Programme
Horizon Europe
Administration
European Commission
Objective
Projects should contribute to all of the following expected outcomes: Better understand the labour market impacts of the arising new forms of work on the European welfare systems, cast against a background of demographic changes, globalisation, digitalisation and a green transition. Propose policy measures for adapting welfare systems to improve their contribution to reducing socio-economic inequalities and poverty, to protecting people from various forms of hardship and to providing the possibility for atypical workers and the self-employed to transition towards more stable work relationships if desired, while acting as an important catalyst for economic prosperity. Draw lessons from recent policy interventions in a contextual manner and propose adjustment measures Research activities may focus on the interaction between welfare policies and labour market aspects of demographic change (such as ageing, changes in household patterns, evolution of gender roles, etc.). They may alternatively concentrate on the interaction between welfare policies and labour market aspects of globalisation (such as trade liberalisation, immigration, tax competition, etc.), of digitalisation or of the green transition (such as task automation, increased career heterogeneity, job transitioning, work-home balance, need for reskilling, upskilling and lifelong learning, etc.). For example, proposals may consider the impact of an ageing population on public revenues and expenditure, while exploring alternative tax structures, tax bases and revenue sources to be implemented in an increasingly globalised economy. Proposals may otherwise investigate the impact of precariousness, unemployment and increasing job transitions on the psychosocial work environment, on social security systems, economic competitiveness and the overall mental health and wellbeing of concerned individuals, including children and youth. Furthermore, they may explore the ways in which market access and digitalisation should be shaped to enable transitions into decent work and increased socio-economic security and the role of welfare on stimulating entrepreneurship and risktaking.

Objective
Projects should contribute to all of the following expected outcomes:
BACK TO INDEX
Analyse the main drivers of inequality trends, considering both inequality of opportunities and inequality of outcomes in terms of conditions of life, economic resources and health, analyse the interplay between inequalities in different spheres of life, and identify policy factors for tackling them. Identify and analyse different drivers of inequalities at the local, regional, national and supranational level and identify the governance levels best placed to act. Produce research evidence, guidance and recommendations for policy-makers, social partners, firms and stakeholders to tackle unsustainable trends and reverse inequalities. Understand key drivers of increasing territorial inequalities and identify policy factors at different governance levels for tackling urban and rural decline. Understand how people perceive these inequalities (depending on culture, age, gender, etc.) Eligible Activities
research should analyse the main reasons for the increasing inequalities reported in the last decades worldwide and, thereby, identify whether this is primarily policy driven and/or the result of different factors related to globalisation and technological innovations. More specifically, research should examine whether inequality dynamics are determined by different trends: pre-market processes including the transfer of inequalities and resources across generations (the role of cultural capital, unequal familial and background factors, paying special attention to single-parent families with dependent children; unequal access to education and training of adequate quality and content at all levels, including early childhood education and care, digital skills training or to employment counselling) in-market processes (labour market dynamics and institutions including employment contracts and working conditions, capital and goods market structure; increasing relevance of superstar firms; globalized value chains, allocation of labour on a global scale, diffusion of innovation across firms) post-market processes (tax-benefit policies)

Addressing poor learning outcomes in basic skills and early school leaving at national, regional and local level in Europe
call synopsis
Horizon Europe
Administration
European Commission
Objective
Projects should contribute to all of the following expected outcomes: Support research and policy action to address low-achievement in basic skills as well as in digital skills, prevent school dropout, thereby increasing social upward mobility in Europe.Examine the quality of learning outcomes for primary and secondary school pupils and their determinants, including the influence of high quality early childhood education and care (ECEC). Analyse and recommend possible policy approaches to address underachievement, evaluate successful and less successful policies and practices based on scientific research and evidence, as well as mobilise stakeholders to design innovative policy solutions, which can be scalable and replicable by other projects and stakeholders. Understand, explain and tackle better the challenge of underachievement in relation to school dropout mentioned above, i.e. in the context of early tracking policies, while focusing in particular on students belonging to vulnerable populations most affected by dropout (socio-economically disadvantaged groups, Roma, migrants, refugees, etc.). Explore good practices in school guidance, orientation and tutorial actions in current educational contexts, addressing low-achievement in basic skills as well as tackling early school leaving, in order to support educational stakeholders and foster school inclusiveness.
Eligible Activities
Proposals should concentrate on the institutional, socio-economic, cognitive, cultural, linguistic gender, psycho-emotional and well-being determinants, as well as the root causes of underachievement and school dropout at primary, secondary and postsecondary levels of education. They should adopt a general life-long learning (LLL) approach, in which the development of the key competence of learning to learn is crucial. Proposals should take into account inequalities and the educational actions to overcome them. In addition, the action should examine the causes of underachievement related with the availability and quality of early childhood education and care (ECEC). This should enable the formulation of novel policy measures and targeted actions aimed at reducing the compounded impact of underachievement and school dropout on socio-economic fairness and inter-generational mobility in Europe. The action could also consider experimental research in order to better test the tools, the methods and the organisation of education by involving social and civil society actors, as well as relevant stakeholders.

Objective
Produce theoretically and empirically robust visions for the future of liberal democratic institutions. Reflect upon and actualise what liberal democracy means in the 21st century in Europe. Develop recommendations, toolkits, narratives and methodologies to reinstate the legitimacy and effectiveness of liberal democracies. Specifically the objective is: To examine the internal (within nation-states) and external challenges to liberal democracy and the discourses, social structures and institutions that underpin them. They should illustrate how such discourses depict social and political subjects as well as the structure of modern societies and institutions. How do these counter basic tenets of liberal democracy? When and why are they successful, or not? Long-term trends in the functioning of key elements of European liberal democracies (fundamental and human rights of individuals – such as freedom of expression, of assembly, of non-discrimination –, the rule of law, pluralism, separation of powers, access to justice, the independence of the judiciary and the media, protection of minorities, right to asylum, etc.) and their public legitimacy should be analysed and compared.

Objective
The implementation of the research activities of the destination will assist in the reinvigoration and modernisation of democratic governance. The aim is to develop evidence-based innovations, policies and policy recommendations, as well as institutional frameworks that expand political participation, social dialogue, civic engagement, gender equality and inclusiveness. Activities will also contribute to enhancing the transparency, effectiveness, accountability and legitimacy of public policy-making. They will help improving trust in democratic institutions, safeguarding liberties and the rule of law and protecting democracy from multidimensional threats. Rich historical, cultural and philosophical perspectives, including a comparative dimension, will set the frame for soundly understanding present developments and help to map future pathways. In the medium to long term, the knowledge, data, scientifically robust recommendations and innovations generated will enhance decision making on all aspects relevant to democratic governance. As the Destination aims directly at citizen engagement and at producing lasting change, it is of particular importance that the research and innovation actions promote the highest standards of transparency and openness. When applicable, it is encouraged to open up the process, criteria, methodologies and data to civil society in the course of the research.
Eligible Activities
Proposals are expected to address some of the following points: To study the interrelationship between politics, people’s participation, culture and economics in modern European democracies across time. In this vein, to comparatively analyse the role of various democratic institutional configurations and actors in mitigating the negative effects of economic activity on society and on democratic processes, while promoting inclusive and sustainable growth. How can democratic politics exercise control over the economic logic? How can re-embedding democracy and (the various forms of) capitalism be envisaged? How do economic actors, such as corporations, influence the democratic process? Through what channels (political parties, media, sponsorship, etc.)? What is the real impact of corporate lobbying on the democratic process? Research may study trends in capital accumulation and distribution, especially in new digital and creative industries, and the impacts they have on the functioning of democracies.

Objective
Projects should contribute to at least two of the following expected outcomes: Comprehensive stocktaking of developments over the last decade, so that the European Union’s democracy support efforts can both regain traction and be revamped where necessary. Development of an improved policy toolkit for supporting liberal democracy in the European Union’s neighbourhood, paving the way for more stability and cooperation. Evidence base for the mid-term review of the implementation of the Action Plan for Human Rights and Democracy 2020-2024. Reflection on the European Union’s aspiration and role in supporting democracy in its neighbourhood.
Eligible Activities
Proposals are expected to address some of the following points: To take stock of developments in democracy building or failure in the EU’s neighbourhood countries. Research should draw lessons as regards success factors and barriers (political, economic, social, cultural, etc.) in the different regional, national and supranational contexts. The role of third country actors like the United States of America, China, Russia and their impact on democratisation processes or the entrenchment of authoritarianism should be examined. Similarly, the interplay of security and stability considerations and democratisation support in the EU’s agenda and actions should be analysed. Proposals should also assess the mechanisms the EU uses to support political change, as well as examine the discourses and narratives it employs and the actors it targets. They are expected to collect reliable and comparable data on funding for democracy, human rights, gender equality, the rule of law and good governance support, in order to build an account of the outcomes of a decade’s efforts, and thus facilitate learning and improvement. International cooperation with partners from countries in the EU’s neighbourhood is strongly encouraged.

European Commission
Objective
Projects should contribute to at least two of the following expected outcomes: Develop and strengthen the use of digital technologies to protect, preserve, restore and safeguard cultural heritage and the arts in complementarity to other research methods. Facilitate and widen access to cultural assets through digital and cutting-edge technologies and tools, in parallel or as an alternative to physical access to cultural heritage. Support comparative analysis with artificial intelligence, including analysis across time, and other digital means to improve innovation and knowledge exchange in the cultural and creative sectors. Increase the competitiveness of cultural and creative industries in the internal market and internationally, and provide opportunities for new and sustainable jobs creation. Explore the role of digital tools, such as 3D/4D simulations, virtual and augmented reality technologies in engaging with cultural heritage during and after the COVID-19 crisis. Use digital tools and other outcomes to provide efficient and global solutions to the real needs of accessing, protecting and preserving cultural heritage, including the “born digital” one.
Eligible Activities
R&I actions under this topic are envisaged to promote extended digitisation so that collections, artefacts and monuments, including the “born digital” heritage, can be preserved, restored and safeguarded in a sustainable and user-friendly way. At the same time, research should prevent any potential negative consequence of doing so. In addition, digitisation practices have to comply with intellectual property law, in particular copyright law. They should develop digital facilities that will allow building shared infrastructures, provide specialised trainings and courses and facilitate knowledge and know-how exchange to address real needs in the field of cultural heritage. Projects should thus increase the use of existing tools and cutting-edge technologies, such as virtual and augmented reality or artificial intelligence, to reduce access and knowledge limitations to cultural assets.

