Horizon Europe info-days - Cluster 4: Welcome and Destination 2

good morning to everybody a warm welcome here from brussels a welcome to our info day thin for day deals now with the topics under the work program 2022 it concerns the cluster digital industry and space we have foreseen three days three days of intensive discussions we hope we get many questions questions can be asked via slido and the slider function will be shown in each session but just to say it now it's hashtag cl4 in for day but we will show it at every session at the beginning we have now a horizontal introduction and i'm happy to welcome the directors and who will speak in the following order it will be first peter drell from tg research innovation afterwards it will be willa engelmann from tg grow thereafter t-book liner and at the end it will be guillaume de la boss from dg defus so a warm welcome to you all and i'm very happy now to hand over to peter drell peter please thank you so much jurgen good morning to all i would ask a host to allow me to open my video so that you can also see me i hope you can hear me we can hear you okay so while yes hello good morning to all and thank you again for for opening these information days an important moment for all of us important investments ahead um we've heard about the overall context when we agreed on the key strategic orientations these have not changed so sustainable circular economy strategic opening autonomy restoring the environment and democracy and inclusion these are the key orientations which remain valid in the impact we want to achieve with the investments under the cluster digital industry and space so one important point is what we had published um earlier this year remains valid so you don't have to um be concerned about possible changes and i'm very grateful to all the colleagues here in my team in teacher research innovation for the presentations they will make today tomorrow and the day after and to be very clear if we are not able to answer one of your questions because that is the most important objective that you raise all the questions which arise then we will come back to you afterwards so overall political context has not changed the investment for 2022 have not changed there is i think only a confirmation of the political ambition and the urgency to act when you look at the core titles twin transition for instance or resilience this is more relevant than ever and also recently confirmed with what we will do with the horizon missions um which we have launched launched month and which will be relevant for the way we do science we engage with other programs we develop synergies um under the new european research area which was also actually last week on friday 26 agreed by member states with large consensus regarding and full support regarding this pact for research and innovation under the new european research area which visits for instance its roadmaps for technology for instance on low carbon or its policy on knowledge valuation has a direct relevance for our investments under the clustered digital industry in space so lots of interesting investment opportunities had opportunities to engage across europe and here is important that from now on you can benefit from the hop on hop off scheme so the hop on scheme we have four widening countries um for consortium which have already been formed but don't include a partner from these widening countries an additional opportunity which is there and um to have a brief outlook of next year 2022 under the french presidency i can already announce that we will celebrate the research and innovation days early june and the intec conference under french presidency and from end end of june 27th to 29th of june in grenoble so more opportunities to to come together and with that i hand over to my dear co-chair and i think that's uh oola engelmann now who's speaking thank you and have good discussions good questions good exchanges good cooperation thank you very much peter and also for me if they could allow me to switch on the camera that would be good so it's nicer to be seen thank you very much so good morning uh to all and um i'm as i said i'm representing here dg grow and i would want to put in context that uh cca may the european commission updated its industrial strategy and the update laser ground on how eu industrial ecosystems on an operational level can lead the green and digital transition while strengthening our global competitiveness and open strategic economic autonomy so the pandemic has emphasized the need to reinforce our single market the need to address our strategic dependencies and also the need to accelerate the green and digital transition while fostering our resilience so that's to meet our new increasingly ambitious targets of 55 emissions reductions by 2030 and with a recovery we now have the opportunity and need to accelerate with a twin transition this summer the commission adopted its fit for 55 package research on innovation will play determining roles in achieving this fit for 55 goals for decoration and the goals of digitization in the fit for the digital age strategy and in this context the cluster four for rice neo is particularly important firstly there is a renewed momentum around tackling our dependence on certain raw materials you all have seen the short supply chain shortages raw materials are key enablers for a range of sectors and are essential prerequisites for the development of strategic sectors such as renewable energy electric mobility defence and aerospace and digital technologies at the same time the demand for raw materials is set to grow and the proposed topics under destination 2 mirrors the commission's commitments for the critical raw material action plan to address research on waste processing advanced materials substitution earth observation and remote sensing exploitation and processing of critical raw materials to reduce environmental impacts and secondly and our activities have a key role to play in supporting industry on the path towards climate neutrality by 2050. this is in line with ambitions for our recovery energy intensive industries are at the core of many industrial value chains and are large greenhouse gas emitters here i would draw your attention in particular to the topics under the clean steel and process for planet partnership these partnerships are also reflection of the cooperative approach we have employed working not only for industry but with industry and finally we recognize that the transition to a greener and more digital economy can only be achieved through a holistic approach involving both the development of innovative digital and industrial technologies and innovations or transformation in a variety of areas covering new business models infrastructures policies regulation and so on and here i would like to draw the attention to the activities supporting the transition of smes towards sustainability this is also the spirit behind the new european bauhaus initiative which involves a collective effort to imagine and build a future that is sustainable inclusive and beautiful and to improve the quality of our living experience this is why we have proposed topic on demonstrating innovative practices for renovation in social and affordable housing districts under destination 2 and a new way to build under destination one which apply this approach to improve design and construction processes as well as focus on social and affordable housing the intro days are an important part of our efforts to make sure that the right projects fit in the right topics and that all potential applicants are fully informed and best prepared for the application i want to thank you for your active participation during the next two days you are key in helping us making horizon europe a success and with this i give the floor to my colleague from connect this floor is yours many thanks and peter i don't know if you can also see me now so tibo kleiner the director in dg connect following horizon europe and i wanted to basically follow from what my colleagues were saying you see that cluster four is quite an ambitious one and also one that covers some ground and so stay tuned and it's really a good opportunity for you to learn more about the the cluster for this program and of course as we have seen and as today also is another example the the pandemic as is an accelerator for the digital transformation already before we had a lot that we had to care about and to develop in terms of technologies but now even more it's a make or break as our president uh fonder lion was explaining we have to basically get the technology because there is a race outside and it's not enough that we set the rules of the game through our legislation we need also in terms of research and technology development to really realize our full potential in fact if you look at europe we have a lot of assets in the digital field in digital technologies but i think cluster 4 in this program now is really a key to put our efforts in the european perspective and to join forces so that we can reach really some of the tech sovereignty that we need in order to strive through the aftermath of the the kovid crisis and in a way that's a bit what the the commission has put forward uh in a series of initiatives recently we call this the digital decade essentially so that the next 10 years should be for europe the opportunity for digital transformation and leadership in technology and we have now a tool that we put forward in terms of a governance instrument we have a compass the digital compass for 2030 that shows the way forward and what we want to reach in terms of targets so have a look at this because it could be beneficial when you you apply also for horizon europe if you can refer to these targets and show that your proposals fit into this perspective you will certainly make even a better impact in fact yes we want to care about skills about digital infrastructures about digital transformation of businesses and about digital modernization of public services all these areas are reflected in cluster form and cluster four really we hope will direct investments to strategic research and innovation activities in key parts of the digital supply chain as well as in emerging enabling technologies so it's a full menu really you have across the six destinations of our cluster and we really expect that you know your perspective is really not only of excellence but also about building ecosystems about making sure that research and innovation has joined up so that the eu is not only developing here and there are a few elements but really developing a whole new agenda for this research and you can see it from low power components and semiconductors in the program to advance computing systems but also future networks age computings and very importantly the data technologies that are a bit part together with trusted artificial intelligence so really i would invite you during this now two three days to look at the wealth of opportunities in the various rni and innovation actions but also try to look at the impact that your research can bring and make sure that each time you look at how one topic is actually part of a bigger narrative of a bigger picture and don't forget that what we have here is also linked very much to activities in joint undertakings these are really important for the digital part of horizon europe euro hpc on high performance computing key digital technologies for you know the success of excel for all that is a component and micro electronics smart networks and services for watches what is beyond 5g and internet of things so these are also important elements to build the ecosystems and all this will leverage julia activities in all these domains so really the stakes are high and we count on you not only to participate in this cluster for but also to make sure that your research your innovation can make a difference for all of us so with this i would like to pass the floor to the last of our coaches now guillaume de la bros from dg davis thank you very much tibo good morning everybody i'm delighted as well to uh to be with you this morning um i am replacing catherine cavada director in dg davis uh she had a commitment this morning i am guillaume de la bros the head of unit in charge of horizon europe focusing on the on the space destination i would like to very much echo what was said um by my my predecessors and and not to be the fact that um indeed uh focusing a bit on the space destination what we see outside europe is a global race uh with uh on this on one side space as a booming sector but on the other side many emerging players entering into a fierce competition so i think indeed um we have with the horizon europe um cluster four a very strong asset to ensure that europe will remain in the race when it comes to certain technologies and certain ecosystems space is one of them and we really want to push this agenda forward we will have for 2021 2022 quite limited budget compared to our initial ambition but still what we want to achieve is really making best use of that budget to ensure that we are meeting uh our objectives um and and here i'd like to to dwell a bit on on five key messages one is we want to uh to very much comply with the 2016 space strategy which calls for the need to make the meet to