Maritime Spatial Planning (MSP) for the North Sea

Closed

Code: 33829 | Identifier Code: EMFAF-2024-PIA-MSP | Programme name: 13524 | Start submission calls: 07/05/2024 | End submission calls: 11/06/2024

The objective of this call for proposals is to facilitate the implementation of Maritime Spatial Planning in the EU, including through the effective application of Directive 2014/89 establishing a framework for MSP.

This call is intended to fund projects developing innovative responses to tackle specific challenges that EU Members tates might encounter when putting into effect, monitoring and/or revising their maritime spatial plans.

Many of these challenges are common to coastal Member States. Therefore, there is a shared interest in developing innovative responses that can apply within a sea basin and/or across sea basins. This means that projects should bring together participants from different Member States, located in a sea basin, or from different sea basins.

To meet these challenges Member States will have to:

• Reflect and align their maritime spatial plans to the ambition of the European Green Deal
• Cater for cumulative impacts of ocean stressors
• Reinforce the sea basin dimension of MSP
• Making MSP digital and pan-European

Code: 33824 | Identifier Code: HORIZON-EUROHPC-JU-2024-DARE-SGA-04-01 | Programme name: 24430 | Start submission calls: 29/05/2024 | End submission calls: 29/08/2024

Expected Outcome:

• European capabilities in designing, developing, and producing IP related to high-end processors and accelerators based on RISC-V.
• A family of energy efficient high-end processors and accelerators for HPC based on RISC-V hardware and chiplet solutions, testbeds, and at least one prototype/pilot integrating these processors/accelerators.
• A vertically integrated software stack, including key elements such as programming models and runtimes (e.g. languages, compilers, programming environments, communication), libraries (e.g. mathematical, data analytics, AI frameworks), tools (e.g. debuggers, performance, system monitoring), operating system components (e.g. schedulers, workflows, software management, firmware, drivers, security), and other elements (e.g. for networking, software deployment, system-level composability and modularity of software, etc.).
• A small set of critical HPC applications ported and optimised for the new RISC-V based environment, based on a co-design approach.

1. The proposal for the 1st phase of DARE will cover the design and development of European processors, accelerators and related technologies for extreme-scale, high-performance big-data, and emerging applications, in accordance with the research roadmap defined in the FPA. The proposal should leverage software/hardware co-design to achieve the next levels of performance and efficiency in RISC-V based HPC. The proposed work should target performance levels, supported by appropriate KPIs, competitive to non-EU solutions by the end of the DARE initiative.
2. The aim of this SGA is to design and deliver energy efficient high-end tape-outs of a general-purpose processor and of two accelerators, an Artificial Intelligence (AI) Accelerator and a Vectorial Accelerator, for HPC based on RISC-V silicon and chiplet solutions with advanced memory interfaces.
3. The proposed action should cover the design, testing and development of the high-end processors and their integration in a pilot system in view of their roll-out, uptake and use in world-class competitive supercomputers.
4. The proposed action should also develop a functional RISC-V software stack, including key elements such as programming models, runtimes, libraries, tools, and operating system components.

The different lines of activity under consideration must be aligned, interact between themselves, and ensure reinforced cooperation and integration that result in continuous enhancements.

The objective is the provision of affordable quality care and social development services for children. This will contribute to increasing women’s participation in the labour market, gender equality, improve employment in general and contribute to increasing the fertility rate, reducing the risk of poverty as well as reducing inequalities.

Digital Humanism – Putting people at the centre of the digital transformation (CSA)

Closed

Code: 33747 | Identifier Code: HORIZON-CL4-2024-HUMAN-03-03 | Programme name: 2939 | Sub-program: Digital, Industry & Space (Cluster 4)(2021-2027) | Start submission calls: 23/04/2024 | End submission calls: 18/09/2024

Digital Humanism is here defined as the continuing search for a European answer to keep up high civilization standards stemming from enlightenment and the humanist era, and to further develop them in the digital world. Such a digital environment should enable all Europeans to make full use of digital and technologies, to have a society where geographical distance matters less, so that all Europeans can benefit from the digitalisation in their daily activities (ranging from work, learning, to enjoying culture or leisure activities) but also in their interactions with governments, and participation in democratic processes.

This requires intense, cross-disciplinary work of computer (and technology) sciences with legal, economic, sociological, philosophical and other kinds of expertise as a co-development exercise.
