Alternative equipment and processes for advanced manufacturing of PV technologies
Deadline: 16 January 2024
Expected Outcome:
Photovoltaic power generation is pivotal in the transition to a clean energy system and the achievement of a climate-neutral economy. To this end, it is import, to enhance affordability, security of supply and sustainability of PV technologies along with further efficiency improvements. To ensure security of supply, retaining the whole value chain in EU Member States/Associated countries is essential; technology de-risking is a necessary step towards this direction. Consequently, project results are expected to contribute to all the following outcomes:
Scope:
A plan for the exploitation an dissemination of the results should include strong business case and sound exploitation strategy. The exploitation plan should include preliminary plans for scalability, commercialisation and deployment indicating the possible funding sources to be potentially used.
Demonstration of sustainable wave energy farms
Deadline: 16 January 2024
Expected Outcome:
Project results are expected to contribute to all the following expected outcomes :
Scope:
Demonstration of sustainable wave energy pilot farms in full operational conditions for long periods of time is essential to advance this sector. It is the way to bridge the gap from technology development to market development while reducing costs, reducing risks and attracting investors for future commercial projects. The farms should be composed of several devices of the same type.
The wave energy farms have to be connected to the electricity grid. To focus on the technologies with the greatest chances of success, the single wave energy device to be used in the array deployment is expected to be satisfactory demonstrated at full scale, with limited changes to incorporate the learnings. Any change in the wave energy device may be incremental but should not involve fundamental changes to the device design or composition. The innovation component should mainly lie on the pilot farm systems and supporting industrial manufacturing activities that enable a cost-effective and high performance pilot farm.
ATM Excellence science and outreach for virtualisation and cybersecure data-sharing
Deadline: 15 November 2023
Expected outcome:
Project results are expected to contribute to the following outcomes.
Scope : The Digital European Sky vision aims at removing the close coupling of ATM service provision to the ATS systems and operational procedures. The challenge is to propose innovative( or unconventional) ideas that will enable data sharing, foster a more dynamic and resilient airspace management and ATM service provision. The proposed solutions shall aim at rationalising and harmonizing the ATM infrastructure while reducing the defragmentation. Virtualisation solutions should aim at completely decoupling ATM service provision from the physical location of the personnel and equipment, while scaling up and down of system performance in quasi-real time, as and when required.
Manufacturing as a Service: Technologies for customised flexible, decentralised production on demand
Deadline: 07 February 2024
Expected outcome:
Scope :
This topic aims at further developing and integrating the technologies needed for the successful implementation of MaaS (distributed system of production where resources are offered as services) allowing to manufacture “on demand” a large choice of customised products, with high flexibility and short lead time, by using distributed facilities as a service and exploiting unused production capacities. The objective will be achieved through platforms for fast data exchange and seamless, data-driven, standards-based automation of inter-company processes beyond the factory boundaries.
Testing and demonstrating transformative solutions to build resilience towards health risks caused by the effects of climate change
Deadline: 20 September 2023
Expected outcome:
Projects are expected to contribute to all of the following outcomes:
Scope:
This topic relates to the Mission’s objectives to mobilise at least 150 regions in testing the solutions most locally needed to build climate resilience and to deliver at least 75 deep demonstrations of systemic transformations to climate resilience.
The proposals should test and demonstrate solutions that address both the two aspects below, including in the scope at least some of the individual points related to improve prevention and policy-making and at least some points related to improve preparedness of the health system.
Mission Ocean and Waters and Mission A Soil Deal for Europe – Joint demonstration of approaches and solutions to address nutrient pollution in the landscape-river-sea system in the Mediterranean sea basin
Deadline: 20 September 2023
Expected outcome:
This topic contributes to the implementation of the European Green Deal, the Farm to Fork Strategy, the Biodiversity Strategy for 2030, the Bioeconomy Strategy and the EU Action Plan: ‘ Towards Zero Pollution for Air, Water and Soil’. It addresses the Mission ‘ A Soil Deal for Europe’ .
Scope:
Soils are essential for all life-sustaining processes in our planet. If they are healthy and managed sustainably, they provide many benefits to people, nature and climate. Addressing nutrient pollution is crucial to achieve the objectives of Water Framework Directive, in particular in relation to nutrient losses in agriculture.