to make the eu space sector even more competitive globally and which calls for an increased autonomy and that's why you will find in the topics for 2122 topics related to telecom earth observation satellites and reusability of launches second we have adopted the eu space program with focus on those four space components galileo agnes copernicus sst and angov satcom and we very much want to use the space research and innovation agenda to contribute to the evolution of the infrastructures the assets uh the services and and the innovative applications and you will find for instance for egnos for copernicus uh and um for um satcom the the topics related to the evolution of the infrastructure the services and the development of innovative applications third points we very much want to prepare the future um as i said it's it's quite very it's very important that that with this rni investment we're able to prepare the future of the space ecosystem and that's why you will find in the the work program um topics related to quantum and topics related to long-term um new space ecosystem like new space transportation solutions fourth point is the need to stimulate the space ecosystem access to finance remains a big challenge as you all know and that's why we are now setting up a brand new action to support the space ecosystem which is called cassini and as part of cassini different actions some of them are related to research and you will find topics related to this uh cassini initiative as part of the of the the different topics that are now published a very final award that's my last point um a change compared to age 2020 is about open strategic autonomy uh this was mentioned by uh by peter what's behind it is while the eur european union will always favor international cooperation at the same time this cooperation needs to comply uh with reciprocity with the guarantee um that ipr will be protected and with fairness and that's why we have now a few topics that are related to open strategic autonomy and my team will uh will explain to you in greater details how that will be translated into the different topics um i remain and my team would remain available in case you have any questions uh i very much echo will say that you need to really make best use of those two and a half days that you will have with our teams to go through the different topics and through the presentations we are making uh to ensure that you will be in the best position to apply for the different topics thank you very much thank you thank you to all the other speakers before who were available and were kind enough to give you the political context um i would like now to give the floor to matthew de la cruz who will give us a general introduction which is a challenge across this huge program and i see that material is getting ready so let me just recap now afterwards we will immediately start into the detailed discussions on the various topics so we'll be there after destination two mainly focus on advanced materials in the afternoon it will be destination one tomorrow you will have a session where you will focus on raw materials and i think on a tuesday afternoon it will be space and on wednesday you will have data emerging technologies and human-centric innovations in industrial and digital technologies and they will also have a specific horizontal session on synergies so just to set a bitzy order so it will be a long program but now without further ado over to you mature and thanks for giving us an overview questions please we'll be taking later on in the individual questions not now matthew over to you thank you again thank you good morning everyone i am matthew de la cruz the deputy head of of the unit in charge of research strategy and program coordination at tg connects in the european commission our unit is coordinating the preparation of the horizon europe work program as regards the digital part of this cluster but i will present you the overall structure of the work program together i would like to ask for my colleagues to introduce the slides i will start briefly by a general overview of the structure of the work program 2122. you may know it already from from the first school but it's good also to repeat and for those who have not followed the first call maybe to to have a better understanding of how this is structured but then of course in each session in over the two days two or three days you will have the the you will dive into the the topics with with the colleagues and the experts in charge so first of all on the second slide please um a quick look at the the schedule of the three days that jurgen has just mentioned after this general introduction uh we'll have a first the destination two with a number of topics on around the materials area and then in the afternoon of today we'll have uh destination one and the topics around the manufacturing technologies for manufacturing greener manufacturing more digital manufacturing on the next slide in day two you will have first two areas in destination two around the resilience of businesses and smes and around raw materials and in the afternoon tomorrow a half day dedicated to the space topics in destination 5. and the third day will be around the digital elements of this cluster with data technologies in the morning destination 3 called world leading data and computing technologies and then the graphene topics which will happen uh next year and then finally a general uh a cross-cutting session at noon on wednesday on the synergies with other programs so now let's go to uh the work program itself oh no no sorry i missed i missed the the third day sorry in the afternoon there will be a big a big load of topics around digital so in the afternoon on wednesday you will get uh the ultra low power processor 6g and and some topics in emerging technologies then in the afternoon you will continue with ai and data in robotics but also some microelectronics and photonics topics and in the late afternoon uh the topics related to ai based on trust internet of trust and extended reality in destination 6 on human centered and ethical development of the digital and industrial technologies so that's that completes now the the three days as you see a very very long program a lot of topics to get more familiar with and then in the next slide i will start talking more about the work program but again reminding as some of the co-chairs did earlier reminding you of the overall policy context and the important policy documents that you should probably get acquainted with to to put your proposals and the projects into also the more global policy context and what we want to achieve so you see the main ones related to this cluster on this slide the european space strategy the action plan on critical and raw materials the circular economy action plan and as as far as digital is concerned the digital decayed digital target for 2030 so there is a communication in march this year followed by a policy program adopted in in september with a cooperation governance between the member states for achieving those targets and clearly as the bookliner said this cluster will contribute a lot in terms of the technology developments which are needed for all these policy ambitions to be achieved in the next years on the next slide also just to to remind the the vision of this cluster we we want to develop competitive technologies which are respecting the boundaries of our planet and reflecting the human needs so what we we want is to develop the technologies which are there for the to make our economy climate neutral more circular and a cleaner industry we want to develop the technologies for the digital transformation that we we want to shape and and master and not be dependent on others and we want also enhanced autonomy space technologies while keeping always all these technologies to the service of the the humans of the society and not only for the the sake of those developments before getting in the work program itself on the next slide it is important to remember how the destinations and the topics are linked to the policy priorities you see here that the the strategic plan 2124 which was adopted earlier this year includes several key strategic orientations and impact areas which are also translated into more granular expected impacts for each cluster this is these expected impacts and the the strategic orientations are what we want to achieve and and this is important in this program in horizon europe this is meant to be a an impact-oriented impact-driven program so we we are developing technologies to the service of certain goals certain objectives of our society and the technology should not be only obeying to certain internal logic and internal developments but really always keep an eye and keep in mind what we want to achieve and that's why this strategic plan is putting things in perspective and and linking the topics via the destination in the work program you see on the right uh hand of this slide the work around the destinations they reflect the expected impacts and they make they allow to make the link with the chain of which leads up to the high policy orientations policy priorities of the commission so three of the key strategic orientations are really in particular relevant for cluster four you see them here in listed so the open strategic autonomy uh in terms of key digital enabling technologies uh the you know making europe the first digitally enabled circular climate neutral and sustainable economy and a more resilient inclusive and democratic european society so these are the key strategic orientations for cluster 4 linked to the overall policy priorities of the commission and they should always be kept in mind when we are working in those technologies on the next slide you see that these three key strategic orientations on the left column are translated into the six destinations of this work program 2122 and so there is a direct link although not always one-to-one but some important links between the destinations and the overall the key strategic orientation so the first destination is the climate neutral secular and digitized production so of the manufacturing sector and the second destination is the digitized resource efficient and resilient industry you then have the world leading data and computing technologies the digital emerging technologies for competitiveness and fit for the green deal then you have the space destination on open strategic autonomy developing deploying and using global space-based infrastructures service and applications and data and finally the human-centered ethical development of digital industrial technologies so these are the six destinations of cluster four the structure really the topics uh uh in the various areas but it's it is not a logic of of of the technologies themselves or the kind of traditional intervention areas that you can see in the uh legal base of horizon europe it is rather really structured around what impacts we want to achieve and what these topics should serve and i think we will never insist enough on this uh to really orient your proposals and you're thinking of how to to take topics to respond to topics towards those impact expected impacts on the next slide it's also important to remember that this cluster is oriented is funding 10 partnerships you see them related to the various parts of of the stuff of the cluster the first three are really related to the first and second destinations on manufacturing and cleaner uh and and and greener industry the five in blue are related to the digital uh elements of this cluster so as kibo kleiner mentioned the three joint undertakings are part of this cluster and you also see their their budget for the seven years so uh pc for high performance computing key digital technologies successor of excel in the microelectronics area smart networks and services for 5g and beyond and then two other partnerships corporate partnerships artificial intelligence data and robotics and photonics which whose topics are part of this work program it's also important to understand that the topics of the jus of the three joint undertaking you see here in blue are not part of this work program they develop their own work program which will be available very soon but they have their own legal and legal basis their own governance and their own way of making the research innovation strategic plan this in these areas and adopt the work programs consequently so you will not see topics in those uh three of these three joint undertakings in those three days the other the topics developed by the other partnerships which are not the jus which are old all co-program partnerships you will see them in those three days they are part of the work program and you see the the budget which we which we consider should be allocated to those partnerships and then the final partnerships you see in in in black one is about the space globally competitive space systems and and then the last one which is a cross-cutting not only a cluster form uh one but uh but really serving all kinds of technologies and and sciences the metrology uh partnership that is a continuation of the existing one under h horizon 2020 now on the next slide i'm coming now to the the destinations which we already saw and listed but with the budget in 2122 for each of them