EIT Manufacturing fosters innovation within the manufacturing sector by addressing pressing industrial challenges and facilitating a transition towards more resilient, sustainable, and human-centered manufacturing practices. It focuses on leveraging cutting-edge technologies and methodologies to improve operational efficiency, sustainability, and the attractiveness of the manufacturing work environment. The call underscores the importance of advancing manufacturing technology, sustainability, and efficiency to maintain global competitiveness.
With a budget of 11 million euros, any legal entity, regardless of its place of establishment, including legal entities from non-associated third countries or international organisations is eligible to participate (whether it is eligible for funding or not), provided that the conditions laid down in the Horizon Europe Regulation2F10 have been met, along with any other conditions laid down in the specific call topic.
The call will be open between 29th of April until 8th of July.
With a budget up to €700.000 per project, this topic aims to tackle critical industrial challenges identified across five thematic areas: Industrial Metaverse, Renewable Energy, Circular Economy, Net Zero Industry, and AI-Data. Industrial players have highlighted the urgent need for innovative solutions to address the rapidly evolving landscape of manufacturing. As industries push towards digitalization, sustainability, and enhanced operational efficiency, addressing these challenges becomes paramount for maintaining global competitiveness and improve the manufacturing sector.
With up to €1.000.000 per project, this topic invites ambitious projects that align with EIT Manufacturing’s Strategic Objectives on enhancing manufacturing system flexibility and supply chain resilience and reinforcing the attractiveness of the manufacturing work environment through technologies and digitalization, addressing the critical need for a transition in the manufacturing sector. The purpose is twofold: to support Europe’s manufacturing capability in facing global supply chain challenges, and to ensure that the sector advances in harmony with social sustainability goals. Proposals should contribute to the strategic objectives by fostering innovations that either strengthen resilience and resource availability or enhance human-centric manufacturing solutions.
Activity proposals submitted to this call are expected to have a minimum co-funding rate of 30%.
