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.
If you want more information on our services, please drop a line at call4europe@gmail.com visit us at https://call-for-europe.org subscribe to our newsletter at https://www.call-for-europe.org/newsletter

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

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.

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.

Objective
Advanced disaster / crisis simulations and impact assessments supporting decisionmaking processes based on best available knowledge, adaptive strategies and methodologies, including accurate exposure data and adequate vulnerability assessments, quantitative hazard information with comparable metrics across different risks (especially addressing multi-hazard situations), including disaster loss data and qualitative information issued from historical testimonies and case studies. Risk and resilience assessment solutions, studies and outputs in support of long-term multi-hazard management strategies (e.g. climate adaptation, disaster risk reduction and prevention and mitigation strategies) with a focus on vulnerable regions prone to multiple hazard occurrences, involving interdisciplinary teams in different scientific and technological fields (such as geology, climate, man-made hazards, critical infrastructures and assets, history, health sciences, economics and social sciences). This requires novel interdisciplinary risk approaches to assessing human-hazard interactions, and reaching the most vulnerable segments of the community.

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.

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.

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.

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.

call synopsis Horizon Europe
Administration
European Commission
Objective
Proposal results are expected to contribute to the following expected outcomes: Disruptive spin-based hardware components and devices, with significant progress towards the wafer-scale integration to provide industry compatible solutions for memory, sensing, imaging, communication and computation. First spin-based digital devices (Spin-chips) that demonstrate specific advantages of the approach and exhibit significant decrease in energy consumption. Large-scale complete systems that include next generation spintronics devices with emphasis on compatibility, integration of different materials & technologies including CMOS and photonics.
Eligible Activities
Proposals should focus on interdisciplinary R&D between academic research, RTOs and industry (including SMEs) in order to address at least one of the following medium term challenges in spintronic components and devices: Develop new classes of materials (such as two-dimensional magnetic materials and heterostructures with tailored magnetic ordering, sensitive to different stimuli, e.g., light, electric field, stress etc.), achieving experimentally the largest effects allowed by physics to create new components and devices, including non-conventional ones, beyond the state of the art. Boost utilization of Spin-Charge interconversion for detecting spin currents or manipulating the magnetization of ferromagnets: this is key for ultra-low power operations as well as for a change of paradigm in logic with the goal of cutting down the energy consumption by a factor of 1000, enabling ultra-low energy, autonomous and safe devices towards attojoule electronics. Reach a massive gain in energy and time scales by profiting from collective spin excitations (spin waves, vortices, skyrmions) and their interaction with other waves/quanta carrying angular momentum (e.g., phonons, photons, plasmons or heat waves) for ultra-fast logic and data transfer. Master magnetic noise, stochasticity and chaotic behaviour for improved sensitivity, room temperature operation, and development of new device functionalities that enable new architectures and algorithms for use in a variety of sectors.

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.

Objective
Proposal results are expected to contribute to the following expected outcomes: New generations of photonic integrated circuits and devices Strengthening industrial capability of photonic device fabrication by integration and miniaturisation of technologies Lowering the barrier to the use of advanced or innovative photonic integration technologies for companies, in particular high-tech SMEs Providing European open strategic autonomy in Photonic Integrated Circuits and related manufacturing processing
Eligible Activities
Evolving photonic integration is opening up a wealth of opportunities in many application areas by enhancing functionality and spectral coverage, facilitating new applications in biomedical, environmental and industrial fields, making devices more power-efficient and bringing ground-breaking technologies within reach of entrepreneurial SMEs. The increasingly sophisticated requirements need new paradigms, capable of extending the functionalities of optical components through design, integration, fabrication, assembly and packaging techniques including the co-integration of photonic and electronic components. These need to be augmented with new functions and performance enhancements, requiring in many cases the development of new materials and innovative device structures. Challenges are for example in mastering epitaxial material growth and processing on large wafers with improved quality, uniformity and very low defect densities, broadband (“white”) light sources and high sensitivity photodetectors (including arrays) and highefficiency semiconductor lasers across many wavelength bands, capable of withstanding high temperatures (>85°C) depending on the intended application. Incorporation of new building blocks such as magneto-optic elements for non-reciprocal functionality (e.g. optical isolation) could also be included.