so that you you have an idea of how much they represent in terms of funding in total for this first world program 2122 we have a total program a pr programmable budget of about 3.5 billion euro which is broken down as you see here plus a bit more a bit less than one billion uh from uh for the ju so the the the the full uh you know two years for cluster four is a bit is around 4.5 billion but 3.5 in the in the in the world program itself and a bit less than 1 billion in the juice okay let's go to the next slide and and here i will start a series of slides which will quickly show you how each destination is structured because you saw how big each destination is covering the ground so uh the cluster itself is huge each destination is already is also very big and and we we felt that it is necessary to further uh structure each destination into groups of topics which make sense and which you know are consistent with each other in a certain sub-area of the destination so i will not get into the details of all of these areas because this is what you will do with the colleagues in the various topics of 22 in the next sessions but i think it's important to have an overview of how each destination is is structured and what are the different budget associated to that so on the left side of this table for destination one you see the various headings in that destination which are grouping several topics in 21 and 22. the number of topics is on the center column and the budget associated is on the right hand column uh here we are we are looking at we are presenting all topics in 21 22 in this in those slides but of course in the next sessions today tomorrow and the day after you will focus on the 22 topics the one which will be open uh now or next year as the first goal for 21 as you know is already closed so we will not go back to those in indeed but they are they are listed here they are counted here in those slides which are simply presenting the full picture of of the word program so you see the the various areas the the green flexible and advanced manufacturing the digital technologies for manufacturing a group of topics devoted to the construction area hubs for circularity uh enabling circular security or resources in the process industries integration of renewables and electrification in process industry so this has not changed also as peter troll said at the beginning this structure has not changed and you will recognize this structure in 22 topics in the 2022 topics as well on the next slide i can also go quickly now you see you understand the logic of those slides the list of headings in the second destination around the novel paradigms paradigms to establish resilient and secular value chains topics in the area of raw materials for strategic autonomy of the eu green and sustainable materials materials for the benefit of society and the environment and for decarbonizing the industry materials and data cross-cutting actions and a series of topics to improve the resilience and the preparedness of your businesses in particular the esme's and the startup on the third and the next slide you will see the data focus data technologies focus destination it's a more compact one but it's a crucial one it's at the core of the data economy that we are seeking to develop so it's around the data sharing technologies in the common european data spaces so access to data interoperability how to share and respect also the requirements in terms of data privacy and data protection then you have a series of topics around the strengthening the data analytics capacity of europe so here it's about big data analytics technologies and then cloud to edge to iot for european data so a change of paradigm in a way since uh data are going to be more and more processed uh at the edge and and less at the center so it's a huge change in the in in technologies and also the way architectures are conceived and these are the subject of these topics then on the next slide you have a destination for around the digital and emerging technologies for fit for the green deal so it's a long list of digital areas that you as you can see uh ultra low power processors electronics photonics 6g all of this as you as i said is is covered a lot in the jus in the joint undertaking so in the key digital technologies uh joint undertaking and sns smart networks and services for the 6g parts so what you see here are kind of complementary topics which are not in the jus but which are a bit lower trl and more research oriented but it's of of course a small part in a way of the research innovation which will be done in those areas you see the budget associated is relatively modest but most of the budget as you see at the bottom of this slide is going to the ju's in those areas so in the areas of microelectronics and 6g you see this amount 460 million euros for the kdtju and 243 million euros for sns these are the budget for the years 21 and 22. so it's quite a sizable budget budget in both cases then if i continue the list you know sorry just keep the slide um yes thank you innovation in ai data in robotics and then a deployable robots of tomorrow these are all topics important in the in in the area of vi and robotics of course and this is in liaison linked with the co-program partnership on indexed area that i mentioned at the beginning and then you have a section on emerging technologies uh which is relatively modest uh in size but still important it's to to identify the the key technologies of tomorrow and to be early to be ready to take the leadership quite early and then you have an important section as you see in terms of budget on quantum technologies a lot of topics uh which will be presented which we which were presented sorry in the in the first in four days in in early july um and i think that there might be a few a few more to present as well in this info days of these days and then graphene a few topics in this area to 2d materials to continue the activities where europe is is well placed but and we are getting to to higher trl uh important topics that will open next year and then on the next slide uh these are the human-centered and ethical developments of the industrial technologies it is destination six uh it doesn't mean that the other technologies that we you saw in the other destinations are not also human centered but those which we are listing here those topics are really about uh developing the uh human machine interactions uh also more trust transversey ai algorithm and technologies for the future internet technologies uh that are more trusted and that empower more uh the users and extended reality uh a big area of with a huge potential and many developments to come where europe can can can get a leadership position and then you also have a few cross-cutting topics in that destination in particular also the national contact points networks will be funded through through those topics and a number of topics to to uh to uh to make the most of the technologies which are developed in this cluster but to also serve at best the society and the industry and then the last destination but not the least of course the space focused destination you which you will hear also in more details with a lot of different streams around the eg nss upstream copanicus you heard also guillaume labros earlier this morning cassini space entrepreneurship the competitiveness of space technologies and access to space very important to reduce the cost or the the yes to make it cheaper for europeans to access to space and then a number of targeted and strategic actions including some space science topics next slide please i think i'm now covering the last two slides of my presentation uh just to say a few words about the social sciences and humanities side of this cluster we we think that involving social sciences and humanities can significantly enhance the outcomes of many of these projects in this cluster we think in particular about the human robot collaboration human empowerment improving the working conditions engaging with society to develop and adopt green and digital solutions removing biases in artificial intelligence as i said in decision six in particular and then also trustworthiness in next next generation internet and artificial intelligence so all around trust uh you know serving humans being better for for society we think that huma social sciences and humanities have an important contribution to make to these topics and they are an important dimension of it the role of these social sciences and humanities is explicit in 52 topics in this class and this work work program but of course it doesn't mean that they are excluded from from the from the others and then there is some opportunities for what we call social innovation in 20 topics of this cluster in this first work program and the last slide is about international cooperation uh we we there is a as everywhere in in horizon europe there is a general opening of horizon europe to international cooperation and of this cluster so you know that the low and the middle income countries can participate with and receive some new funding the other countries can participate but usually they don't receive eu funding except if we just justify it and specify the work program international cooperation is explicitly encouraged in 42 topics in this cluster in this first world program and it is flagged on the portal as stronger europe in the world if you if you filter through that uh phrase now as when it comes to the associated countries uh there are transitional arrangements for countries which were formally associated in horizon 2020 uh now full association i mean i think the the the the process is has come to an end almost for with most if not all of the candidates associated countries so they are getting now associated for real and in any case it is retroactive uh to first of january this year so they can be fully part of of the topics as associated countries only switzerland is now not considered as a candidate associated countries until further notice so it is not it will not be unassociated countries in the uh you know in the in in very soon so we it depends on more uh general cooperation agreement which goes beyond research and innovation um and article 22.5 as you know is a new provision in horizon europe which allows to restrict some topics which are particularly particularly sensitive uh in relation to strategic autonomy strategic interests security and strategic assets so for some of these of the topics which are so sensitive there is a possibility to restrict participation to european actors or to european owned actors the restriction may be absolute or not sometimes it's only to check further some some guarantees that security will be um will be uh respected uh by by uh foreign entities but in any case it is it is really a way to make to make sure that europe can master and shape some of the sensitive technologies and will not depend overly on third countries for for those technologies in cluster four you may know that it concerns in particular uh topics in the area of quantum and in particular the high trl quantum topics which are particularly sensitive for for the future and in the space area as well uh in the raw materials as well we make use of this uh 22.5 but with a larger geographical scope of inclusion so it's mainly to exclude some less like-minded countries let's put it like that from the raw materials topics i think that covers more or less the full presentation of this cluster i hope it was useful for you to situate where to look for your favorite topics it gives also an overview of the budget in the various areas and as jurgen said we will take questions in the various sessions dedicated to the topics that will be presented over the next three days thank you very much and back to you you again for closing the session but here many thanks for this excellent overview comprehensive and very clear so i hope it was interesting for all those who are following this um we will start now with the sessions on the individual destination the first one will be about the digitized resource efficient and resilient industry 2022 or in destination 2 which will start at 10 o'clock so in nine minutes from here and then there will be really the opportunity to ask question uh under slido i'm repeating how you can use slider which is hashtag cl for in for day we will show this uh entry into slido again also in each sessions so please reconnect in eight minutes at ten o'clock and then we start with destination two uh one journal hint still is this session will not be about raw materials the raw materials topics will be dealt with tomorrow morning so time for grabbing a coffee or for a short break we will all reconnect at 10 o'clock thank you for your attention so far and we are looking forward to many questions and very good discussions thank you very much yes good morning let us uh let us start now the first session uh this is about the call the digitized resource efficient and resilient industry would like to go through the topics in the work program for 2022 and and it would be good if we can show now the slides we will take you through the topics and i have here actually all the experts with me whom i will introduce to you later on these are the experts from dg research innovation the experts from hadiya