European Researchers' Night 20222023
call synopsis Horizon Europe
Administration
European Commission
Objective
The European Researchers' Night takes place every year, on the last Friday of September. It supports events that can last up to two days: they can start on Friday and continue the following day. Pre-events, prior to the main event, and related post-events, such as wrap-up meetings or small-scale follow-up events, can also be organised. It is the occasion for a Europe-wide public and media event for the promotion of research careers, in particular focused on young people and their families. The European Researchers’ Night targets the general public, addressing and attracting people regardless of the level of their scientific background, with a special focus on families, pupils and students, and notably those who do not have easy access to, and thus are less inclined to engage in STEAM fields (science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics) or research activities. The European Researchers’ Night will also bring researchers to schools to interact with pupils at any time during the project duration. The Researchers at Schools activities will allow researchers and pupils to interact on societal challenges and on the key role of research to address them. Pupils will thus also learn directly about research projects and initiatives related to EU main priorities.
Eligible Activities
Activities can combine education with entertainment, especially when addressing young audiences. They can take various forms, such as exhibitions, hands-on experiments, science shows, simulations, debates, games, competitions, quizzes, etc. Where appropriate, engagement with educational institutions should be sought in order to encourage formal and informal science education with the aim of improving the scientific knowledge base. This will be particularly relevant for Researchers at Schools activities, which will allow researchers to showcase their work and interact with pupils. Researchers will engage with teachers and pupils on challenges related to climate change, sustainable development, health and other issues related to the European Commission priorities and main orientations, such as the European Green Deal or the EU Research and Innovation Missions. The Researchers at Schools activities should take place throughout the year and should be subject to a dedicated promotion, particularly towards schools.

Europe has an extensive landscape of battery R&I stakeholders. Thus there is a need to continuously consolidate the Battery R&I community across the EU and associated countries and across Battery-related networks, projects and initiatives (including European, national, regional – HEU Partnerships, IPCEIs, Interregional partnership on advanced battery materials, European Battery Alliance and coordination actions including BATTERY 2030+, LiPLANET).
Eligible Activities
Proposals are expected to: Develop, consolidate and communicate a strategic research approach for all stakeholders throughout the entire European Battery Value Chain. Develop and/or update coherent Strategic Research and Innovation agenda (SRIA) and corresponding detailed roadmaps covering all aspects of the battery value chain through expert group work. Facilitate and support work of experts from a different field in a crosscollaboration manner, identify the challenges and opportunities and so create guidelines and recommendations on how best to develop synergies. Establish and continuously update Key performance indicator (KPI's) values for current state-of-art battery technology, as collected from stakeholders across the battery value chain correlated and communicated via SET Plan progress monitoring. Establish Target Key performance indicators (Target KPI's) values for future battery R&I as collected from all relevant forums, correlated and communicated via SET Plan progress monitoring and the Strategic Research and Innovation agenda (SRIA) to the entire R&I community in general.

Strengthening Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH) research communities in climate, energy and mobility disciplines
call synopsis
Horizon Europe
Administration
European Commission
Objective
Research and innovation communities focusing on Social Science and Humanities (SSH) approaches to climate, energy and mobility as well as on citizen engagement and empowerment are less fragmented and better networked across Europe, including with respect to Eastern and Southern Europe. A targeted strategy for intensifying collaboration between Scientific, Technical, Engineering and Mathematical (STEM) and Social Science and Humanities (SSH) research and innovation communities has led to more and more in-depth interdisciplinary work. Dedicated outreach and engagement activities (e.g. cocreation processes and greater dissemination of best practices and challenges), have produced strong links to principal stakeholder communities, including policymakers at various levels, the private sector, academia, civil society, and citizens at large. Project activities have lowered social and behavioural barriers and contributed to greater citizen engagement in the context of the SET Plan, Horizon Europe Missions, Horizon Europe Partnerships,
Eligible Activities
Confronting the threat of global warming and transitioning to carbon neutrality by midcentury requires research and innovation in a number of distinct but interconnected areas, notably in climate science, energy, and mobility. Along with technological innovations, successful solutions need to factor in changing lifestyles, social innovation, forms of behaviour, value structures, governance arrangements at institutional or corporate levels, as well as forms of social organisation. This calls for concerted, multidisciplinary approaches that are rooted in a variety of academic disciplines but also draw in and engage policymakers at various levels, the private sector, civil society and citizens at large. To develop and enact such approaches, more extensive networks connecting relevant communities of researchers and practitioners are required, to facilitate and enable deeper and more consequential forms of collaboration. In particular, Scientific, Technical, Engineering and Mathematical (STEM) communities in climate science, energy and climate need to work more closely with those in the Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH) disciplines.

Sustainable processing, refining and recycling of raw materials (Batteries Partnership)
call synopsis Programme
Horizon Europe
Administration
European Commission
Objective
Raw materials need to be competitively processed and refined in Europe in a sustainable way, including reduced environmental footprint, and improved social aspects and competitiveness. This is underlined in the recently published list of Critical Raw Materials (https://ec.europa.eu/growth/sectors/raw-materials/specific-interest/critical_en) and the Circular Economy Action Plan (https://ec.europa.eu/environment/circular-economy/). Project results will contribute to decreasing dependency of Europe on imported battery chemicals and raw materials. As a result new business opportunities and jobs will be created for the European industry. Projects are expected to coordinate with projects funded under Cluster 4 RESILIENCE Green and Sustainable Materials topics. Projects are expected to contribute to European Raw Materials Alliance objectives.
Eligible Activities
In order to secure a competitive battery industry in Europe, innovations in chemical and metallurgical production are required. The focus is at improved yield, better process control, flowsheet flexibility, improved product purity and quality, improved impurity removal, and improved recovery from secondary streams. These innovations are in some cases complementary unit processes to existing process flow sheets, while in others, such as European lithium or precursor production, completely new flowsheets. These advancements are expected to bring the European battery metal and chemical production to a global leadership.

Accelerating the climate transition in difficult contexts: transition super-labs (pilot)
call synopsis Programme
Horizon Europe
Administration
European Commission
Objective
A mapping exercise has identified which settings across Europe – such as non-sustainable business complexes, mining regions or polluted metropolitan areas – would benefit the most from the transition super-labs approach, and which settings could serve to demonstrate the utility of this approach more generally. Feasibility studies have been carried out in a select number of these settings, yielding programmatic, actionable blueprints with a view of launching actual transition super-labs at a subsequent stage.Enabling coalitions for the practical delivery of transition superlabs have been assembled, with the participation of policymakers at local, regional and other levels, business, finance, civil society organisations, individual citizens, as well as academia. A program outline for the practical delivery of a number of transition super-labs in several contexts across Europe, comprising at least three EU Member States and/or Associated Countries, has been prepared, including an assessment of the contribution of different funding instruments (European, national regional and private funds).
Eligible Activities
First suggested by the High-Level Panel of the European Decarbonisation Pathways Initiative, Transition Super Labs are a novel way of linking research and innovation with policy. They are particularly relevant for challenges that defy purely technocratic solutions and require fundamental transformations in economies and societies, including lifestyle and behavioural changes or forms of social innovation. Anchored in the EU’s research and innovation framework program, they provide ample room for co-creation with Member States/Associated Countries, stakeholders and citizens. Transition Super Labs are real-life laboratories where a rapid shift to climate neutrality is conceptualised, implemented, monitored and revised in an integrated way. Similar to “living labs” but operating at a much larger scale, they spur the transformation of whole entities – such as non-sustainable business complexes, mining regions and polluted metropolitan areas – in an economically, socially and environmentally sustainable manner. Designed as flagship demonstrators, Transition Super Labs involve a broad range of actors – businesses and industry, different levels of government, academia, civil society, citizens at large – working closely with communities and regions directly affected by climate change.

Fostering a just transition in Europe
BACK TO INDEX
call synopsis
Programme
Horizon Europe
Administration
European Commission
Objective
A better understanding of the distributional repercussions of the transition to climate neutrality across sectors, social groups, countries, regions, cities, and in the labour market that will help implement the commitment to “leaving nobody behind”. A better understanding of the trade-offs and synergies between climate action, climate-change impacts and equity and justice considerations, such as social inequality, gender equalities, as well as their interaction with other transformations that underpin the transition to climate neutrality. Addressing procedural justice concerns in the transition to carbon neutrality, via deeper and more consequential involvement of stakeholders from all parts of society in the transition process, for instance via co-design and co-production processes, social innovations, citizen science, user-led innovation type activities, or upstream multi-stakeholder debates or mechanisms for citizen deliberation and engagement. New scientific evidence to inform EU, national and regional policies in designing inclusive, socially fair, gender-sensitive and economically viable transition plans and post-COVID recovery packages that take due care of the most affected regions, cities, sectors and parts of society, including vulnerable individuals and households. Increased societal and political acceptance for climate transition strategies, including renewable energy projects and more sustainable mobility concepts, based on greater involvement of those most affected, leading to better capacity for co-designing policy frameworks that enhance inclusiveness while minimising adverse distributional effects and inequalities.
Eligible Activities
Actions should enhance the understanding of the challenges of the “just transition” to climateneutral and environmentally sustainable economies and societies, as envisaged in the European Green Deal and Next Generation EU. They should analyse various dimensions of inequality arising from climate change impacts, climate policies and transition pathways including their distributional implications associated with changes in GDP, industrial competitiveness and trade, employment and skills, taxation, incomes and wealth, vulnerabilities and human health, structure of sectors, business models and relative prices etc. Further equity aspects associated with climate change impacts and climate policy, such as differential vulnerabilities as well as intergenerational fairness or justice should also be studied, taking into consideration social and geographic circumstances and paying due attention to most vulnerable parts of the society (poor, elderly, persons with disabilities, children, migrants etc.). The gender dimension should also be explored. Research should integrate learnings from the COVID-19 pandemic in terms of the evolution of inequality in Europe and analyse potential implications for climate action and green recovery.