Proposals are expected to contribute to the following outcomes: Advanced AI solutions against advanced disinformation techniques for media professionals. Advanced AI solutions against disinformation for citizens.
Eligible Activities
Advanced AI based solutions for securing a trustworthy online environment. Disinformation techniques are already today strongly AI based. Therefore, scientific researchers and media practitioners need to be equipped with quantitative and semisupervised tools based on AI, and network science driven tools of least same level of sophistication, capable of detecting different forms of deep-fakes and tampered content and to understand how and where such type of content spreads online. The development of such tools require the involvement of a scientific community at the intersection between AI and computer science, mathematics, social network sciences, social sciences and other relevant scientific fields, closely collaborating with journalists and media practitioners, and equipped with the necessary computing power to analyse rich content (e.g. videos and images) and to automate the management, processing and analysis of the flow of information within online systems. Advanced AI based solutions targeted to citizens for securing a trustworthy online environment. The solutions should foster citizens’ ability to identify, verify and combat disinformation through AI innovation. Solutions provided would include the analysis and tracing of various forms of content, correlation/comparison of various sources of information, exploitation of contextual information. Efficient and intuitive mechanisms to convey the information regarding quality/veracity of information should be addressed, as appropriate. Transparency and human oversight would be key, with a view of empowering citizens.

call synopsis Programme
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.

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.

Objective
IntellIoT, a pan-European research and innovation project funded by the European Union as part of the Horizon 2020 programme ICT-56-2020 “Next Generation Internet of Things”, is organizing two Open Calls with the aim to involve startups and SMEs to build applications, services and extensions on the IntellIoT technical framework within special 6-month pilots (for each open call) that will be aligned with IntellIoT’s 3 use cases. The overarching objective of IntellIoT is to develop a reference architecture and framework to enable IoT environments for (semi-)autonomous IoT applications endowed with intelligence that evolves with the human-in-the-loop based on an efficient and reliable IoT/ edge- (computation) and network- (communication) framework that dynamically adapts to changes in the environment and with built-in and assured security, privacy and trust. This reference architecture and framework will be applied in the heterogeneous use cases encompassed in the project, covering agriculture, healthcare and manufacturing smart environments.
Eligible Activities
With the Open Calls, IntellIoT aims to widen the range of new and innovative IoT applications and devices within the framework and specific IoT environments of the use cases. To assure a consistent development of sustainable solutions throughout the use case implementations and upcoming activities, clear integration points with the IntellIoT framework need to be described in the Open Call proposals and realized during their execution. Moreover, it is intended to further develop the use cases already specified by providing additional tools, services, applications or devices. To ensure valuable addition to all use cases as well as the general framework, one proposal per use case and one proposal addressing the general framework will be selected.

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.

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.

Objective
Fusion research encompasses innovation in the domains of physics and technology over a wide variety of specialisations. Fusion researchers are constantly challenging the scientific state-of-the-art and improving the technology thereby creating the conditions for innovation, much of which can be exploited in other science and industrial sectors for the benefit of society. The fundamental basis of the Euratom Programme is the drive and support for innovation across the product development chain from research to market. In this context the researcher plays a critical role. The SOFT Innovation Prize[1] is being offered to highlight and reward excellence in innovation that can be found in fusion research as well as the quality of the researchers and industries involved. Following the success of first four editions of the SOFT Innovation Prize awarded by the Commission under Euratom Research and Training Programme 2014-2020 (in 2014, 2016, 2018 and 2020), the European Commission is holding the contest again in association with the next Symposium on Fusion Technology (SOFT) in 2022.
Eligible Activities
The complete application for the 'SOFT Innovation Prize' should include: a technical description of the innovation a state-of-the-art assessment of the innovation an account, in general terms, of the market potential for the exploitation of the innovation