say health and digital executive agencies and we will try our best to answer all your questions you have seen the how you can ask questions on slido which is hashtag cl4 info day so we are looking forward to getting your question uh you see here all the opportunities on this slide how to connect with us so i wait for a second so that everybody can take note here of this and start engaging with us and then i such less suggest we move on to the next slide thank you you've seen this slide already it's our vision so it was a green and digital twin transition twins green and digital where we have three main drivers the industrial and digital transformation we'd like to get the industry moving to become climate neutral circular and clean and this is our third priority that future projects make a major contribution to inclusiveness and resilience focus on human-centered and ethical developments the engagement with users workers and citizens social innovation this is a clear invitation this slide if you are preparing proposals not only to look at the topic texts let's be clear let's look into the introduction given to the whole work program look into the introduction per destination to get a holistic view the background is that this work program under horizon europe is now much more impact driven compared to what you were following in the past under horizon 2020 and for newcomers let me repeat we focus much on this concept of expected output expected outcome expected impact it's the expected output what can a project deliver what can a consortium control as a delivery at the end the expected outcome what should actually be influenced so here you see this division that's the influence we are looking for and the expected impact is how many interests are actually concerned here so if we're moving forward uh what about the users the workers and the citizen so it's a quite holistic view we are taking and this is quite relevant for you when you start preparing proposals could you then please um move to the next slide so this is for you a reminder we have the work program it's one work program 2021-2022 the calls for 2021 have just closed the evaluations are ongoing and very soon people will be contacted as regards whether they made it or not and the grant agreement preparations will start here the topics we will focus on the calls opened on the 12th of october 2021 and the deadline is the 30th of march for 2022. um the point i would like to make also for you is these texts are stables we hear lots of discussion will the commission introduce a lump scam rese regime what about funding rates for partnerships will it be 60 as it stands or will it change everything what you have in the text it's stable we would like to use the sessions today and in the next two days to identify questions you have to clarify them and if need be even prepare a kind of faq to clarify outstanding issues for the whole community so the work program stands as it is you should not expect any changes further the next slide please okay i'm since i've been asked to switch off my video i'm happy now to hand over to the first colleagues which is extremely monica spino uh and also jonas hedberg from hadia uh gabine you will present the first slide and the first topic go ahead please yeah thank you jurgen and good morning to everybody i will present the topic and then it will be my pleasure also to to answer the questions together with with monica that is here with us so this is the first topic of resilience and this the title is circular and low emission value change through digitalization as the title says there uh the topic is one of the five topics that in the world program 2022 implements the co-program european partnership processes for planet so what we are looking at here is the process industry that includes sectors such as cement or steel ceramics chemicals water refineries palpate paper so i'm not trying to be exhaustive here the budget is at about 25 million euros the new contribution per project we were thinking about six eight million so this means we will be able to finance about three four projects the type of action is a research and innovation action and as you can see from the project expected outcomes that trl so the technology readiness levels we are expecting at the end of the project is actually six so that means that technology is demonstrated in the relevant environment um the topic is about circularity and circularity in the process industry means that the waste from one process becomes the raw material for another process but both processes don't need to be necessarily in the same industry so we may be well looking here at industrial symbiosis too but a deficiency of this circularity can only be ensured through a transparent information system and what this system is going to allow us to do is to follow the material but also the components of the material and the quality through the whole value chain to build this transparent information system well there's quite a number of things that this topic was requesting really challenging the first one is to propose new solutions to improve the use of secondary raw materials as i was saying it can be within the same industry the same process industry or it can be also through industrial symbiosis proposed methodologies for digital tracing and certification of secondary raw materials and this this needs to give us the option to follow this material information in real time propose digital tools for integration of the product passport or certification schemes it depends and then develop means and tools to indicate the composition and the origin of this recycled material through all these um the projects are expected to contribute to two main specific outcomes the first one is to demonstrate uh that the waste reduction in the process industry and this by application as we have said of these digital technologies and this intelligent information system and then demonstrate also the optimization of the use of secondary raw materials in the value chains and with this small recap of what this topic is about we are happy to take your questions yes i'm also trying to cope with the digital world thank you galbinia uh so um are there any questions uh coming up my main important point is see i would like to refer to the eleventh four and six which gabini already mentioned are there any questions it's now the moment to come up hello eunice good to see you as well and hello monica any questions i'm looking here thanks for showing the reminder is there any info additional information i can source on this call advanced materials modeling and characterization this is working with major clusters i suppose it's concerned with clusters outside horizon europe who wants to take this question garbine monica uh maybe i can take it but the thing is that i don't think it's our topic that we discuss here this is another topic this is resilience one zero nineteen nineteen so it's not okay see first question is would only this sectors within as a process for planet partnership be considered okay so i can take this one already if okay carbine also can complement and it's not an issue but um it's clearly meant i think it's clearly that we don't speak about sectors we speak about process industries we don't refer to sectors here and the main let's say the main is coming another one so i should not look at the screen and the main idea is to integrate the digitalization into circularity addressing uh process industries we don't speak about sectors so it's beyond that yeah just uh just to clarify i hope it's it's clear if it's not clear come back to me okay thank you monica since we have two other questions and i quote both of them now the call is a project that has developed a technology to separate food and non-food waste plastic and scope and the other one do you need to address both outcomes which gabinia has presented monika yes okay um i'm not sure about separation of food and okay food waste plastic it's very it's very uh specific as a question i i i think we have to reflect on that if you can see the link with the process industries then you can integrate that into the value chains give it a try but i'm i it's very it's very uh yeah it's very specific i i don't see directly now the link we will have to we can come back to that but at the moment yeah if you can integrate that into the process industries and like what we have in the p4p process industries you can see the link there probably for for classic waste but i i directly here i cannot give a direct answer on that and then maybe i can take the other one the both outcomes sure [Laughter] yeah that's uh very important yeah we don't have uh we don't say we don't say that we we expect only one com we have to address the following outcomes as it is in the text yeah okay thank you monica garbine anything to add at this stage no galbinia okay so on the two outcomes need to be addressed in any proposal and food let me draw the attention this is mainly something for cluster six uh it is not really for digital industry and space if i can't give this hint then we have some next question is it possible to register a new company to participate are only existing companies with some history i accepted i especially think about the blockchain technologies that are developed outside of classic company borders this is a quite horizontal question uh monica garbine do you want to add anything on blockchain technologies first of all uh let's say blockchain technologies is not i'm not a big knowledgeable person in that but it's if it's just about registering a new company to participate if you have the link with the value chains if you have the link with the process industry of course i mean it's uh we don't uh we don't have i think so strict rules in that sense if you are if you are linked to the value chains then you you have a link with the process industries definitely thank you monica next question please is there any other question no this seems not to be the case is the process for planet the old spire yes yes yes yes yes indeed but with variations and a proper road map which you find on the website of spire it's called no process for planet are there any the next question on this topic no it looks like okay uh so if colleagues you can stay tuned because sometimes questions are coming later on we would then move on and we make a little jump because we are moving now from resilience 0 1 0 1 to actually resilience 10 which is about innovative materials for advanced nano electronics components and systems and i fear jana drobolova with me and australian jenga uh jana you will present this topic please go ahead thank you indeed good morning everybody can you hear me well we can hear you well and can we can we show also the slides colleagues would be nice so the title of the topic is innovative materials for advanced nano electronics nano is in the bracket so it can be broader than nano uh components and system and this is research and innovation action um what we expect from the projects is that they should contribute in development of innovative new components and system with enhanced and new functionalities and improved performance instructors such as healthcare well-being mobility and transformation aeronautics environment monitoring security and safety energy smart cities and textiles and manufacturing and also the impacts should be found in smart grids efficient through live performance monitoring smart manufacturing and digital industry with increased computing performance and efficient data storage this call is expected to this topic is expected to start uh with trl uh about three and at the end of the project achieve the trl of five and uh the expected budget per project is about three to five million while the budget for the whole call is about 20 million so what is the scope of the uh topic we know that europe aims to become a global role model for the digital economy and society and for these electronic components and systems are core enablers they are also key to maintain the competitiveness of european industry generating growth creating value jobs and prosperity and materials innovation lies at the heart of this endeavor so the actions under this topic must address the following technologies it should be innovative materials design and processing for devices based on new and emerging technologies including advanced methods of data-driven materials design such as spintronics neuromorphic immaterial computing multi-sensing photonics nanomechanics advanced ferroelectrics or biosensing it should also cover heterogeneous integration of new material such as a pair of skype type structures graphene titanium dioxide or aluminium trioxide and so on for miniaturized sensors and actuators and proposals should also indicate the key specification to be achieved and develop demonstrating demonstrator components and system to showcase the desired functionalities together with the increased efficiency reliability and manufacturability the call is open for international collaboration and if you have any further questions for this please come back to me thank you jana for this introduction now here we the floor is open for questions on this topic resilience 110 innovative materials for advanced nano electronic components and systems are there questions yeah now we have to