Short description

SMART4ALL is a H2020 funded project (Grant Agreement No. 872614) that builds  capacity amongst European stakeholders via the development of  self-sustained, cross-border experiments that transfer knowledge and  technology between academia and industry. It targets Customised Low-Energy Computing (CLEC) for CyberPhysical Systems (CPS) and the Internet of Things (IoT) and combines a set of unique characteristics that join together  under a common vision different cultures, different policies, different  geographical areas and different application domains. The SMART4ALL consortium is led by the University of Peloponnese (Greece) and is  composed of 25 partners from Central, South and Eastern Europe.

The third and last Open Call for Focused Technology Transfer Experiments (FTTE) is now open!

FTTEare short-term (9 months) cross-border experiments between two different entities (industrial or academic) from two different eligible countries.  4 more FTTE proposals that involve technology transfer focusing on Customized Low-Energy Computing (CLEC) for Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) and the Internet of Things (IoT) will be funded with up to 80,000 € (lump sum) each.

Areas of application/ Domains:

  •  Digitized agriculture
  •  Digitized transport
  •  Digitized environment
  •  Digitized everything

One partner (industrial or academic) from one eligible country transfers a particular novel hardware or software technology in the domain of Customized Low-Energy Computing (CLEC) for Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) and the Internet of Things (IoT) to a receiving industry partner (SME or Slightly Bigger Company) from a different eligible country.  (see the section Guides & Documents).

Who can Apply?

The SMART4ALL cross border Experiments have to be proposed by a Consortium including the following type of applicants:

  • Universities and other Academic Institutions.
  • SME and Slightly Bigger Companies, as defined in the EU recommendation 2003/361. Slightly Bigger Companies are defined respectively as organisations with a staff headcount below 500 employees and a turnover below €100M.

Proposals can be submitted by any of the aforementioned type of entities, but the participation of, at least, one SME/Slightly Bigger Company is compulsory and should be the lead of the cross-border experiment. All consortia have to have at least one entity from a SEE country.

Prioritised Countries 

Additionally, since one of the goals of SMART4ALL is to support the digital transformation in mainly European countries  underrepresented in European funding schemes, by means of cross-border  experiments, consortia including at least one member from one of the SEE  countries (except Greece) or Ukraine will be prioritised:

  • Albania 
  • Moldova
  • Montenegro
  • North Macedonia
  • Romania
  • Slovakia
  • Slovenia
  • Serbia
  • Bosnia and Herzegovina
  • Bulgaria
  • Croatia
  • Hungary
  • Kosovo
  • Ukraine
 

Financial support

The FTTE partners will apply for financial support by submitting one joint proposal describing the FTTE and its technical plan and a detailed estimation of the FTTE-related costs.

Financial support per FTTE

  • The FTTE experiments will be supported with a lump sum of up to EUR 80,000 each to cover staff, travel and equipment needed for implementing the experiment.

Financial support per FTTE partner

  • Every FTTE partner can receive a maximum financial support of  EUR 60,000.

Deadline:

October 15th, 2022 at 17:00 CEST.
