Summary
Projects are expected to reduce the dependence on critical technologies and capabilities for future space applications. To develop or regain in the mid-term the European capacity to operate independently in space as well as to enhance the technical capabilities and overall competitiveness of European space industry vendors on the worldwide market. Overall, to improve the European space technology landscape and complement and/or create synergy with activities of European and national programmes either in the space or non-space fields.
Detailed Call Description
Research and innovation to mature critical space technologies shall be implemented in 2021 for the following technology areas:
- [JTF-2021/23-10] – RF components
- [JTF-2021/23-13] – Passive & RF Passive components
- [JTF-2021/23-14] – A – Discrete power devices
- [JTF-2021/23-17] – Very high energy ion accelerators for component, shielding and radiobiology characterization
- [JTF-2021/23-22] – D – Replacement solutions for metallic lead (Pb)
Activities should be complementary and create synergies with other European activities in the same domain either in the space or non-space fields. Technological spin in and/or bilateral collaborations should be enhanced between European non-space and space industries, including technology research institutes and academia. An assessment of commercial viability of the supply chain should be done. Identification of critical dependencies and, if applicable, a business plan for commercialization, including time to market indication, of the developed product and/or full range of recurring products should be included.
To achieve the non-dependence objective, applicants must
- Describe the technologies and/or technology processes to be used and show that they are free of any legal export restrictions or limitations, such as those established in the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), Export Administration regulation (EAR) such as EAR99 or equivalent instruments applicable in other jurisdictions;
- Set up a suitable technology development process aiming at avoiding export restrictions of non-EU states and assess vulnerabilities of the supply chain.
Unless otherwise agreed with the granting authority, beneficiaries must ensure that none of the entities that participate as affiliated entities, associated partners or subcontractors are established in countries which are not eligible countries or target countries set out in the call conditions.

Eligibility For Participation Notes
Participation is limited to legal entities established in Member States, Iceland, Norway and the United Kingdom and to International European Research Organisations.
The eligibility of entities established in the UK to participate is conditional upon reciprocity of access to equivalent UK programmes for entities established in Member States, which will be assessed by the Commission as soon as such programmes are established and in any event before the signature of the grant agreements. Should the UK not open the participation in its relevant programmes to entities established in Member States, this condition would not be met and entities established in the UK will not be eligible to participate in this topic.