wait a little bit i don't let you escape don't worry i'm here okay good are there any questions what does this mean partnership is in this what does it mean when the partnership is in the call okay so this is general i guess this is this is a very general question you have only one topic in this session which concerns a partnership process for planet what does this mean practically speaking you know if you allow me i answer straight away please please it means that this topic is related to a road map a road map developed by industries and this roadmap here is a process for planet roadmap it's a roadmap of seven years which guides us to have industry related topics in our work programs 2023 2024 i think you can find the relevant roadmaps of co-program partnerships on their websites this has been explained also this morning in the slides by you that is clues how they function i hope this helps at this stage ah what i would like to add uh you need not to be a member of such a partnership to participate in the call so it's open to everybody and our experience from the past with these kind of partnerships is that between 66 and even 80 percent of participants and these calls come from outside and are non-members of a partnership i see another question coming up otherwise it seems to be very clear jana i don't see any other question okay okay if everything is clear if you can say yeah thanks for the reminder in terms of slido and cl4 in today let's wait for a second this seems not to be the case so if the topic is clear even better we're looking forward to interesting proposals jana if you can stay a little bit connected still because questions might come up later thank you jonah then i would like to move to the next slide this is advanced lightweight materials for energy efficient structures this is the next slide please okay and i'm happy to hand over to you will you schmidt will present this topic to you and also answer all questions over to you good morning i hope you can hear and see me very clear good so we are um about discovering about the topic resilience 11 it's about advanced lightweight materials for energy efficient structures um what the topic should achieve is to reduce the cost for the production of renewable lightweight materials the cost should be 25 lower than current materials the lightweight material should contain about 50 percent more than 50 percent of bio-based materials the lightweight potential should be 30 percent and be operational in extreme environment that means at higher temperatures and for energy infrastructures for aeronautics for space but also in surface transport um reduction of co2 emissions that we want to achieve with this topic is twenty percent uh with the life cycle analysis uh and um the new business models should be developed under this topic um and of course an improved time to market is very pressing to um to achieve our ambitions under the green deal this is what we want to have as an outcome under the topic so what do we expect from the from the proposals we would like to develop a high-performance lightweight material and associated manufacturing techniques should be developed and proposals should address to develop new chemistries for fast curing resins including bioresins and associated technologies for for production we should have cost competitive neural renewable raisins and core materials that are combined with fibers to make renewable light big composites and structures and the design paradigms should enable hybrid composites that that are based on a variety in a variety of constituents the performance of those lightweight materials should be resistant to temperatures above 300 degrees obviously we are dealing in an ambitious environment of aeronautics space and there the the the material has to be resistant to these temperatures um and the new multifunctional college we can't hear you early are you still with us do we have a connectivity issue can you hear me now we can hear you over here loud and clear yeah there was a short a short power cut here um so we we were um at the level of um the temperature resistance temperature resilience um we we need new multifunctional composites that are optimized to have several functions and thermal management heating and cooling um also to be used in energy harvesting and storing uh more morphing and self-monitoring and we need recycling technologies to um to have the polymer composites in the end of life basically cradle-to-grave what we call this to to look at the sustainable application of those uh developed structures so we want to achieve a positive environmental impact and propose this should include of course a business case and exploitation strategies all together the the topic is open for international cooperation i think we we have the topics at the end of the presentation of the groups of topics and i give back to to the moderator your entity please thank you willy thank you for this introduction now the flow is to the audience if there any questions via slido questions via slido you see there are many questions the first one is if i can see it i can read it surface transport do you mean automotive rail really that's the first question then the next one surface transfer do you mean automatic rail can you take that question first yes absolutely it's automotive it's real um but if needed you can also uh think about um surface as shipping where where those materials are applicable second question about bio-based materials above 50 this can be of course also recycled materials yes okay then the next one is all the bullet points of the scope should be addressed or not um not all um obviously if you can address more than one this will be considered as a positive element in the proposal but it's we did not write in the topic test text that all all of those bullet points have to readjust okay i would suggest there's one question on resilience zero one zero one for you garbini and monica and and eunice but first of all there are questions still to this topic let's go through the questions of this topic uh is it a call addressed only for the development of thermosets or also for thermoplastics bullish um the expected tier levels uh are starting at three and achieving five six it says in the main slide yeah okay what about time or sandwich else yes um i would come back on this very specific question so we take note and we publish this later on in the faqs okay thank you then there is a question as regards aluminium alloys and recycled aluminium is such a would such a proposal be within the scope uh is it i guess it is on the lightweight materials i think yes also if you if you if you talk about the aluminum composite structures that contain also by materials as a composite um obviously you can use also recycled aluminum this is fully in scope with our um our policy on sustainable sustainability okay i see there was two questions now on zero one zero one but before we come to them uh there are still questions to the topic just by presented by the topic zero one eleven about lightweight materials are there any questions built to this hiya there's one question for you early so i don't let you escape higher performance above 300 degrees you see the question um well we we were thinking um it could be um anywhere in breaks it could be anything i mean if you have aeronautics obviously temperatures go go up very high above 300 degrees so therefore we said we should at least at least have high performance materials that can resist 300 degree surfaces thank you uli for this clear answer are there other questions related to this topic otherwise i take three questions as regards resilient0101 okay so early it seems that you have answered all questions then i go back to monica and jonas there's three questions on brazilian 0101 concerning the traceability recommended from the raw materials perspective what's the traceability should we should someone takes a raw materials perspective also focus on the secondary uh raw materials flow secondary materials flows the next question is uh is there a request to demonstrate this at pilot level uh the traceability or reuse or recycle approaches of composites and secondary raw materials for specific applications could the proposal have different pilots resilience0101 is reported activities are expected to start at tl3 and achieve gl6 button slides to start stl4 okay uh who would like to take these three questions garbini monica i i can already take the first one um well we speak about circularity so i i'm not sure what do you mean by either we take the whole value chain either focus on the secondary if you want to address circularity you have to look at the whole value chain and the secondary raw materials how do you include that in the value chain back so i guess the the it's a i'm not sure i i see the issue so for me when you speak about security you have to to address both either you start following from a raw material which is actually a secondary role material either start from the let's say the uh not a secondary raw material but you still have to know how to reintroduce that in the circuit so you will have to address it somehow when you speak about circularity uh garbine i said maybe she wants to compliment because she has the hand raised so maybe i know thank you um okay okay digitalization is not my stuff when it comes to zuma no it's because when you were speaking i was uh reading the topic and it's true that for tracing we were mentioning tracing on secondary raw materials but then of course then when you are uh the last point about recycled material so about the whole flow we are also talking about a com being able to trace we are not using the word trace but to indicate the composition the origin etc so just uh to confirm what monica was saying it's really trustability through the whole chain yeah okay and maybe i will take the or i don't know wait wait yeah the the trl because the tl yeah it might be a mistake in our slides uh we we didn't have probably the same um the same text as it was published on the on the web so you might yeah i think there is just uh just uh uh yeah um [Music] a correction there on our side it should if it's crl three it should be tier three we just didn't have the right text in the slides yeah so if you have that in the web it's it's the right version yeah and we'll confirm to l3 yeah and then the last i think that the other one on the composite my if i'm not mistaken my might be for the other topic that that to represented but maybe the person who wrote because i have the feeling we speak about composites here and it's it was not what we were so maybe it's just the title which is wrong in the the question maybe maybe if uri can read also what's in the question maybe he can confirm that i'm right okay it's really still so um for resilience 11. the um starts at three and g5 and um uh the circular lower mission value chains um topic zero one uh starts at three and should achieve uh six and that's what we have in this slide and i quickly cross check it again in the um so we may need to take this as an faq okay so maybe this question if i may come back i don't know i think or maybe there is a a combination of a question for the use of secondary raw materials and then use of composites i don't know it's it's a mix of questions here in this this last question that we have on on slido i i i don't know maybe the person could rewrite it again without maybe specify because composite is for the other topics and then secondary raw materials is for the topic 101 so i'm not sure i understand it correctly okay thank you monica so if people want to pose another question and garbine has the hands or you can just check out in your place no i mean very briefly what i was thinking if this is really just a mistake that they are talking about composites and they were thinking about uh the topic zero one zero one of course indeed they can come with several pilots if they think this is what is what is needed uh for demonstration not improvements for that maybe to clarify one point i mean the the um the topic of circular motion value chains is about raw materials but also components in in in products composites could be components but obviously the focus is here on the raw materials and the circularity of those there is still one question from uh via slido which will be either titled speak about energy efficient structures that's for you always but um yes um well any anything in the com on a composite material is a structure obviously um that is is a composite has a structure um but it is not to be seen as um [Music] as an infrastructure it's really the structure of the of the component material good then we have a question still again about 300 degrees thanks a lot garbinia monica and jonas i think we have you have answered all questions on resilience zero one now hopefully you're back in the spotlight about 300 degrees uh well the the outcome is really what the topic uh should achieve so it's the overall achievement um in um in delivering energy efficiency delivering on co2 emissions um the this scope is um what the proposal should address and and the proposals should address to develop um bio-based um lightweight materials that are resilient to use above general degrees thank you there's now a question will the call focus on digital and process innovation are