Integration of CCUS in hubs and clusters, including knowledge sharing activities
call synopsis
Programme
Horizon Europe
Administration
European Commission
Objective
The continuation of investigating CCUS possibilities in hubs and clusters, including knowledge sharing activities, is urgently needed as it could help to identify infrastructure needs. Furthermore, it could also lead to identifying potential new CO2 Projects of Common Interest in the sense of the TEN-E regulation[1]. Early planning will enable and accelerate the roll-out of a CCUS infrastructure consisting of capture points and clusters, intermediate hubs, CO2 conversion facilities, safe and cost-effective CO2 transport and storage. Comprehensive information concerning the integration of CCUS in hubs and clusters will facilitate the development of operational sites as from the early 2020's. The project is expected to demonstrate the necessary requirements for CCUS integration in carbon-intensive industries and will promote knowledge sharing activities
Eligible Activities
The project is expected to include the elaboration of detailed plans for the integration of CCUS in hubs and clusters linked to CO2 storage sites via hubs, pipeline networks and shipping routes, with due attention to national and border-crossing permitting and regulatory issues. Mapping and understanding the nature and longevity of emission sources, identification of transport corridors and modalities, and performing initial impact assessments, and developing local business models for delivery of CO2 capture, transport, utilisation and/or storage (including the separation of responsibilities across the CO2 value chain), within promising regions is important. Industrial clusters may include, for example, power generation, cement and steel factories, chemical plants, refineries, waste-to-energy plants, and hydrogen production facilities. In its initial phase, this topic could include the use of natural gas (for the production of low carbon hydrogen, in power plants and refineries). The assessment of cost-effective ('bankable') storage capacity in the selected regions is important. This can be sites for onshore or offshore storage capabilities. Interaction between CCUS hubs-and-clusters on the one hand, and renewables-based integrated energy systems, and/or circular production modes on the other; will need to be studied.

Cost reduction of CO2 capture (new or improved technologies)
call synopsis
Programme
Horizon Europe
Administration
European Commission
Objective
Significant step-change advances in CO2 capture rates, reductions in energy penalty and cost of CO2 capture as well as facilitating safe and economic integration into industrial clusters - which will in a short timeframe allow the uptake of CCUS in the power sector and energy intensive industries.
Eligible Activities
The high cost of carbon capture is still the most relevant stumbling block for a wider application of CCUS. Commercial deployment of CCUS requires a significant reduction of the energy intensity of the CO2 capture process for power plants or other energy-intensive industries, and a substantial decrease of the cost of capture. A continuous effort is needed to develop and demonstrate new or improved capture technologies. The objective is the pilot demonstration of advanced CO2 capture technologies that have a high potential for increasing capture rates and efficiency, while reducing energy penalty and improving cost-efficiency of the whole capture process. Projects will test operating conditions and operational flexibility, and provide proof of the reliability and cost-effectiveness of these concepts, whilst at the same time evaluating the cost, technical requirements and operational and safety impacts on the industrial facility and the associated transport and storage infrastructure. The proposal should state credible and clearly defined targets and key performance indicators (KPIs) for the energy penalty reduction, the capture rate and the relative capital and operating costs of the capture process. Environmentally benign technologies have to be pursued and their environmental impact addressed in the project also in view of future scaling up.

Programme
Horizon Europe
Administration
European Commission
Objective
Project results are expected to contribute to both of the following outcomes: Consolidation of strong and sustainable networks in the different technology areas covered through the Strategic Energy Technology (SET) Plan and its integrated roadmap. Cooperation among ETIPs and similar stakeholders fora, support to existing SET Plan Implementation Plans and advancement towards more interconnected activities, both in terms of contents and implementation mechanisms.
Eligible Activities
In 2015, the launch of the Energy Union saw the SET Plan incorporated as the Energy Union’s fifth pillar on ‘Research, Innovation and Competitiveness’. Through the Communication “Towards an Integrated Strategic Energy Technology (SET) Plan”, the Integrated SET Plan set ambitious R&I targets which remain relevant and essential in the new context of the European Green Deal and the Recovery Plan for Europe. Depending on the sector, European Technology and Innovation Platforms (ETIPs), and/or SET Plan Implementation Working Groups (IWG) and/or similar stakeholders fora support the development and implementation of the SET Plan R&I priorities by bringing together relevant stakeholders in key areas from industry, research organisations and, where applicable, SET Plan Countries’ government representatives. They develop research and innovation agendas and roadmaps, industrial strategies, analysis of market opportunities and funding needs, understanding of innovation barriers and exploitation of research results, which are in line with the Recovery Plan for Europe and latest EU climate and energy related policies. They also provide consensus-based strategic advice to the SET Plan initiative covering technical and non-technological aspects. Considering the overarching aim of the clean energy transition, ETIPs, IWGs and/or similar fora are encouraged to align and coordinate their activities, defining cross-cutting aspects for accelerating the clean energy transition and contribute to the development of a European Research Area in the field of Energy. Proposals should support ETIPs and/or IWGs and/or stakeholders fora of one of the above-listed sectors, taking into consideration the specific needs of the sector they address and the emerging policy priorities for their implementation as well as the coordination with other initiatives/ projects, in order to avoid overlaps.

Technologies for non- CO2 greenhouse gases removal
call synopsis Programme
Horizon Europe
Administration
European Commission
Objective
Increase knowledge on the plausibility of removing non-CO2 greenhouse gases from the atmosphere. Raise awareness on the effects of non-CO2 greenhouse gases on earth warming. Develop technologies for addressing the effects of non-CO2 greenhouse gas emissions. Investigate techno-economic aspects of technologies and physical properties of emissions striving to match both into market-ready solutions.
Eligible Activities
Development of technologies for removing non-CO2 greenhouse gases CH4, N2O and fluorinated gases. This topic focusses on technological concepts at low TRLs (TRL 3 or lower). In the case of methane, the scope of possible applications is further constrained: Methane emissions stemming from the supply chain of fossil fuels are excluded, considering that such emissions are meant to be addressed through emission avoidance. Other emissions with a methane concentration higher than 1% are also excluded, considering that economic interests should drive their mitigation. Technologies are expected to contribute to the capture, concentration, use and/or disposal of emissions, either from or at natural sources (if more concentrated) or in the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide may be considered, though only if any synergy can be found with processing it in combination with other greenhouse gas(es) which should be the prime focus. The state-of the art of technology development will be clearly presented in the proposal with global potential for emission reductions, cost figures and versatility and economic viability of use where appropriate.

Methane cracking to usable hydrogen and carbon
call synopsis Programme
Horizon Europe
Administration
European Commission
Objective
Replacement of the unabated use of natural gas by climate-neutral (or negative, in case of cracking of biogenic methane) hydrogen. Reduction of emissions by hard to decarbonise sectors, also considering the use of eventual byproducts. Faster reduction of GHG emissions by economies heavily relying on natural gas export or use (provided they reduce their upstream emissions). Production of economically usable by-product solid carbon (in tires, batteries, etc.).
Eligible Activities
A potential breakthrough technology is represented by the development of processes allowing the use of available fossil and renewable methane to economically generate hydrogen without any release of CO2 or other GHGs (as in current processes). To be advantageous on a life cycle basis, however, this requires a higher efficiency than in current processes and that the used natural or renewable gas is supplied by a chain with low upstream leakage. This requires the development of innovative methodologies to deliver high performance hydrogen production from methane by directly splitting the molecule in its components (hydrogen and solid carbon). Proposals are expected to demonstrate significant advances with respect to already achieved results in Europe and outside, delivering a minimum of 50% efficiency (i.e. energy from hydrogen recovery vs energy from original methane, for instance by reducing reaction temperatures and improving catalysts), and demonstrating the potential to achieve mass production and a competitive hydrogen cost and an improved climate performance with respect to current methane based, CO2 releasing hydrogen production methods including CCS. Due consideration should be given to the management of impurities in the source stream, and to the development of the economic potential of the carbon particles delivered by the specific technology which could have a valuable end-use (e.g. synthetic graphite or carbon black) or the development of side-streams of other carbon-rich chemical compounds (excluding uses which would re-release the carbon as CO2). Each project will dedicate part of its work programme to technology assessment to consider environmental, resource and economic aspects of the deployment of the technology).

Sustainable, safe and efficient recycling processes (Batteries Partnership)
call synopsis Programme
Horizon Europe
Administration
European Commission
Objective
Improved access to battery materials and strengthened European raw material independency by increased circularity of material flows and use of the secondary raw materials in new batteries produced in Europe. Increased European competitiveness offering sustainable, safe, energy efficient and low carbon footprint battery recycling technologies and upscaleable solutions. Reduced recycling cost and environmental impacts through new and disruptive concepts for very high efficiency recycling. Improved health and safety aspects of recycling. The industry is prepared to meet the new regulatory targets for the recycling.
Eligible Activities
In order to effectively exploit the vast amounts of EV and stationary battery waste emerging in the next decades, as well as the increasing amounts of production scrap resulting from larger manufacturing, it is important to create innovative feasible and holistic recycling processes in Europe. Newly developed recycling processes are expected to be more flexible and adaptive, to be able to meet a wide variety of battery waste or production scrap resulting from cross different Libattery chemistries (i.e. with and without transition metals). It is desirable to implement intelligent process design through integrating selected fractions into existing industrial infrastructure, or other innovative integration of fractions or processes. The recycling processes may partially utilise existing metallurgical infrastructure of the primary materials to support feasible processing and explore ways to support industrial transition towards green technologies. Newly developed recycling processes are expected to aim at recovering the highest amount of resources (e.g. metals, graphite, fluorinated compounds and polymers, active materials) present within secondary raw materials which result from spent Li-batteries with and without transition metals and focus on the reuse of these materials in batteries.

