Co-designing Extreme Scale Demonstrators

Posted on by Haptic

Specific Challenge: To demonstrate in operational environments the successful integration of technology building blocks developed in previous R&I actions into world-class Extreme Scale Demonstrators. The challenges of power efficiency, resiliency and scalability of these systems require a strong co-design approach driven by ambitious applications involving technology suppliers, system integrators, supercomputing infrastructure providers and user communities, Read more about Co-designing Extreme Scale Demonstrators[…]

Cognitive Mechatronics – EU funds between €5 million and €10 million

Posted on by Haptic

Specific Challenge: Autonomy in robotic systems is built on a combination of four core technologies: AI and Cognition: AI provides tools to make systems cognitive. Cognition equips robots with the ability to interact with people and environments, to learn and to categorise, to make decisions and to derive knowledge. Cognitive Mechatronics: Mechatronic systems where sensing and actuation Read more about Cognitive Mechatronics – EU funds between €5 million and €10 million[…]

Innovative applications of drones for ensuring safety in transport

Posted on by Haptic

Specific Challenge: The drone market is the fastest growing in aerospace, generating high-skilled jobs and enabling innovative services, both in the public sector at large (safety, security, environment monitoring, …) and in the private sector (farming, infrastructure, delivery, inspection, broadcasting, leisure, …), not only by large companies but also by many SMEs including start-ups. More Read more about Innovative applications of drones for ensuring safety in transport[…]

Materials, manufacturing processes and devices for organic and large area electronics

Posted on by Haptic

Specific Challenge: Europe is a leader in the development of materials for organic and large area electronics (OLAE) but the materials still need to be improved to maintain this position. In addition, there have been attempts to combine dissimilar manufacturing technologies in order to achieve seamless integration of the new technology into traditional products at Read more about Materials, manufacturing processes and devices for organic and large area electronics[…]

Adopting materials modelling to challenges in manufacturing processes

Posted on by Haptic

Specific Challenge: Improved decision making for materials producers and product manufacturers needs an environment that gives fast access to information and thereby allows reacting to changing feedstock, markets and regulatory demands. This would need an open translation environment that translates a specific manufacturing challenge into a materials modelling workflow that provides knowledge to support optimal Read more about Adopting materials modelling to challenges in manufacturing processes[…]

Smart and healthy living at home

Posted on by Haptic

Specific Challenge: Citizens in a rapidly ageing European population are at greater risk of cognitive impairment, frailty and multiple chronic health conditions with considerable negative consequences for their independence, quality of life and for the sustainability of health and care systems. The challenge is to foster large-scale deployment of integrated digital solutions which will bring Read more about Smart and healthy living at home[…]

Innovative solutions for inclusive and sustainable urban environments

Posted on by Haptic

Specific Challenge: The increasing percentage of people living in urban areas and the impact of digital technologies on public services make good governance, inclusive policies, smart planning and social and environmental sustainability ever more important for ensuring the quality of human life. Urban environments and agglomeration effects provide an ecosystem for economic growth and innovation. Read more about Innovative solutions for inclusive and sustainable urban environments[…]

Stimulate the innovation potential of SMEs

Posted on by Haptic

Specific Challenge: Providing an effective mechanism for inclusion of innovative, agile SMEs in a landscape characterised by strong presence of public pan-European e-infrastructures (in particular the European Data Infrastructure – EDI) that make it difficult for small actors to enter the market and exploit new business opportunities. Scope: Proposals are expected to propose an outreach Read more about Stimulate the innovation potential of SMEs[…]
