Summary
Proposals should address at least one of the following two areas.
A. IAM-enabled multifunctional surfaces able to detect and respond to changes in the environment, such as temperature, pH, moisture, microbiological or chemical pollutants, concentration of chemical species in air, gases and liquids, and converting these signals into measurable outputs. Such surfaces should demonstrate high performance in terms of sensitivity, selectivity, response time, durability and cost-effectiveness. Proposals should target applications such as environmental and ecosystems monitoring, as well as health monitoring.
B. The development of enhanced IAM-based sensor demonstrators, that enable miniaturization and integration into application systems e.g. into portable IoT devices, lightweight wearables and wearable systems. These sensors must meet key performance requirements, e.g. compatibility with silicon technology, operation in real conditions with low power consumption, high sensitivity (low limit of detection and/or high signal to noise ratio), high selectivity and fast detection speed.
Detailed Call Description
Stability and resistance to extreme conditions such temperature and humidity should be taken into account. Solutions could also take inspiration from bio-mimicry.
Proposals may contribute to one or both above R&I areas. However the main area addressed must be clearly and unambiguously identified in the proposed project.
Proposals should integrate the value chain and incorporate the relevant manufacturing technologies needed to bring the developed devices towards the market.
Technology must be demonstrated in an industrially relevant environment.
Proposals should include activities aiming at facilitating future exploitation of results.
Consideration of circularity and recyclability, and compliance with the safe and sustainable by design framework should boost the confidence of industry and end-users and enhance the Innovative Advanced Materials ecosystem and uptake.
Where relevant, cooperation with activities funded under the Chips Joint Undertaking, the photonics partnership or other initiatives are encouraged.
Beneficiaries that intend to transfer ownership or grant an exclusive licence must formally notify the granting authority (i.e. DG-CNECT and HaDEA) before the intended transfer or licensing takes place and the granting authority may up to four years after the end of the action object to a transfer of ownership or the exclusive licensing of results.
This topic implements the co-programmed European Partnership Innovative Advanced Materials for the EU (IAM4EU).