Manufacturing technology development for solid-state batteries (SSB, Generations 4a - 4b batteries) (Batteries Partnership)
call synopsis Programme
Horizon Europe
Administration
European Commission
Objective
Position Europe at the industrial production lead in the international race for next generation, SSB technologies all through the value chain. Generation of an indigenous technological knowledge portfolio of industrially scalable manufacturing solutions for the different approaches to SSB including all core components: electrolytes, anodes –either carbon or Li(m) based - and their ad hoc composites cathodes. Contribute to climate neutral transport via the development of breakthrough technology in SSB batteries. Enable cost effective, low carbon footprint and low-emission mass production of Gen4 technology in Europe..
Eligible Activities
Lithium ion battery cells with conventional active materials are reaching their limits in terms of energy densities. Also, safety issues arise with the utilisation of liquid organic electrolyte which are becoming even more critical with the nearly introduction of advanced materials made to increase cell voltage and fast-charging rates. Hence, there is an urgent need for the development of innovative scalable manufacturing technologies based on of new solid electrolytes that can be also combined with metallic lithium at the anode, leading to significantly enhanced energy density. In that context, solid-state electrolytes enable overcoming current battery cells limitations in terms of voltage and safety (reducing dendrites formation risk) leading to and increased intrinsic thermal and electrochemical stability. As a consequence, in parallel to the progress in new materials developments, there is a growing need of Research and Innovation addressed to develop appropriate processing techniques for assemble cells based on solid type electrolytes including all current foreseen technological options: polymer-based, hybrid polymeric, inorganic and other alternatives such as gel-like semisolid electrolytes.

Environmentally sustainable processing techniques applied to large scale electrode and cell component manufacturing for Li ion batteries (Batteries Partnership)
call synopsis Programme
Horizon Europe
Administration
European Commission
Objective
Provide European a leadership position in production of batteries with lower carbon footprint. New sustainable electrode and cell manufacturing techniques are with reduced energy consumption, lower carbon footprint and no Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) emissions. Electrode and cell manufacturing processes are scalable, safer, cheaper, cleaner and less energy consuming compared to state-of-the-art technologies, ultimately reinforcing an internationally competitive European battery manufacturing industry. Electrode coating production techniques completely eliminate organic solvents as slurry dispersing media leading to avoid the large capital costs associated to the solvent recovery system Implementation of dry manufacturing techniques such as 3D patterning of active electrode layers, and/or hydrophobic surface treatment of electrodes with next generation materials. Industrialising closed loops and process design to return low-value chemicals from manufacturing processes to high-value and necessary inputs for the battery manufacturing industry.
Eligible Activities
Industrial scale fabrication of Li-ion battery (LIB) porous electrodes imply casting of a slurry over a thin metallic current collector according to conventional coating procedures. This is the technology used also for advanced LIBs with high energy electrode materials and liquid electrolyte (Gen3a/b). The slurry to be coated is prepared by mixing the active material, conductive agent and binder in a solvent, typically N-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP). Since NMP is toxic in nature, an expensive recovery system should be placed to collect the evaporated NMP in the drying process. Less expensive and environmentally friendly solvents, such as water are already employed for anode manufacturing, which eliminates the large capital cost of the solvent recovery system. Wet coating technologies can still be further optimised and benefit from reducing the solvent fraction, thus, reducing the energy demand of the drying step. Moreover, completely dry processing techniques could completely remove the need for energy consuming drying, hence reducing the CO2 footprint of the electrode fabrication process.

Objective
Establishing European industry leadership in eXtended collaborative telepresence solutions, while ensuring ethics, privacy, security and safety.
Eligible Activities
This topic aims to increase the European competitiveness and innovation capacity and foster the adoption of European eXtended collaborative telepresence technologies in both professional and private spheres, taking benefit of combining real and virtual environments to improve distant human-human interactions through wearables and computer mediated technologies. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused major disruptions to the way we work and live. Physical distancing and global lockdown, as well as pressing climate and environmental concerns, have accelerated the need for development and adoption of telepresence technologies to sustain the productivity of remote and online contactless activities, as well as maintaining social bonds. With a worldwide CO2 emission reduction of more than 20%, the crisis has also revealed that teleworking and reduction of travel is an efficient mitigating solution. Tools supporting enhanced teleworking have become of primal importance. However, existing collaborative telepresence tools and solutions raise concerns in terms of functionalities, interoperability, efficiency, versatility, openness, accessibility, security and privacy of personal data. Proposals should leverage existing open standards and technologies in the domain of eXtended Reality, combining human-machine interactions and all real, mix, augmented and virtual environments, accessibility, networks, security and privacy to provide low-cost and widely available eXtended collaborative telepresence solutions. To ensure wide take-up, proposals should demonstrate their capacity to scale up by involving high numbers of end-users in tests in real environments.

Objective
Proposal results are expected to contribute to all the following expected outcomes: Scientific and technology advances in the major robotics challenges hampering its deployment. A strong and tightly networked European research community in robotics, making it a world-class powerhouse for robotics excellence.
Eligible Activities
To ensure European open strategic autonomy in robotics, with huge potential socioeconomic impact, it is essential to reinforce and build on Europe’s assets, including its world-class research community. In order to stay at the forefront of technological developments, it is essential that researchers collaborate, share ideas and research outcomes. A strongly networked community focused on excellence will be better at addressing the major robotics challenges that block the domain’s further development and deployment. As stated in the communication from the European Commission on Artificial Intelligence for Europe[1] and the coordinated action plan between the European Commission and the Member States and Associated Countries[2], while Europe has undeniable strengths with its many leading research centres, efforts are scattered. Therefore, joining forces will be crucial to international competitiveness. Europe must scale up existing research capacities and reach a critical mass through tighter networks of European robotics excellence centres. Proposals should develop mechanisms to reinforce and network excellence centres in AI-powered robotics[3], bringing the best scientists from academia and industry to join forces in addressing the major robotics challenges hampering its deployment, and to reinforce excellence in robotics throughout Europe via a network of collaboration that focuses research excellence on future industrial needs. Such networks are expected to mobilise leading researchers to collaborate on key robotics topics, to reach critical mass and increase the impact of the funding in progressing faster in joined efforts rather than working in isolation, with fragmented and duplicated efforts.

Horizon Europe
Administration
European Commission
Objective
Next generation of higher-level (meta) operating systems for the smart Internet of Things with strong computing capacity at the smart device, system and edge-level, embedded in a compute continuum from IoT-to-edge-to-cloud. Such Operating system should be device independent and implement advanced concepts such as ad-hoc clouds, time-triggered IoT, and decentralised intelligence. Increasing European autonomy in data processing required to support future hyper-distributed applications by building open platforms and an open edge ecosystem including business models, driven by European actors. Achieving trust in these (meta) operating systems among actors in diverse industrial ecosystems by leveraging open standards and - where applicable open source. Emergence of an open edge ecosystem including midcaps, SMEs and start-ups that foster the up-take of an edge operating system, e.g. through a modular functional spectrum of executable apps and services, for nurturing a European network of innovators and developers. Demonstrators in key industrial and societal applications, which in future require more power at the edge.
Eligible Activities
Europe needs to strengthen its supply and value chains in cloud to edge computing by integrating relevant elements of computing, connectivity, IoT, AI and cybersecurity. Exploiting network functions such as adhoc - cloud/fog communication not limited to 5G , the objective is to develop meta operating systems for the edge that enable cloud and edge computing orchestrations by bringing computation, data and intelligence closer to where the data is produced (sensors and devices) and by which volume, variety, interoperability, and velocity should be handled efficiently and securely. This will make AI training and inference at the edge viable and lead to a next generation of internetenabled automation concepts virtualizing computing and networking functions, multi-state analytics and digital twinning of underlying objects to improve end-to-end response time, to optimise the CO2 footprint and benefit from the use of renewable energy sources.

Projects are expected to contribute to the following outcomes: Improved and professionalised NCP services across Europe, in the respective thematic area, thereby supporting access to Horizon Europe calls, lowering the entry barriers for newcomers, and raising the average quality of proposals submitted; A more consistent level of NCP support services across Europe; Facilitating participation of new players in projects in this thematic area; Matchmaking activities to link up potential participants from widening countries with emerging consortia in this thematic area. Matchmaking should use a variety of possible tools; Increased cooperation of NCPs with the Enterprise Europe Network.
Eligible Activities
Proposals should facilitate trans-national co-operation amongst National Contact Points (NCPs) in the respective thematic area, encouraging cross-border activities, sharing good practices and raising the general standard of support to programme applicants. Proposers may wish to foresee specialised services covering the respective thematic area, drawing on the expertise of the predecessor network. At the same time, proposers must closely collaborate with the proposals in the two other thematic areas of the cluster,[1] to ensure the cohesion of the services in the three thematic areas of Digital, Industry and Space, with a single entry point and common visual identity. Proposers should also share good practices across thematic areas; and enhance opportunities for collaboration across the cluster. A dedicated work package should be developed to ensure these synergies. Given the importance of human-centric approaches in this cluster, the proposal should attract new types of player to the cluster, for instance social innovation players, makers and youth associations. Appropriate expertise from social sciences and humanities (SSH) should be included

Tackling gender, race and other biases in AI (RIA)
BACK TO INDEX
call synopsis Administration
European Commission
Objective
Testing and assessment of AI systems with real-life data is needed to detect and reduce bias and improve accuracy, in line with the General Data Protection regulation. Assessing the fairness and social benefit[1] of AI-based systems and gaining more scientific understanding about their transparency and interpretation will be necessary to improve existing methods, and develop new ones in employment, advertising, access to health care, fraud detection, combatting online hate speech, and in general addressing bias affecting people’s ability to participate in the economy and society. This becomes particularly relevant in light of the pandemic and ongoing social justice movements, such as #MeToo and Black Lives Matter.
Eligible Activities
proposals are expected to: develop technologies and algorithms to evaluate and address bias in AI-based systems. These underlying methods will help addressing gender, racial, age bias, as well as bias against persons with disabilities, people from socially disadvantaged backgrounds, and the LGBTIQ community in AI-based systems, and support the deployment of such bias-free AI-based solutions. Develop standardized processes to assess and quantify the trustworthiness of the developed AI systems, in particular assessment of bias, diversity, non-discrimination and intersectionality[6] – based on different types of bias measures. This might include a methodology for considering diversity and representativeness of data, ensuring the reliability, traceability, and explainability of the AI systems, testing models on various subgroups and enabling appropriate stakeholder participation.[7] It could also include mechanisms to flag and remove risks of biases and discrimination. Develop recommender and algorithmic decision-making systems which reduce bias in the selected use-case Conduct trainings and awareness raising on preventing gender and intersectional bias for AI researchers, students and practitioners in line with the Digital Education Action Plan 2021 – 2027.[8] Trainings should also target practitioners of AI as a whole to avoid that the topic be limited to those with an already existing interest in socially responsible AI.