only digitalization i suppose this is not related to this topic but to the topic resilience0101 which we have already answered which we have already dealt with uh gabinia will come back to this let's wait first of all what whether there's still any questions on uh energy efficient structures on this topic if not um then let's come back to this question here this is uh for you garbini and for you monica will resilient zero one zero one focus on digital and process innovation or only digitalization so it's both in fact i mean it's digitalization in the in the processes digitalization and the circularity so you the idea is to to to include digitalization to help make um to contribute to circularity so this is it's both yeah just to keep it short thank you very much uh then i have let's come to the next topic as is one question still on zero one eleven okay now it's a bit back and forth i must say uh oh if you're still back if temperatures above three degree and higher are required only summersets must be considered it is difficult to think to use an aerospace sector with lightweight materials that must be fifty percent bio based and only term or set um we had the question on tunnel sets already um uh 15 minutes ago and uh i said we take the question we know the question and uh we will answer this and in written form as a fa cube okay thank you thank you so then i suggest we move to the next topic which is functional multi-material components and structures resilience0112 and here we have two colleagues thomas van dumbeck from dg research innovation and rosita vasileva from hadia thomas the floor is us thank you eugene so good morning to all the topics we'll be dealing with now is indeed functional multi-material components and structures so the context for this topic um is in optimized lightweight designs as is more uh clearly explained in the full topic text so multi-material structures they have specific challenges and these should be addressed from a multi-disciplinary perspective from the stage of design to manufacturing as you can see in this slide the outcomes are listed so it is expected that the proposals contribute to energy so the topic contributes to energy efficiency increases competitiveness of new multi-material items and multi-functional materials and produce products for a wide range of applications in the additive manufacturing industries and specific industrial sectors as mentioned so there are examples there of the list is non-exhaustive there are some clear metrics that are aimed at we want to reduce the weight by 50 compared to traditional designs um reduce lead time of multi-material products of 20 compared to today's design of multi-material products strengthening of the eu's manufacturing industry um combining materials with high uniformity and with high mobility industrial quantities an increase of the product performance by at least 30 while retaining the price of course dissemination uh is always very important so there is a budget for seen for the call 20 million a project is expected to to receive funding between four and six million and the trl goes from three to six so the scope is um clearly explained in the um in the topic text um i won't go into much detail maybe to to highlight the most important uh part of the scope at least something that i would like to highlight is the this the second point is evaluation of matching material properties to the production processes to enable the joining of this similar dissimilar materials for additive manufacturing tools i think the other parts of the scope we can read in the text so i think we can go to questions thanks a lot thomas uh let's focus now first of all on resilience 0-1-12 i just heard questions on the previous topics but first of all are are there questions related to resilience 0 1 12 functional multimaterial components and structures so i try to read it should all the bullet points of the scope and the outcomes be addressed that's the first question is this topic also covering the packaging sector should it be taken to account and then there's another question is the scope limited to bulk material or can surface materials be considered to um so on the first question um yes all the outcomes has to have to be addressed but as is specified also in the topic text the um the scope all the points that are listed in the scope um [Music] several of those activities should be addressed so not all then the second question i can see on the screen or the upper one now um the packaging sector yeah as mentioned i think the the the industrial sectors that are listed there are uh examples um so um i think it is open but the topic text mentions a lot additive manufacturing it's lightweight designs performance i think packaging sector would would maybe need more creativity to include but if you have uh if you can prove that you have a innovative technology it can contribute to the to the topic outcomes then i think it is also possible it's not excluded in the text second okay yeah go ahead no no yeah i'm just replying to the questions as i see them appear on the screen the second bullet point of the scope what are additive manufacturing uh so um no i think uh the am abbreviation stands for uh additive manufacturing in this topic okay the next one is the outcome must be a processor component then develop optimize structures in terms of operational performance and weight with the goal of reducing weight by 50 compared traditional designs must this be shown also in the methodology only is the expected impact the first question it's an interesting question i think the the focus is that um there is uh improvement in in in the in general so the developing optimized structures as i mentioned in the second question is part of the outcome so um i think yeah i cannot really state now i think i would have to come back to to see if we can confirm the first or the other one the first or the second one um yeah questions are switching so i don't know which to attend first okay maybe we take someone one this metal part of the scope can it be one of the materials to be addressed so next one is what is meant with multi-material can it be assembled or does it need to be manufactured together and the third question is the business case must be on an application for example in aeronautics these are three questions okay so the first question is metal part of the scope yes metal can be part of the multi-material the second question what is meant with multi-material assembled or manufactured um it's it can be both i think uh in the scope it is also uh stated that um one of the points is a combination of precision engineering design with additive manufacturing methods to provide tailor-made joining solutions for distributed materials so um yes i think it can also be be assembled i think there uh the there is a focus also in the topic text on use and recycling so for example reuse and dismantlement of materials of the multi-materials is important in this context the business case must be on application for example in aeronautic um i'm not sure if i understand the question the business case yeah i i will have to come back to that i cannot really relate to the business case yeah it should include a business case and an exploitation strategy um but that is very general for all the topics uh in the um in this destination i think so it's not really a specific question for this topic okay so we come again the question comes back to develop optimized structures in terms of operational performance this relates to the second bullet point okay in the expected outcome section must also show the methodology or only the expected impact well i think the text is clear it refers to the expected impact yes yes i agree [Music] it is mentioned under the outcomes so uh yes okay what is meant with multi-material can it be assembled or does it need to be manufactured together you already answered this question from us yes indeed um okay focus on additive manufacturing yeah i think the so we have had proposals in the past that focused for example on adhesion bonding but in this case it is also stated to scope that that the additive manufacturing processes are of importance so the focus is there um of course it's not explicitly mentioned in the outcomes but if you check the scope then additive manufacturing is in the focus yes okay then we have the next question is the scope limited to bulk material or can surface materials be considered true yeah i would have to come back to that i cannot say that surface materials are excluded right now i would have to come back to that i will write it down okay this might be then something called our faqs good then we had a question we already answered is the scope limited to additive manufacturing 3d printing it is not limited because i think it's not excluded explicitly but it is very important so um i think the main uh or the main focus would be that it has to be very innovative um but additive manufacturing is uh is clearly stated as being uh of importance to this topic thank you toomas we have sent another one you're not yet off can manufacturing be considered as being part of the scope tool manufacturing i think um the the focus is on uh developing optimized structures uh that's in the outcomes um so um if the tool as such is the the product or the multi-material um i guess so but but i don't see where if the if tool manufacturing is referred to as a specific activity where multi-material um um structures um are part of the the products yes it can be part of the scope but if the focus is on designing a new tool um that wouldn't fit with with the developing of optimized structures and reduction of weights okay there are two further questions thomas the first one is can this topic be focus on automated fiber placement can this be considered as additive manufacturing process this goes no very much into the detail and then the next one is multimeter as i intended also as to the development of new composites yes on the automated fiber placement that is indeed too too detailed for me now to to answer um we can try to come back to that um but um yeah it's it's not about stretching the definition of additive manufacturing but i cannot exclude it we will have to come back to that um then what was the next question are multimedia also as a development of new composites i'm trying to understand the question okay maybe we have now first of all a question about can you please clarify a bit more the focus of business cards and this topic then we have a question about polymeric matrix composites can they be considered as multi-materials so maybe we start with the focus of the business case in this topic yes so in the scope um it is mentioned that proposals and i will read it submitted under this topic should include a business case and exploitation strategy as outlined in the introduction to the whole destination so business case is important since the topic will will focus on developing these new optimized structures um and we are um there there should be an application i mean it should be relevant i think also the trl i would have to check again but it's at six so so the technology should be demonstrated in a relevant environment so i guess there also comes a little bit um it it should be something that that will in the long term be commercial so yeah the business case is part of the topic or should be part of the proposal as with any um topic under this destination thank you thomas then there's a bit kind of yes no type question i suppose that's a topic is mainly addressed to develop additive manufactured metallic materials for aeronautics including multi materials since the text mentioned joining of dissimilar materials is this correct um this is definitely one of the possible uh subjects or focused areas of the topic but it is not the topic is not dedicated or aimed at aeronautics only i mean it is in general on multi-materials but of course the joining of decimal materials is relevant within arion ethics but um it's not exclusively uh dedicated or focused on aeronautics thank you thomas very clear since there was another question polymeric matrix composites can be considered multi-materials um in this uh context i think um polymer compiza composites i think the combination that is also mentioned i think in the introduction is is a combination more of polymer composites and metals but um as an example but yeah i cannot it would really depend on how the composite is uh assembled okay let's um let's come back to that here yeah what matters most is indeed the text so many thanks to thomas said you answered all the questions since there would have been a lot this was a big interest so there were open things on surface materials tool manufacturing and the polymer matrix uh yeah i think the uh those who are asking questions have of course also the opportunity to go to the national contact points we assume we organized the training session last week but points noted i will then suggest that we come to see next to the next topic which is safe and systematic by design organic and hybrid coatings so looking around is alexander malichka and alessia amerio with us i am indeed present i don't know about alessia i hope she is go ahead please thank you very much jorgen thank you for the opportunity to present this topic and also to provide you a bit of the