Objective
Progress towards more and better links between research and innovation actors across European Research Area and beyond is a requirement if Europe as a whole is to capitalise on excellence from across the continent. To foster brain circulation for researchers and innovators the intervention point of the ERA Chairs actions is attracting in a sustainable manner outstanding scientists and innovators to universities or research organisations in catching up countries and regions. This measure of “brain gain” and creation of pockets of excellence will impact on the culture and performance of host institutions. The leadership of the ERA Chair holder and the creation of a permanent and excellent research group in the chosen scientific field will ensure excellence, visibility and better integration in the European Research Area, as well as fostering competitiveness in research funding and promoting institutional reforms aligned with ERA priorities.
Eligible Activities
Research organisations located in widening countries interested in establishing an ERA Chair shall submit a proposal with the prospective ERA Chair holder who should be an outstanding researcher and/or innovator in the chosen scientific domain. The scientific field can be any domain of research and innovation addressed under the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union[1]. The institution in the Widening country shall be the coordinator and can opt between a joint application with the legal entity currently employing the future ERA Chair or submitting a proposal as a single applicant. For the former, partner institutions can be located in any country (including countries outside the EU) except the country of the coordinator and ERA Chair holders can be citizens of any country in the world.

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
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

This requires significant investment from both the public and the private sector. Public finance needs to lead the way, private actors need to provide the scale.
Eligible Activities
Proposals should address the set-up of innovative financing schemes leveraging private finance for sustainable energy investments, with a dedicated focus on energy efficiency. The financial solution should be operational by the end of the action, whereas the related investments may be implemented after project completion. Therefore, proposals should foresee necessary testing and exploitation activities during the action.
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

Integrated Home Renovation Services
call synopsis Programme
LIFE Programme
Administration
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.

Objective
Carbon-neutral fuels can provide breakthrough solutions towards a fossil-free economy responding to longer-term future demands for high energy density carriers in sectors relying on liquid fuels if making their synthesis more efficient and technically sound. This will contribute to advance the European scientific basis, leadership and global role in the area of renewable fuels by moving forward the supra-national actors, and to reinforce the European potential to export European renewable fuel technologies through international collaboration.
Eligible Activities
Proposals will develop hybrid catalytic conversion processes, combining chemical, electrochemical, biological, biochemical and thermochemical catalytic processes to convert renewable energy to carbon-neutral renewable fuels of biological or nonbiological origin (other than hydrogen), and which respond to longer-term future demands for high energy density carriers in sectors relying on liquid fuels. The development and combination of novel catalysts and linked lab-scale components and/or systems which improve significantly the performance regarding conversion efficiency for best atomic economy and specific marginal cost reduction should be addressed. Development of catalysts and/or systems with dual function, e.g. catalyst/sorbent or other, may be included. Combination of at least two different catalysts types into a single multicatalytic material as appropriate should be addressed. Improvements as regards the conversion of a broader variety of molecules from the same feedstock and the broader application of hybrid catalytic systems in up-scaled processes should be examined. Maximizing GHG emissions abatement in the conversion process should be aimed. International cooperation is encouraged. Combination of H2 production by electrolysis and its separate use for catalytic conversion of CO2 is not covered by this topic..

Wind energy in the natural and social environment
call synopsis Horizon Europe
Administration
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;

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: Increase the efficiency and stability and minimise the environmental impact of Perovskite PV. 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.

Proposals will demonstrate cost-effective and innovative biomethane production through thermochemical, biochemical, chemical, electrochemical, biological pathways including sustainable biomass and biogenic wastes gasification, CO2 effluents from anaerobic digestion or fermentation processes combined with renewable hydrogen or water. The biomethane production should be optimized to improve production efficiency, reduce cost, minimize GHG emissions and increase sustainability in a circularity approach for energy and material above conventional technologies of biogas upgrading to biomethane. All demonstrators should be fully and transparently documented, to ensure replicability, up-scaling and to assist future planning decisions. Demonstrating advanced technologies for efficient production at scale of biomethane will contribute to facilitate the market introduction of the biomethane technologies and the substitution of natural gas in the gas grid. This is the basis for penetration of biomethane in the energy and the transport energy systems, in particular for gas consuming sectors. It supports the European Green Deal and climate and energy targets for 2030 and the net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, while supporting the EU goals for energy independence and competitive sustainable growth.

AU-EU Water Energy Food Nexus
call synopsis Horizon Europe
Administration
European Commission
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

Demonstration pilot lines for alternative and innovative PV technologies (Novel c-Si tandem, thin film tandem, bifacial, CPV, etc.)
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. 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.

call synopsis 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;