Pathfinder Challenge: Awareness Inside
call synopsis Programme
Horizon Europe
Administration
European Commission
Objective
For technologies, awareness principles would allow a step-up in engineering complex systems, making them more resilient, self-developing and human-centric. Awareness is a prerequisite for a real and contextualised understanding of a problem or situation and to adapt ones actions (and their consequences) to the specific circumstances. Ultimately, awareness serves the coherent and purposeful behaviour, learning, adaptation and selfdevelopment of intelligent systems over longer periods of time.
Eligible Activities
Proposals are expected to address each of the following three expected outcomes: 1. New concepts of awareness that are applicable to systems other than human, including technological ones; 2. Demonstrate and validate the role and added-value of such an awareness in an aware technology, class of artefacts or services for which the awareness features lead to a truly different quality in terms of, e.g., performance, flexibility, reliability or user-experience. 3. Define an integrative approach for awareness engineering, its technological toolbox, the needs and implications and its limits, including ethical and regulatory requirements. This Challenge is only open to proposals for collaborative projects with at least 3 partners following the standard eligibility conditions. Proposals are required to comply with the Trustworthy Artificial Intelligence principles.

Pathfinder Challenge: Tools to measure and stimulate activity in Brain Tissue
BACK TO INDEX
call synopsis Programme
Horizon 2020
Administration
European Commission
Objective
Proposals submitted to this call should tackle at least one of the following two challenges: A full device with unique features, e.g. targeting a currently untreated disorder, offering unprecedented miniaturisation, low latency closed-loop monitoring-stimulation feedback (if necessary), ultra-low power consumption, low/moderate invasiveness (e.g. compatible with implantation with endoscopic techniques), high-resolution, sustainable, etc. or New or nascent physical principles or methodologies that could be the basis for future brain sensing and/or stimulation technologies, with clear and quantifiable advantages. Focus is on techniques that can offer unprecedented data on brain function or that allow unprecedented modulation of brain activity for therapeutic purposes or brain-computer interfacing.
Eligible Activities
Proposals targeting a full device are strongly encouraged to establish a plausible work plan to realise by the end of the project at least 1) a working prototype device or instrument and 2) pre-clinical data with proof of therapeutic action. Proposals targeting the discovery of a new mechanism for monitor and/or stimulate are advised to de-risk the work plan by exploring multiple strategies in parallel, merging competing strategies into a single proposal for cost efficiencies and increased likelihood of success. Consortia considering both targets in a single proposal are advised to carefully analyse whether the high risk inherent to the discovery of new mechanisms or principles could hamper the plausibility of completing a full device hinging on said principles. All proposals must fully justify the clinical need for the targeted development, and structure the work plan accordingly, towards credible future transition to market. Proposals need to consider the cost-benefit of the targeted technology and demonstrate that the outcome will be acceptable by clinicians and patients.

Pathfinder Challenge: Emerging technologies in cell and gene therapy
call synopsis Horizon 2020
Administration
European Commission
Objective
Cell and gene therapy (CGT) are widely accepted as top biomedical trends for over three years now and continue to evolve in their use for treating human diseases. CGTs are expected to increasingly shape the medical treatment and diagnosis, as we are approaching the era of precision medicine. Cell-based therapy is a promising strategy for effective treatment across a wide range of diseases though the focus so far, has primarily been on cancer, e.g. Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy made from removing T cells from individual patients, engineer them to be able to recognize and kill cancer cells before re-administer them to the same patient. CAR-T cell therapy is widely regarded as having revolutionised the treatment of some blood cancers. Recent research evidence suggests that cell therapy can effectively apply to solid cancers as well. With this Pathfinder Challenge, EIC strategically aims at reinforcing critical components of the European cell and gene therapy community, such as focused research consortia, start-ups and spinoffs, in their ability to compete and sustain in this fiercely competitive field, full of challenges and obstacles all along the way from discovery to the manufacturing step. Proposals submitted to this call should effectively address exactly that, by proposing convincing technological solutions and/or new breakthrough concepts that go far beyond the current state-of-the-art.
Eligible Activities
Proposers are invited to submit disease-specific or non-disease-specific proposals, focused on emerging technologies or technological solutions aimed to overcome the current cell and gene therapy challenges in one or several the areas listed below, but without being restricted only to these areas. Advancing cell therapy manufacturing and products to a clinical stage: Improving adoptive cell therapies (CAR-T, TCR, TIL): Identifying next generation cell therapies for cancer: Applying cell therapy to treat cancer patients in a personalised manner: Improving the effectiveness and lowering the risks of gene delivery systems (vectors): Improving gene therapy manufacturing processes and production:

Pathfinder Challenge: Novel routes to green hydrogen production
BACK TO INDEX
call synopsis Programme
Horizon 2020
Administration
European Commission
Objective
The development of efficient, sustainable and flexible energy systems is a key challenge for Europe’s energy decarbonisation and a corner stone of Europe’s 2050 climateneutrality goal, set out in the European Green Deal. To achieve such viable energy system, a particular support should be given to solutions aimed at increasing lifetime and decrease the cost of the overall system. In this context, Hydrogen (H2) has the potential to contribute to the above mentioned objectives.Currently H2 is largely produced from fossil fuels, commonly referred to as grey H2, or promising but still expensive blue H2 options, combining methane-to- H2 with carbon capture and storage, or renewable H2 pathways (green H2), entirely based on renewable electricity. Referring to green H2 production, the state of art technology is based on water electrolysis, with costs still higher than grey H2 and production processes affected by the use of critical raw materials. This Pathfinder Challenge aims at developing novel processes and technologies to produce green H2, at different scales (from small to large) and capturing cross sectorial coupling and system integration opportunities, entirely based on (i) renewable sources and (ii) non-toxic, non-critical raw materials.
Eligible Activities
In order to apply, your proposal should develop a proof of concept or lab-scale validated innovative green H2 production technology by biological, chemical or physical routes without the deployment of fossil fuels, potentially including the use of salt or waste water, air moisture, biomass or recycled by-products, or the co-production of decarbonised chemicals. Projects with multidisciplinary and cross sectorial approaches, looking for inspiration, ideas and knowledge in disciplines that are typically not in this kind of research, are particularly welcome. Projects are strongly encouraged to consider the recovery and recycling of by-products and wastes (circular approach), as well as the use of abundant natural resources. The safe and sustainable use of non-critical raw materials is mandatory and the projects should include a full life cycle analysis of the proposed solutions and their impact on Europe’s decarbonisation goals.

Pathfinder Challenge: Engineered Living Materials
call synopsis Horizon 2020
Administration
European Commission
Objective
Engineered living materials (ELMs) are composed, either entirely or partly, of living cells. ELMs entirely composed of living cells are called biological ELMs and they selfassemble via a bottom-up process – e.g. synthetic morphogenesis for organoids’ production. ELMs only partly composed of living cells are called hybrid living materials (HLMs) and are built with a top-down process with integrated polymers or scaffolds. In both cases, the cellular components extract energy from the environment to form or assemble the material itself, and to adapt its morphology and function to environmental stimuli. This endows these materials with a combination of properties not present in any non-living material: self-regeneration, adaptation to environmental clues, longevity and environmental sustainability. By being alive, ELMs represent a fundamental change in materials’ production and performance, enabling new, better or similar functionalities, compared to traditional materials but with decreased costs and environmental impact. ELMs have the potential to transform virtually every modern endeavour from healthcare to infrastructures to transportation. With this Pathfinder ELMs Challenge the EIC seeks to seize the opportunity to position strategically Europe at the forefront of the ELMs field, which is still in its infancy. This Pathfinder Challenge aims to overcome the technological challenges to harness the engineering potential of nature for materials’ production. The specific objectives of this call are to support the development of new technologies and platforms enabling the controlled production of made-on-demand living materials with multiple predictable dynamic functionalities, shapes and scales; and to build a community of researchers and innovators in ELMs.
Eligible Activities
The specific expected outcomes depending on the choice of the ELM production process (top-down or bottom-up) are: a proof of principle of technologies far beyond the current state-of-the-art enabling the production of a minimum of two novel biological ELMs bigger than 1 cm in all dimensions by programmable and controlled synthetic or engineered morphogenesis (whether with eukaryotic or prokaryotic cells); or a laboratory validated, automated and computer-aided design-build-test-learn (DBTL) platform far beyond the current state-of-the-art able to produce a minimum of two novel HLMs in multiple scales with enhanced or unprecedented properties.