context under which we decided to develop this specific call so here indeed we are talking about safe and sustainable by design organic and hybrid coatings this is a research innovation action and indeed this is something that from some of you might be familiar um in the context of save by design because this is what the commission used to support in the previous programs and was focusing mostly on nano materials and nano enabled products but indeed to align with the goals of the green deal we decided to go beyond nano and to try to address also sustainability aspects which which is very relevant and in this specific case this is indeed a topic of of uh societal urgency and need and it's very much aligns uh with the ambition of the chemical strategy for sustainability which is looking for uh replacing the hazardous substances and here and specifically we are looking for innovative materials to replace [Music] pifas coatings and specifically because currently those are those take the larger share of the organic coatings market so this is why we decided to come up with with this specific call as you can see the projects are expected to contribute to the following outcomes and here we would like the pro projects to contribute to a set of computational tools to be used for supporting safe and sustainable by design materials we would like to see the projects developing at least two novel materials for example but of course not limited to bio based ones and assessed in terms of their performance function this is the really the core of the concept of safe and sustainable by design so the idea is to maintain of course the per the performance the function of the material but on the other um on the other um hand to minimize the negative impacts for human health and the environment so this is exactly what we are asking for to ensure to to address the environmental hazards as well as their environmental footprint here specifically we're asking about the carbon and water food footprint as well as recovery and recyclability every aspect of that should be um accounted and take into consideration in the uh life cycle approach so life cycle assessment is really relevant for this for the skull we would also like and see uh projects to contribute here specifically for for applying and safe and sustainable by design criteria and guiding principle to organic and hybrid coatings we very much also encourage participants to to uh to to take a look to align and follow the developments um that are being done by the commission as we are developing the criteria for safe and sustainable by design so that there will be progress in time and this would be very encouraged uh for the projects um to to to align and observe the progress edits happening and what is also very important for us is really to have to look at the impact and to enhance the social acceptance of the newly developed materials by gathering and providing relevant evidence and here we also ask to develop a certification program or equivalent and here i would like to stress the equivalent what we aim to and we are looking for is really to develop a series of tests and methods that could really allow uh um to assess and to provide the relevant data to show that indeed the new alternative materials are performing better in terms of of safety or sustainability along the whole value chain and the indicative budget for the call is 20 millions and we see that the project should uh um the contribution per project should range between three to five million and as mentioned already there is a this is research innovation action and the trls should be reached should achieve uh the um and i think what uh with with the scope of the call this is also quite uh um nicely uh explained in the in the text so i would open it for questions if any thank you alexander for this very clear explanation so we look now into slido if there any questions coming up questions please for the topic safe and systematic by design are the materials meant for final consumer goods or should it be for the business b2b contacts to supply industries this is of course not not specified and we leave it to the project proposal what is relevant also with this project is uh yet again a business case that needs to explore uh what i so yes this is not predetermined so both options are available depending on the proposal what i would like to also add is that we are very much looking for this proposal to align and proactively engage with coordination and support action this is also in the context sorry for adding this extra comment but this is very relevant for the for the call thank you alexandra does this scope exclude foot packaging of course not no there is no exclusion thank you is there another question on this topic no okay it seems to be very clear alexandra i'm very happy about that thank you very much alexandra and alessia as well good i suggest then we move on to the next topic uh so i would like to ask now jana robertalova to present the uh resilience zero one now i need to look into my script uh certain smart and multifunctional biomaterials for health innovations jana please the floors is us okay so um the title smart and multifunctional biomaterials false health innovation it's quite broad i will explain what it covers it's research and innovation action again and the projects are expected to contribute to the development of multifunctional biomaterials to address and mitigate multiple bottlenecks in response to unmanned clinical needs the new solutions need to meet improve biocompatibility biospecificity and longevity and when relevant improve bioactivity and biodegradability as well as the improvement of physiological and biomechanical constraint the project should be compatible with regulatory and ipr strategies and they should start at trl well three and at the end of the project achieve about five the expected budget is pardon between three to five million and the goal budget is then about 20 million so this multifunctional biomaterials for health application may include but are not limited to tissue engineering artificial organs implants bio inks for bioprinting platforms microfluidics bioactive scaffolds wearable and implantable devices in vitro diagnostics and so on a project should further develop and validate specific multifunctional biomaterials or microsystems for use in advanced therapy medicinal product or medical device and what is important is also that the project uh address preclinical pre-clinical regulatory affairs as well as manufacturing processes including upscaling and good manufacturing practice the project should pay special attention to the needs of small medium sized enterprise and to ultimate clinical application of the new developed biomaterials the proposals should also present a solid economical evaluation and possible savings together with patient benefits there should be also business case and exploitation strategy and the proposals are again open for international collaboration so now i'm waiting for your questions thank you jana for this clear introduction are there questions via slido can bioresistance be included i think there is nothing excluded in this as i said this is very broad so the biomaterials can really cover if if there are other requirements which are met then i think it is possible is anti-microbial surface modification included i think we had already a topic on this if i am not mistaken on anti-microbial surfaces but again if it's it's if it's part of the of the biomedical device or system then again it is it is welcome i cannot say which which will be the final application so it's really on the whole concept of the of the product okay then there is a question related to see to the scope pay special attention to the needs of smes does this imply the integration of an sme into the consortium does it exclude mid-size companies and large company groups okay so first part of the question definitely including smes into consortium is always welcome because then you have the industry aspect inside and definitely it doesn't exclude mid sites and larger companies from the proposal they can be also a partner yeah this means also you can include an sme into the consortium you can include but it's not mandatory okay then there is a question about international cooperation are associated partners admitted for example u.s associated partner uh this year can i am not sure but um i suppose that if if they are in general uh allowed to participate then i need to come back maybe to this the topic taxes and so far very clear it starts where the eu has reciprocal benefit while including while excluding and dusk competitors from countries where the safeguarding of ipis cannot be guaranteed that's a point for which future proposers have to look into i think the question can also be raised later on as a discussions on synergies on wednesday there's then one question still to 0 11 and 0 12 before we come to this is there's still one question on 0 1 0 1 13. no this seems not to be case then i'm coming to the question about lightweight materials yeah it's it's very popular between the degrees to see but as i said um we have to consult with the specialist or colleague who wrote the topic text who's unfortunately not available today to answer on these questions and uh we have to i understand um it's very tricky to use biobased at this um at this temperatures but we have to clarify this and have to come back at a later point many things so in concrete those who are asking this question can address the question to the national contact point who can send this question quickly to us we will also look into this what we can say under frequently asked question i think the first process the first way forward i suggest it might actually be faster then we have questions still to zero 12 is more used cases from transport together considered redundant aircraft marine and automotive all together well this is more silly question for you um i think this was under the materials but um i i don't fully understand it um because it's about a multi-material topic and i think transport altogether yes it should be uh should be one of the application areas yeah okay so the question is thomas you are back thank you if you can take this question what about use cases from transport are they considered redundant i must say it's a bit difficult to understand the question but maybe you can grasp it um yes um i think if if um if it is relevant if the application is if is relevant for the different um it can be used in different sectors yes it can be presented um together there's no redundancy but of course within the context of the proposal if it's interesting if there is an added value to to to treat them um together then of course it's possible good thing thank you thomas and we have a question to jana robolova this is a job on a country that can participate is a funding from japan i think maybe i jana you want to answer uh i just remember in the past you can maybe i can take this one okay yes hello everyone this is alessa speaking uh this topic as uh basically all the other ones except the the one that uh other uh and the disclaimer that this uh topic is uh um is open for international cooperation where the eu has reciprocal benefits while excluding industrial competitors from countries where the safeguarding on fbi cannot be guaranteed is open for the participation of every country doesn't matter if they are associated or unassociated country to the eu the most important thing if they are not associated with the horizon europe program they can guarantee the funding to take part in their activities in case of exceptional funding as was already uh discussed at the beginning of the presentation uh it really depends if they can justify this exceptional funding but then it will be upon to the appointing authority to decide and take so to take the final decision so if you have a partner in japan you can include in the proposal so since they are not associated to horizon europe they need to guarantee funding to participate in the action in case the proposal will receive funding i hope this was clear thank you unless yes it was for me very clear thank you alessia uh then there is one question what is meant with multifunctional component needs to have more than one function all materials need some more needs to have more than one function or more than one application i'm looking now at liana thomas this is if this is meant for biomaterials yes then we can always uh for example i i can give an example in in a medical application it can be i don't know for example one healing as well as um incorporation of some sensors platforms for monitoring of of the of the one state uh so there are two functions but it's just an example and i know it's challenging but definitely there exists some possibilities for this it's rather broad it's rather broad it can cover more more properties and more application in one thank you jana then there is another question still on the topic resilience 0 1 12 even 2 one is frp pass as internal reinforcement for concrete would this be within the scope and then zero 112 has also a debate has also a question about international cooperation what does this mean i think that has actually been answered already by uh by vanessa maudio i think that has been answered for me maybe i can i can add