Attosekundforskning vid Lunds universitet
Attosekundforskning vid Lunds universitet

The work programme for European Innovation Council 2022 has finally been launched!

EIC aim to support from early stage cutting edge research to the scale-up of genuinely innovative SMEs. The work programme contains the calls for 2022 and the main structure remains since the last year with the paths of Pathfinder, Transition and Accelerator. Pathfinder and Transition are open for researchers but Accelerator is dedicated to start-ups and SMEs. See an overview of the EIC programme.

The EIC Pathfinder programme aim to fund research to achieve proof of principle and validate the scientific basis of breakthrough technologies, early stage development of future technologies (TRL 1-4). It supports the exploration of bold ideas for radically new technologies. It welcomes the high risk / high gain and interdisciplinary cutting edge science collaborations that underpin technological breakthroughs.

The EIC Pathfinder Open grant is up to EUR 3 million with deadline 3 May 2022 (link to call in EU F&T portal).

The EIC Pathfinder Challenge grant is up to EUR 4 million, deadline 19 Oct 2022 (not opened yet, call text in EIC Work programme). The Challenges for 2022 are: 1) Carbon dioxide and nitrogen management and valorisation; 2) Mid to long term and systems integrated energy storage; 3) Cardiogenomics; 4) Towards the Healthcare Continuum: technologies to support a radical shift from episodic to continuous healthcare; 5) DNA-based digital data storage; 6) Alternative approaches to Quantum Information Processing, Communication, and Sensing.

The EIC Transition programme fund projects which aim to validate and demonstrate technology in applied-relevant environment and develop market readiness (TRL 6-8). This funding is dedicated to results that have been produced in EIC Pathfinder, FET or ERC-PoC projects.

The EIC Transition Open grant is up to EUR 2.5 million, deadline 4 May and 28 Sept. 2022 (link to EIC Transition Open call in EU F&T portal).

The EIC Transition Challenge grant is up to EUR 2.5 million, deadline 4 May and 28 Sept. 2022 (link to Challenge calls in EU F&T portal). The Challenges for 2022 are: 1) Green digital devices for the future; 2) Process and system integration of clean energy technologies; 3) RNA-based therapies and diagnostics for complex or rare genetic diseases.

The work programme with all information regarding all the calls during 2022 can be found here.

Two examples of local planning grants

If you plan to coordinate a collaborative EIC Pathfinder proposal, please note that you now also can apply for the planning grant from Region Skåne.

At Lund University there is an internal planning grant for coordinators of collaborative EU-proposals, please contact Karin Langborger at Research Services: karin.langborger@fs.lu.se.

The Scots set aside money for research collaboration with Europe

Skottlands flagga

The Scottish Government has set aside £ 3 million for a range of funding mechanisms, all of which will stimulate collaboration between Scottish researchers and researchers from the rest of Europe. This is funding for research collaboration, networking, fellowships, etc. that can be done with or without a link to Horizon Europe activity.

The instruments will be implemented by RSE (Scottish Academy of Sciences), and SFC (Scotland’s leading research funder).

This is good info for researchers who already have good links with Scotland. If anyone wants a link to Scotland contact Rickard Eksten for info.

Royal Society of Edinburgh – detailed info about five calls

Scottish Funding Council – detailed info about one call

The UK formally associates to Horizon Europe

Flag of the United Kingdom
Flag of the United Kingdom

Following the approval of the EU-UK trade and cooperation agreement by the European Parliament on 28 April, the United Kingdom is now formally associated as a third county to:

  • Horizon Europe, the European Framework Programme for Research and Innovation;
  • Euratom, which supports nuclear research and training activities;
  • Union Space programme.

This association will apply retroactively from 1 January 2021. In practice, this means that researchers at Lund can continue to collaborate with their British partners as usual on proposals to the above programmes (though there will be exceptions for certain calls).

More information is available through the European Parliament’s press release -europarl.europa.eu

If you would like to discuss specific plans for collaboration on Horizon Europe proposals with British partners, please feel free to contact John Phillips (john.phillips@fs.lu.se) at Research Services.