Expanding Acceleration Ecosystems
BACK TO INDEX
call synopsis Programme
Horizon Europe
Administration
European Commission
Objective
Enhanced openness, competitiveness, and global potential of developing innovation ecosystems and creation of local jobs with high-value added; Balanced business activity across Europe; Improved quality and outreach of business acceleration services in developing innovation ecosystems.
Eligible Activities
Incubators, accelerators and different types of ‘company-builders’ play a crucial role in providing start-ups with growth support. Due to the diverse innovation landscape in Europe, start-ups from better-connected innovation ecosystems benefit from more local accelerators with greater funding opportunities and more qualified business support services compared to their counterparts elsewhere[1]. This geographical gap often requires start-ups from less connected ecosystems to move to more established hubs elsewhere in Europe[2]. Consequently, there are fewer scale-ups in less connected innovation ecosystems, creating unbalanced business activity and employment opportunities. The Expanding Acceleration Ecosystems should reverse this flow by making ‘modest’ and ‘moderate’ innovation ecosystems more attractive to international companies interested in setting up their businesses outside the established centres and tapping into the potential of local ecosystems. The action supports co-designed programmes of activities, of at least two (2) calendar years, proposed jointly by business acceleration entities located in less connected innovation ecosystems (‘modest’ and ‘moderate’) and innovation hubs (‘strong innovators’ and innovation leaders’)[3], to improve the quality of business acceleration services, their network outreach and scale-up support, such as: share business acceleration related best practices, knowledge, tools and methods; exchange of promising start-ups and SMEs, including women-led businesses, involving participation in acceleration programmes abroad and introduction to foreign financing institutions; exchange of accelerator programme experts, including evaluators, thematic experts, mentors and investors; establishing links between local actors in developing ecosystems, particularly research, education institutions and local authorities and incoming start-ups, international accelerators and experts to enhance transfer of technology and knowledge to supply them with innovative solution; establishing a virtual platform with an overview of accelerator programmes, financial resources, mentors, events in partner ecosystems.

Objective
An improved evidence-based decision-making and long-term sustainable management of Europe’s subsurface, including offshore, needed to build a climate neutral continent. Comprehensive inventory of harmonised data on primary raw materials in Europe, with a focus on applications of critical raw materials[1] for energy storage and power generation, resulting in a higher level of independence for Europe. Comprehensive inventory of information on geothermal energy resources and subsurface storage capacities for sustainable energy carriers (hydrogen, heat and cold) and sequestration of CO2, based on common and national scale assessment criteria and standardised reporting. Improved appraisal, protection and sustainable use – including appraisal of capacities for temporary storage - of Europe’s groundwater resources, which are under increasing pressure because of climate change and competing uses of the subsurface. Improved adaptation of coastal zones to the effects of climate change and sea level rise. A strong and sustainable network of national Geological Survey organisations in order to provide geological knowledge and services on a Pan-European level.
Eligible Activities
The growing demand for energy, raw materials and water is a key challenge for Europe, requiring a more integrated, efficient and sustainable use of these resources. Europe is increasingly dependent on global supply of mineral resources, in particular on those needed for application in power generation, energy storage and transport, for the transition to climate neutrality. However, until now there is no complete and harmonised data at European level on mineral resources and reserves. There is a need for standardised reporting and uniform appraisal of subsurface capacities for CO2 sequestration and temporary storage of sustainable energy carriers (including hydrogen and heat/cold) in order to support a secure, affordable and low-carbon energy supply. Groundwater resources are under increasing pressure as a result of climate change, as well as competing subsurface uses, including for mineral and energy resources. An upto-date body of knowledge with high quality, policy-relevant geoscientific information and expertise, aggregated at the EU-level, at the service of European citizens, enterprises and institutions.

Novel tandem, high efficiency Photovoltaic technologies targeting low cost production with earth abundant materials
call synopsis Horizon Europe
Administration
European Commission
Objective
Photovoltaic power generation is pivotal in the transition to a clean energy system and the achievement of the zero-emissions target. To that end, it is important to enhance affordability, security of supply and sustainability of PV technologies along with further efficiency improvements. Consequently, project results are expected to contribute to all of the following outcomes: Demonstrate tandem technologies for efficiencies beyond the single-junction Shockley–Queisser limit (~29%). Increase the potential of tandem technologies with earth abundant materials for mass production at low manufacturing cost. Minimise the impact of PV on landscape and environment by increasing its energy yield/m2. Contribute towards establishing a solid European innovation base and a competitive, continuous and coherent PV value chain.
Eligible Activities
Tandem-junction cell architectures present a path towards higher module efficiencies over singlejunction designs, because of the ability to absorb more efficiently the different wavelength regions of the solar spectrum by means of separate devices (monolithically integrated and bonded/ mechanically stacked). This enables surpassing the limiting efficiency of single-junction Si (~29%), which has neared its theoretical limit. As module costs drop, balance-of-systems costs dominate the cost of PV installations, and gains in efficiency could influence more the overall system costs, the energy yield/m2 and hence the land use or the integration potential of the technology. The aim is to develop tandem cells and modules that will reach efficiencies >30%, offer the same lifetime and degradation rate as standard crystalline panels at only marginally higher cost, creating thus a viable economic pathway for commercialisation of these technologies. The proposal should address all of the following: Develop novel concepts based on earth abundant materials that optimise PV cell and module architecture, increase durability, decrease losses and target very high efficiencies, taking also into consideration specific applications. Employ simple, scalable and low cost processing techniques; deliver proof-of-concept for equipment development to support novel layer deposition. Ensure compliance with the relevant standards at laboratory scale, also considering the specific applications targeted.Perform device/module real –life (under actual outdoor operating conditions) characterisat ion for reliability and energy yield assessment. Perform a life cycle analysis to bring evidence of the lower environmental impact, better resource efficiency than current commercial PV technologies, and circularity potential.

The proposal should also actively engage with European universities in this matter. Special consideration to gender balance issues should also be given. A clear post-project life for such programme should also be addressed. Develop and run an industry-academia programme focused on hands-on training. This programme should identify the required skills needed for the sustainability of renewable technologies, identify and act on knowledge gaps, and identify retraining opportunities based on revamped training curricula and course content. These concerted actions are expected to develop human capital in innovative new technologies through education and training. This topic requires the effective contribution of SSH disciplines and the involvement of SSH experts, institutions as well as the inclusion of relevant SSH expertise, in order to produce meaningful and significant effects enhancing the societal impact of the related research activities.

Market Uptake Measures of renewable energy systems
call synopsis Horizon Europe
Administration
European Commission
Objective
Facilitate the wider uptake of renewable energy systems in the energy, industrial and residential sectors leading to an increased share of renewable energy in the final energy consumption by 2030 and beyond. Contribute to provide a basis for policy-makers and stakeholders for developing more informed RES policy and for analysing about the market dynamics when including all renewable energies. Contribute to the development of markets and respective financial frameworks that can operate efficiently and incentive-compatible while accommodating massive shares of renewables. Increase societal acceptance of renewable energy facilities and installations through science-based evidence and tools addressing misperception phenomena from citizens
Eligible Activities
The proposal is expected to develop solutions addressing at least 2 of the expected outcomes either for the entire renewable energy market or focusing on a specific energy sector, such as electricity, heating, cooling or renewable fuels. Proposals can also address issues within a specific geographical region such as urban and periurban areas. Issues related to acceptance of RES technologies due to cultural heritage landscape particularities can be addressed. Self-consumption issues can be addressed too. International aspects, such as collaboration with third countries and promoting solution in new markets, can be addressed as well. The proposed solution can be developed to address a local challenge but needs to have wide potential for reapplication. The solution should have a long term viability and not be limited to an ad-hoc fix. The methodologies applied may be inspired by successful approaches already tested in other fields or contexts. For all actions, the consortia have to involve and/or engage relevant stakeholders (e.g. businesses, public authorities, civil society organisations) and market actors who are committed to adopting/implementing the results. The complexity of these challenges and of the related market uptake barriers may call for multi-disciplinary approaches, which should include contributions from the social sciences and humanities. Where relevant, regional specificities, socio-economic, gender-related, spatial and environmental aspects will be considered from a life-cycle perspective.

call synopsis Programme
Horizon Europe
Administration
European Commission
Objective
A more consistent and sustained level of coordination and preparedness for supporting researchers at risk at European, national and institutional level; Improved support to researchers at risk through the provision of policy recommendations, as well as advice and assistance on their implementation; A more sustainable and professionalised support network/structure/system for researchers at risk across Europe, facilitating access to funding and networking opportunities, creating level playing field for applicants to European and national R&I programmes, and raising the quality of submitted proposals; More synergies between initiatives supporting researchers at risk funded by EU programmes (such as Horizon Europe and Erasmus+) and national or institutional actors; Increased exposure of researchers at risk to the industry and to the non-academic sector; Greater awareness in Europe and beyond on why researchers are at risk and ways to support them.
Eligible Activities
To build on the results of the Researchers at Risk initiative “InSPIREurope” launched under the MSCA in 2019, further support is envisaged towards national and international organisations working with researchers at risk and aiming to enhance and professionalise their activities. The support action should take into consideration existing work and new challenges for researchers at risk, such as the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic. It should further facilitate and strengthen cooperation and linkages between European, national and institutional initiatives and programmes, increasing awareness on why researchers are at risk, as well as identifying and delivering the best possible solutions. The support action should be aligned with the general objectives of the MSCA, in particular scientific excellence, skills and career development, inter-sectoral mobility, equal opportunities and inclusiveness, attractive working conditions, work/life balance, while fostering open science, innovation and entrepreneurship. It should not duplicate other actions foreseen under Horizon Europe or other EU-funded programmes such as Erasmus+, but rather build synergies between these programmes. The activities carried out under this support action should complement actions in Member States and third countries associated to Horizon Europe.
Eligible Applicants

Objective
Both topics under this call aim to enable PCIs to be implemented within the framework of the deployment of trans-European networks in the energy sector. In particular, the call shall contribute to supporting energy infrastructure PCIs that have significant socioeconomic benefits and ensure greater solidarity among Member States, but which do not receive adequate financing from the market. The European Green Deal has emphasized the key enabling role of energy infrastructure in the transition to a climate neutral economy. Projects supported by this call pursue the goals and objectives of the Green Deal, as well as the Paris Agreement and the 2030 climate and energy targets and long-term decarbonisation objectives. Therefore, financial assistance provided under this call for proposals should maximise its added value towards decarbonisation. The objective of studies and works is to support and contribute to the implementation of PCIs.
Eligible Activities
This topic refers to projects for studies contributing to the implementation of a PCI. Studies in the meaning of CEF-Energy include activities needed to prepare PCI implementation, such as preparatory, mapping, feasibility, evaluation, testing and validation studies, including in the form of software, and any other technical support measure, including prior action to define and develop a PCI and decide on its financing.

