Summary
The scope covers the support to SESAR performance related activities, architecture activities (i.e., architecture modelling framework and support) and performance activities.
Regarding the performance dimension, the SESAR performance management process steers the overall R&I work, with reference to the SESAR performance ambitions and associated benefits specified in the European ATM Master Plan. It is based on the application of the baselined SESAR performance framework (SPF). The SESAR performance management process reconciles and maps the performance assessments and results delivered by the R&I projects with the SESAR Master Plan performance ambitions. It also ensures aggregating these results through the simulation of the relevant SESAR Solutions with the objective of delivering an ECAC-wide performance view, consolidation of performance results of on-going development activities, etc.).
Detailed Call Description
The activities to be performed under the leadership of the SESAR 3 JU will focus on the following areas:
- Maintenance of performance framework:
- Maintain reference performance methodologies (human performance assessment methodology, security assessment methodology and the security reference materials, environmental impact assessment methodology, safety assessment methodology, etc.) and performance framework (e.g., U-space performance framework, digitalisation, automation levels, passenger experience, etc.) following e.g., the update of the ATM Master Plan, Single European Sky (SES) reference period (RP), needs expressed by SESAR solutions or observed during the execution of R&I activities, etc. (upon the explicit request of the SESAR 3 JU).
- Review and consolidation of SESAR templates and assessment criteria (either for deliverable assessment and/or for maturity gate).
- If required, support and coach R&I project staff to ensure the correct application of the performance methodologies (e.g., safety, human performance, (cyber)security, environment) and the performance framework.
- Support, as the performance expert(s) point of contact, within each SESAR JU programme management team in particular through monitoring and consolidation of each SESAR Solution performance workflow stage(s), in preparation for robust validation plans and validation reports.
- At the request of the SESAR 3 JU, contribute to solutions maturity gates to confirm that a robust performance approach based on the methodology has been applied by the projects.
- Support to performance assessment and consolidation of network impact assessment:
- Monitor proper implementation of SESAR performance workflow, from stage 1 in consolidation and agreement on expected performance contributions (EPC) up to stage 4 on performance result consolidation including extrapolation at ECAC level.
- Capture and aggregate the performance assessments delivered (for completed SESAR solutions) and the expected performance contributions (for SESAR solutions in progress) by R&I projects, delivering a yearly programme performance report in support to the yearly ATM Master Plan strategic development monitoring report, and a final PAGAR (i.e. full PAGAR campaign) at the end of the action.
- Network impact assessment: run integrated simulation on multiple SESAR Solutions, for consolidating a yearly programme performance report, assess trade-offs between key performance areas (KPAs) / key performance indicators (KPIs).
- Support to SESAR 3 JU on monitoring the progress of the R&I programme on environmental sustainability, digitalisation, etc.

Eligibility For Participation Notes
A number of non-EU/non-Associated Countries that are not automatically eligible for funding have made specific provisions for making funding available for their participants in Horizon Europe projects.
Beneficiaries will be subject to the following additional dissemination obligations:
- beneficiaries must make proactive efforts to share, on a royalty-freebasis, in a timely manner and as appropriate, all relevant results with the other grants awarded under the same call;
- beneficiaries must acknowledge these obligations and incorporate them into the proposal, outlining the efforts they will make to meet them, and into Annex I to the grant agreement.
Beneficiaries will be subject to the following additional exploitation obligations:
- beneficiaries must make available for reuse under fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory conditions all relevant results generated, through a well-defined mechanism using a trusted repository;
- if the purpose of the specific identified measures to exploit the results of the action is related to standardisation, beneficiaries must grant a non-exclusive licence to the results royalty-free;
- if working on linked actions, beneficiaries must ensure mutual access to the background to and to the results of ongoing and closed linked actions, should this be necessary to implement tasks under the linked actions or to exploit results generated by the linked actions as defined in the conditions laid down in the biannual work programme and in the call for proposals.
Beneficiaries must acknowledge these obligations and incorporate them into the proposal, outlining the efforts they will make to meet them.
