Summary
Pan-European research and technology infrastructures, as providers of advanced services and procurers of cutting-edge technologies, have an innovation potential related to the development of components, instruments, services and knowledge that could be better exploited to push the edge of existing technologies and lead to their deployment for socially useful or market-oriented purposes. The aim of the action is to explore how to fully utilise and build on the experience and knowledge of existing or previous relevant initiatives at pan-European and, where appropriate national or sub-national level, that have exploited the ecosystem-building potential of interactions with industry during the construction, operation and upgrading of research infrastructures.
Detailed Call Description
The proposal should pilot the possibility to seed the development of innovation ecosystems around diverse technological areas related to pan-European research and technology infrastructures by providing grants to pilot projects in three to five different technological areas. The proposals should:
- identify deep tech opportunities related to pan-European research infrastructures with breakthrough potential;
- assess the feasibility and scalability of the identified opportunities;
- suggest a selection and clustering of those opportunities and nascent ecosystems that demonstrate sufficient maturity to provide a clear potential for industrial implementation;
- identify those opportunities with strongest potential towards industrial application with societal or market value;
- run and evaluate calls to provide grant funding to pilot projects in the identified technological areas;
- assess the outcome of the pilot grants.