Uptake of energy audits recommendations for the energy transition of companies
call synopsis Programme
LIFE Programme
Administration
CINEA
Objective
The key objective of this topic is to increase the uptake of such measures in companies using a holistic approach. In fact, several factors can explain why the implementation of audit recommendations remains insufficient, e.g. the unavailability of human resources to work on energy and their lack of knowledge on how to gather energy-related information and introduce new solutions. When considering investments, obstacles include the uncertainty on actual energy savings that will be achieved, long payback times, difficulty to access to finance (internal or external) and limited public incentives. Moreover, the multiple benefits of energy efficiency are often underestimated, especially by smaller and non-energy-intensive companies.
Eligible Activities
Proposals should implement tailor-made support activities covering the whole process from energy audit to implementation of measures, and potentially beyond, leading to a significant increase in the rate of concrete implementation of audit recommendations. Depending on the readiness level of the targeted companies, proposals may deliver operational support directly to companies as a service, or tailored capacity building and advisory to company staff (both at management and operational level), provided that activities lead to the actual implementation of the recommended measures.
Eligible Applicants
In order to be eligible, the applicants (beneficiaries and affiliated entities) must: be legal entities (public or private bodies); be established in one of the eligible countries, i.e.: - EU Member States (including overseas countries and territories (OCTs)); - non-EU countries: listed EEA countries and countries associated to the LIFE Programme

call synopsis Programme
LIFE Programme
Administration
CINEA
Objective
The topic aims to support actions that develop, conceptualise and deploy new business models and concepts which fully tap the economic value and the wider benefits of integrated services. Integrated services in the sense of the topic are services that combine different energy services, such as energy efficiency, distributed generation and flexibility, and/or which integrate energy services with non-energy benefits. Moreover, the topic targets at services that contribute to the integration of energy sectors and carriers, notably electricity, heating and cooling and mobility, thus helping to overcome the fragmentation of markets and segments. Finally, the topic aims to enhance the cooperation and trust among different services providers and market actors, also across segments that so far do not have common business cases. The focus of the topic is on services involving buildings, i.e. services provided in, for or linked to buildings. These services should include an important element of energy efficiency. Moreover, the use of innovative technologies, as key enablers for the integration of services and sectors, is one important feature of this topic.
Eligible Activities
Actions under this topic are expected to establish and implement service models that enhance the business case of energy efficiency services by integrating elements that increase the value and diversify revenue streams, e.g. by integrating; distributed generation and self-consumption, demand response/ flexibility, including e-mobility; electricity with heating and cooling, including making use of heat storage; aspects of comfort, consumer satisfaction, safety, health, convenience etc.; maintenance and optimisation; aggregation of data and visualisation of energy consumption; technical support, communication and advice to end users

CINEA
Objective
This topic aims at creating or replicating innovative local or regional "integrated home renovation services". Building refurbishment can be particularly cumbersome in private housing and there are many barriers discouraging homeowners from taking the investment decision. Based on good practices and successful models across the EU and in line with the "Renovation Wave" initiative of the "European Green Deal", there is pressing need and value in coordinating actions and make home renovation as simple as possible for homeowners.
Eligible Activities
Actions should clearly focus on the energy performance improvement of existing single or multi-family buildings in the private residential sector. However, actions in "complex buildings" (e.g. coexistence of private and social housing; coexistence of housing and business premises, typically on the ground floor) can also be considered, as long as the main focus is on private non-professional decision makers. The developed services should cover the whole "customer journey" from technical and social diagnosis, technical offer, obtaining permits, finding qualified professionals, contracting of works, structuring and provision of finance (e.g. loans), facilitating access to available subsidies or other support schemes, to the monitoring of works and quality assurance

Addressing building related interventions for vulnerable districts
call synopsis Programme
LIFE Programme
Administration
CINEA
Objective
The topic aims to alleviate energy poverty by addressing the poor energy efficiency of dwellings, as a key risk factor causing energy poverty (the other two being low incomes and high energy expenditure). Buildings are still responsible for 40% of Europe’s total energy consumption, and too many Europeans struggle to afford the energy bills for their poorly insulated dwellings with polluting heating/cooling systems. In accordance with the Clean Energy for All Europeans package, Member States, through their National Energy and Climate Plans and Long-Term Renovation Strategies (LTRS), must identify dwellings of people at risk of energy poverty and develop effective strategies for renovating these as a matter of priority. The Energy Efficiency Directive (2012/27/EU) (EED), as amended by Directive 2018/2002/EU, requires Member States to take into account the need to reduce energy poverty in the context of their energy efficiency obligations. In addition, the revised EPBD requires Member States to target the least efficient building stock first (“worst first” principle), and address split-incentive dilemmas and market failures as part of the national LTRS.
Eligible Activities
Proposed actions should facilitate the market uptake of renovation approaches for the large-scale rollout of building-related interventions for vulnerable districts, clusters of buildings, or groups of such buildings managed through common building management or housing/home-owners associations (e.g. social housing), in line with the Renovation Wave and the Commission Recommendation on Energy Poverty.

European Commission
Objective
As wind turbines grow bigger and taller, the blade tips are increasing more affected by turbulent atmospheric flow features, while airborne wind energy systems operate at even higher altitudes. This zone of the atmosphere currently lays between the current numeric models at the microscale and the mesoscale. Further, the data integration of the models of these different altitudes is still scarce. Thus, there is a need for an improved understanding of atmospheric flow physics, particularly regarding wind power production forecasting and the design of wind energy technology components. It is expected that better predictions of wind patterns should: Support improved wind farm design, location choice, distribution and operation thus bridging the gap between small-scale controlled experiments and full-scale deployment; Enhance system reliability and power production; Decrease economic uncertainties related to farm design and power production, as well as wind technology components design and durability; Lead to the development of numerical models capable of accurately forecasting high wind flow and power production. It will also improve wakes modelling and the integration of models with real condition wind farm data;
Eligible Activities
Develop an open access knowledge hub for experimental data, based on the principles of open data sharing. Develop and validate numeric models to accurately forecast wind flow in low, medium and high altitudes in onshore and offshore scenarios. These models should address how external factors, such as wind conditions, and different climate affect power production and loads on target and neighbouring wind power systems; Integrate these different developments (knowledge hub and forecasting models) into a tool able to be readily absorbed by the sector. This integrated approach need to be applicable to at least 2 of these different wind energy conversion technologies: onshore wind, offshore wind (fixed bottom or floating), and high altitude wind systems;

Enlarge with bandgap tuneable perovskites and corresponding device architectures the integration and application possibilities of PV technology. Increase the potential for commercialisation of perovskite PV, creating a competitive technological know-how for the European PV industrial base.
Eligible Activities
Perovskite PV are welcomed as an emerging technology for solar energy conversion, as today they afford high power conversion efficiency (PCE), higher than 25%. At the same time, perovskite semiconductors are based on abundant and low-cost starting materials and can be processed using simple and economic methods. The tuneable bandgap of the perovskite materials opens a lot of applications in a wide range of optoelectronic devices, even beyond solar cells. To ensure however economic feasibility and competitive levelized cost of electricity, the technology should offer long-term stability alongside high power conversion efficiency to match the reliability of silicon-wafer-based modules (the lifetime expectation for a PV module in a power plant is 20–25 years). At present, the long-term stability of lead halide perovskite modules does not meet this target and improvements are hampered by a lack of understanding of the cell and module failure modes. In addition to the intrinsic cell stability issues of perovskite PV, the usage of lead and scaling-up are the main challenges towards bringing perovskite technologies to the market.

Objective
Reinforce the activities in the long term the AU-EU HLPD CCSE Partnership. Provide knowledge and scientific modelling as evidence base of the water-energy-foodnexus including the environmental, social and economic trade-offs to contribute to R&I strategy and policy making. Increase clean energy generation in the African energy systems. A sustained network of African experts and expertise in this area. Improve in the long-term governance to advance knowledge and scientific modelling of the water energy food nexus including the environmental, social and economic trade-offs (governance aspects should be included since they are under-represented in the current research works).
Eligible Activities
The topic is contributing to the activities of the AU-EU High Level Policy Dialog (HLPD) Climate Change and Sustainable Energy (CCSE) partnership. Climate changes and increase usage of water in all economic activities create more stresses on water use for energy generation. Energy generation covers in this context energy from renewable sources and energy vectors such as electricity, heat and fuels. Therefore the needs for African countries of having their own dedicated models to simulate and estimate the stresses on the water-energy nexus are crucial for their policy decision and energy planning. International agreement and trade issues can be considered in the model. Most of the current models are based on developed country standard and usage. The proposal should then develop and test models for decision makers and planners to implement energy infrastructures and energy supply in Africa which safeguard a systemic approach to the water-energy food nexus. These models can be based on existing reliable source codes and models. The test should be made on the case of an existing African water basin. Participation of societal stakeholders is considered important

Objective
Reusing or inhibiting biogenic effluent gases from biofuel production in the same process, increases the biomass conversion efficiency and sustainability potential and the overall resource and energy efficiency of the biomass utilization. Improving such integration will contribute to increase the biofuel technology competitiveness and acceptance and advance the European leadership and global role in the area of sustainable biofuels. Project results are expected to contribute to all of the following expected outcomes: Increase bioenergy efficiency and sustainability. Increase sustainable biomass resource utilization. Generate negative emissions from biofuel production.
Eligible Activities
Proposals should develop cost-effective solutions to minimize carbon waste in sustainable biofuel production processes by inhibiting biogenic effluent gas emissions or incorporating biological and/or chemical/other capture of the biogenic effluent gas emissions from the process and use it as appropriate either for separate in-situ downstream synthesis of renewable fuels of biological origin, or integrate it in the sustainable biofuel production through recycling. Proposals should also include an innovative approach for biogenic carbon storage, through for example integrating production of biochar and using it as soil amendment to enhance organic carbon content and functionality of soil, as well as a means to sequester carbon into the soil. Synergies with renewable hydrogen production should be developed by incorporating it as appropriate in the sustainable biofuel production to compensate for additional needs in hydrogen, increase overall biomass conversion efficiency, minimize the biogenic carbon waste and reduce the fossil carbon footprint of the biofuel production. The overall GHG emissions should be assessed on the basis of a Life Cycle Analysis for proving negative GHG emissions and higher sustainability potential of biofuel production when reusing biogenic effluent gases in-situ, along with addressing socioeconomic aspects.

Horizon Europe
Administration
European Commission
Objective
Photovoltaic power generation is pivotal in the transition to a clean energy system and the achievement of the zero-emissions target. To that end, it is important to enhance affordability, security of supply and sustainability of PV technologies along with further efficiency improvements. To insure security of supply, retaining the whole value chain in Europe is essential; technology de-risking is a necessary step towards this direction. Consequently, project results are expected to contribute to all of the following outcomes: Promote a considerable pipeline of new and advanced versions of existing technologies from lab to fab production, enabling robust continued performance increase, opening up new applications and facilitating further cost reduction. Reinforce the European PV value chain, support local companies to develop and sell differentiated and high value PV products and create local jobs. Demonstrate the feasibility and cost-competiveness of the novel PV technologies. Contribute towards establishing a solid European innovation base. Enable and facilitate large-scale deployment of PV and generation of renewable electricity. Minimise the impact of PV on landscape and environment by increasing its energy yield/m2.
Eligible Activities
Net-zero scenarios modelled by the JRC[1] show that Europe needs to install up to 600 GW PV generation capacity by 2030 and over 1 TW by 2050 to reach its climate and energy objectives. The European market will grow 10-15% per year and reach close to 80 GW by 2030. In this race, Europe has a unique opportunity to develop and deploy new generation PV modules. A considerable number of new and advanced/innovative technologies is in the pipeline but the concrete application on pilot manufacturing lines is lagging behind. The aim is therefore to advance those technologies that offer the potential for much higher efficiency and/or higher energy yield, the same lifetime and degradation rate and comparable cost to standard crystalline technologies, opening-up possibilities for largescale 4.0 factories to drive down costs, allowing large relocation of production to Europe.

Objective
Increased scale and productivity in the renovation process: demonstrated and quantified decrease of on-site construction / renovation work time (at least 30% and towards 50%). Benchmarked and quantified improvement of insulation and air-tightness compared to standard renovation solutions. Demonstrated improvement of indoor environment and user comfort and satisfaction, as well as accessibility, increasing attractiveness of renovation for buildings owners and users. Improved affordability of sustainable renovation and RES systems in buildings, in particular for households experiencing energy poverty issues. Demonstrated reduction of embodied energy and CO2 of renovation, and emission of air pollutants over the life cycle. Increased deployment of built-in renewable energy generation solutions for on-site multi-purpose (heating, cooling, electricity) renewable energy generation. Increased share of reused and /or recycled and/or biosourced construction materials / products used in building renovation to contribute to circular economy. Faster uptake of EU-wide standards or certification of reused and / or recycled construction materials / products.
Eligible Activities
Develop renovation solutions for a range of needs (from renovations limited in scope to deep renovations) applying predominantly re-used and / or recycled and/or biosourced construction materials / products in a cradle-to-cradle approach, allowing for installation without significantly modifying the structure of the building (or without overloading existing structures) and demonstrating a high replication and industrial potential. Develop multi-functional (passive & active) and scalable renovation solutions to improve energy performance of buildings, applicable to different building types based on prefabricated components and integrated RES systems. Develop building envelope solutions with integral means for combined active/passive management of energy transfer, i.e., integrating RES for active heat and sound insulation and direct on-site renewable electricity generation. Seek to support the integration of local sources of reused components and secondary raw materials in the renovation packages relying, where relevant, on urban mining. Develop novel testing methodologies oriented towards assessing the long-term performance of the elements. This should include the estimation of durability and service life. Model and test in actual scale the materials and components selected.

Objective
Demonstrate renovation pilots in the sense of “lighthouse districts” as announced by the Affordable Housing Initiative in the Renovation Wave communication[1] following a smart neighbourhood approach and providing blueprints for replication, setting liveability and latest technological and social innovations at the forefront; Mobilise cross-sectoral industrial[2] and partnerships at local level to develop, adapt, design new processes, methods and technologies (e.g. energy efficiency, circular, modular building, smart living, eco-design etc.). Special attention should be paid to the needs of residents in social using, through social innovation and using a human centred approach; Following a multi-actor approach, as defined in WP/ Annex X, engaging both, different sectors and fields of operation related to construction such as renewable energy, water treatment, and electronics as well as residents, social and public housing associations and civil society actors will be key to boost tailor-made and fit for purpose innovation; Demonstrate through such partnerships lighthouse districts that allow integrated renovation approaches. Besides technological innovation, specific focus on social innovation is crucial as it can provide social engagement models to empower and engage residents, foster the co-design, codevelopment and co-implementation, offer spatial organisation allowing socio-economic activities and services, improve the wellbeing of citizens, and promote intergenerational and mixed forms of housing and accessible architecture open for cultural and creative innovation. Social innovation may also form a key aspect in developing business models for these types of lighthouse districts; Develop new bottom-up human-centred business models in housing area that facilitate engagement of residents in renovation – for example by co-investing, setting up energy communities, housing cooperatives and resident owned social services and (creative, green, … ) commons; Identify "ready to go projects" for the lighthouse districts as well as “low hanging”[3] fruit in terms of social housing renovation and worst performing buildings to test new methods, practices and technologies. The selected districts/ use cases, the diverse climatic and biogeographic conditions and settlement types in urban, sub-urban and rural areas across the EU are to be well reflected; Support businesses and the private sector in developing demonstration projects that go the extra mile (environmental - social – cultural ambition) and allow innovations and new technologies putting inclusion and social progress at the forefront;

To support a wide implementation of these district renovations, industrial urban symbiosis needs to be fostered amongst most relevant partners engaged in construction and renovation of social housing facilities. The local and regional dimension is important since local energy and utility networks, adjacent industrial infrastructures and available by-products and services in such districts would have to be considered in a holistic and integrated approach. In the same way, logistics should be optimised wherever possible and should be an advantage from the sustainable and competitiveness perspective. Technology based innovations should prove the potential for novel symbiotic renovation projects acting as demonstrators involving multiple industrial sectors (combining non-exhaustively energy, construction, renewables, circular, electronics and creative industries, social housing associations and public authorities) in pilot multi-stakeholder partnerships focussing on a district approach and social needs related to social housing The development of a broader integrated methodology towards renovation of social housing districts starting from a cross-sectoral approach (e.g. INNOSUP) and engagement models of residents to develop the application of technologies that make social housing more energy efficient, accessible and liveable; Research how technologies for housing and renovation can be adapted in a way that serves the needs of residents in social housing at affordable cost as well as how development at scale (e.g. district level of multi-apartment building) might bring cost optimisation and improve the affordability; The adaptation of technology in way it addresses the basic and essential needs of residents rather than to showcase the most advanced application from a technical perspective (human centred, fit for purpose and tailor made); Research on how renovation of social housing districts can deliver a more balanced population in terms of income, age and socio-economic profile as well as to avoid formation of ghetto’s on the one hand and gentrification on the other hand; Aspects of environmental friendly traffic and internet connectivity to facilitate inclusion are to be considered; Energy poverty issues that must be avoided as a result of the renovation. Social innovation and financial planning must ensure that the cost of living will not increase significantly for tenants and residents; Integration of ICT and digital tools, including smart grids, smart living applications, advanced modelling for eco-design and modular construction, to design and establish novel symbiotic interactions, data sharing and preservation of data confidentiality, as a non-exhaustive list;

Volunteering Teams in High Priority Areas
BACK TO INDEX
call synopsis Programme
European Social Fund+
Administration
European Commission
Objective
Volunteering Teams in high priority areas are large scale, high impact projects supporting voluntary activities carried out by young people from at least two different countries coming together to express solidarity by implementing short-term interventions that address common European challenges in policy areas defined each year at EU level. This year’s priority is focused on COVID-19 impact and recovery, particularly through supporting the health and social care systems with activities tackling prevention, promotion and support in the field of health; addressing major health challenges (i.e. life-threatening illnesses like cancer) and promoting health, healthy lifestyle, physical activity and well-being overall. For the purpose of this call, applications for funding could: contribute to the improvement of health and well-being of vulnerable people, including persons affected by chronic or life-threatening diseases (e.g. cancer); contribute to building inclusive societies through protecting vulnerable groups as people with drug-alcohol dependence, elderly and children, migrants, homeless etc. from COVID-19 impact and other diseases
Eligible Activities
Volunteering Teams are solidarity activities that allow groups of minimum 5 participants to volunteer together for a period between 2 weeks and 2 months. Composition of the team should be international (including participants from at least two different countries) with at least a quarter of team members coming from countries that are different from the country where the activity takes place. In volunteering teams, European Solidarity Corps’ volunteers carry out tasks for a project over a short period of time (usually, but not exclusively, during holidays, breaks between study periods, transition from education to work, etc.). Examples of the valuable work that can be accomplished by volunteering teams under this Action include: organising information campaigns, providing critical community services to most vulnerable populations e.g. arranging grocery shopping for elderly, organizing recreational activities for children with cancer, intergenerational workshops on use of online tools for socialising and communicating, supporting vaccination campaigns. In Volunteering Teams, volunteers will carry out the activity in a group. This can be an incentive for youngsters who do not feel ready to embark into challenging experiences on their own; The activity will be shorter in its duration. This can foster the participation of those youngsters who cannot commit for a long period of time because of their studies or jobs, but still want to be of help for the community.
Eligible Applicants
Any organisation legally established in a programme country or a partner country neighbouring the EU that holds a valid volunteering Quality Label or Erasmus+ volunteering accreditation. Participating organisations must hold a valid volunteering Quality Label or Erasmus+ volunteering accreditation at the latest at the start of the activities they are involved in and during the entire duration of the activities.