something on this specific issue uh in the work program uh under a certain topic that have the same tax in the topic there are several of them there is a link to a stock working document of the european commission a report on the protection and enforcement of intellectual intellectual property rights in third countries and there you can find a list of countries where the safeguard of the ipr cannot be guaranteed in case so you are planning to have a participant from one of those countries you should explain how you intend to protect the um the safeguard of ipr in europe thank you alessia thank you and the link is available also on the work program text yeah yes yes under certain topic unfortunately there was a an issue uh so not all the topic at the link but there are topics where you can find so um there you can you can find the stop working document with more information on the country and the rational line thank you thank you thank you thomas there's one question about concrete now it's a very um detailed question i cannot um i cannot judge this as such on the the fiber reinforced bars uh it's it's um no i we will have to come back to this okay good good if there are no further questions let's move on to the next topic and there i give the floor now to early schmidt which will introduce a topic membranes for gas separations membranes distillation uh topic resilience zero one fourteen whole exercises us so hello back again um this is about the membranes for gas separation and membrane distillation um the topic is an um innovation action we have 21 million for this and the funding expected is 68 million so we can probably uh fund uh between around three projects for this the trs started 400 and achieved seven what we want to achieve with the the topic is um to apply this in the in industrial plans it's in context with the green deal fit for 55 and to uh to develop the next generation of membrane materials it's about that the membranes can support the recycling of waste streams in industrial plants reduce the water footprint by 10 percent and to upscale in a desalination process which is a second pathway for membrane distillation upscaling this is desalination in solar port numbering distillation systems and provide energy savings of about 10 percent the end-of-life issues have to be addressed at dominic if i can ask you to take off the camera maybe um thank you so the scope of the topic what the proposal should address is about greening the the industrial plants and to develop new and advanced generation of membrane materials and we have in principle we have two of the activities that have to be addressed um under this topic and it is basically two pathways the one is addressing in an environment an industrial environment the recovery of valuable valuable streams and components for example ammonia alcohols other organic reactants from from a process that can be an aqueous organic or a mixed system so it's basically um recovering valuable components in the waste stream of the industrial system or to separate gas streams for example under the ccu the companies are recognizing energy intensive industries and to recover for example unreacted co2 and hydrogen in this process and the other possibility is um to to have porous membranes in a mixed system of gas liquid liquid liquid for example um where we use renewable energy resources um a different pathway is the desalination um to upscale in the desalination plants to help to produce fresh water from solar powered distillation systems and to achieve a reduction of the water footprint of industrial plants um the topics have to provide the business case and exploitation strategy as in all the other project proposals as well and international cooperation is encouraged where we have a recent proper benefit so um at least two of the activities have to be addressed by the proposals and i would like to invite for questions now are we having any questions coming in via slido any questions are there any questions let's wait for a moment early the questions i'm sure i'm coming we can also collect questions at a later point because we have i think one or two more topics to present we have quite a few still to present yes so i would wait in the background to answer the later point so it seems to be no questions at this stage i suggest then that we move on to the next presentation so uh i'm looking at dominique plonshon who will now introduce the topic an innovation action building and renovating by exploiting advanced materials for energy and resource efficient management dominic's floors is yours and thanks thanks for thank you thank you jorgen could you hear me we can hear you you're clear okay that's good so i will speak about this topic which really is addressing advanced material for envelopes so it's about insulation material so the projects are expected to contribute to the the main outcomes that are uh so um like the building are uh responsible for 40 percent of the energy consumption and thirty percent of the co2 we need uh uh to renovate exist existing and old buildings and leading to a significant energy savings uh we need material that can lower the energy consumption significantly and lower the co2 emission also significantly which means uh almost uh five percent and more if possible so um the scope is really about insulation material just a minute so we are looking to materials that can have a lower embedded energy so a reduction by at least 30 percent of this embedded energy and a similar uh co2 comp at component level an improvement of at least 20 percent of the insulation properties and a reduction of at least 15 percent of the total cost compared to existing solutions uh we are looking for a real skill demonstration since it's an innovation action and this demonstration should show at least five percent reduction of the energy spent during the whole life cycle of a building and income increased durability and lifetime lower maintenance cost and environmental footprint so this should demonstrate at a real scale for current retrofitting solution using uh these new insulation materials in a real case application that for building uh for net zero energies meeting net zero energy standards and it should show also a wide replication potential um we are looking also for improvement of the quality of information from product manufacturers uh to facilitate better decision making and uh also strengthening of the competitiveness of the european construction sector in the field of green construction technologies which is really necessary so this uh the budget for the the next slide yes is around 21 million that means uh five to seven million uh per project so uh it's an innovation action so that euro should start at five and achieve around seven and of course we are looking that project will uh contribute to most of the following uh most of the outcomes that are described in the topic i encourage you to read carefully the topic text and in all details because that's really important to to really meet all expectations we have for these topics so i opened the four four questions now yeah thank you dominique for this introduction indeed let's return now to slido i just heard there are also questions still on the topic on membranes for gas separations membrane distillation so maybe we take both so if you can open your camera then as well okay stainless steel bars as internal reinforcement for concrete could this be in the topic but uh this topic is as i explained before is really about insulation advanced insulation materials so i think still stainless steel are not really in the scope thank you dominique are there other questions it's just okay in the scope it says to focus on at least two of the activities but not in the outcomes this is also related to the world there is still a second question there's no need to cover both applications and just land desalination yeah if you can take the two thank you um as said i mean we have basically two major pathways one is the the industrial separation of waste streams to recover value um valuable components the other part is is mainly on membrane distillation for this desalination it could be combined i mean you have uh in in industrial plants you have water running also under the ccus so therefore it could could be combined we see these but as two different major pathways um and um at least two of the of the scope uh bullet points that are described in the topic uh have to be addressed so that means you can combine uh for example um the recovery um of of uh valuable components together with the gas streams or you can have um upscaling of desalination within the reducing of the water footprint for example i hope this answers but i said you should at least address two of the activities you have there's a general okay okay so first of all the specific question on uh the recovery covering both applications only it's not it's not both but there are different bullet points under the scope that has to be addressed and at least two of the bullet points on the scope have to be addressed but not both applications okay a more general question may we contact the individuals that presented today concerning specific goals or can this only be accomplished through our national contact points clear preference to do it via national contact points because the national contact points also will learn from the questions and then this question the answers to these questions can also be spread to other communities yeah thank you so are there other questions no then uh if there are no further questions to dominic planchon on the topic building and renovating the innovation action then we would come to the next topic which is novel materials for super capacitor energy storage a research innovation action i welcome sophia well sophia fantasie who will introduce this topic is sophia fantasy and we have yeah hopefully sophia please go ahead good morning do you hear me do you see me we hear you we and we see you good morning ladies and gentlemen good morning jorgen so this um topic this research and innovation action on novel materials for super capacitor energy storage um the indicative budget of the call is uh 23 million uh the eu contribution per before each project it's between four and six million expected and for this type of research and innovation action you expect to start from trl3 and achieve uh tl6 um this meaning that we would like the technology to be demonstrated in a relevant industrial environment this topic really addresses the main challenges we may say that if overcome could make supercapacitors really attractive alternatives to batteries to make a difference in terms of how energy can be stored in the future so super capacitors batteries are both storage methods compared to batteries super capacitors and energy densities that are low they use also more expensive critical raw materials and today it's true supercapacitors that their variants only constitute quite a modest business but new advanced materials and this is the focus of our call have really the potential to make super capacitors competing or even becoming better than batteries and change the whole scenario so proposals submitted under this call should address the challenge for new material concepts as it is written to be used in supercapacitors to at least double the energy density of the current technologies reduce the cost and minimize or eliminate the use of critical raw materials proposals submitted under this topic should include as many other topics under this destination a business case and an exploitation strategy syringes are possible with other projects under a topic of another cluster cluster five topics topic as uh put in our context 11 demonstration of innovative forms of storage and their successful operation and integration into innovative energy systems and greed architectures so we encourage cooperation in this and also to be mentioned in the regiment project this topic is also open for international cooperation but excluding industrial competitors from countries where the safeguard of ibrs cannot be guaranteed and earlier my colleague alessia made an important point and you can find the link to arrival relevant document in our work program on this so this is for the scope what the areas that need to be covered in terms of outputs outcomes of the proposals and this call let's go briefly through them first outcome there are four main outcomes for first outcome new supercapacitors with energy densities comparable to batteries in environmentally friendly electrolytes able to recharge in a fraction of the time required for current batteries lower loss of performance over time and longer life so projects should develop novel cat super capacitors which much higher energy densities like what we have today and this would add up with other advantages that supercapacitors offer and where batteries struggle and so there is really a huge potential here and advanced materials play a crucial role second outcome expected substantial impact to energy storage system solutions for applications ranging from consumer goods to electrification of transport and reduction of emissions supercapacitors have indeed gained interest due to their unique features like high power density long life span and also wide operation range so super capacitors have really the potential to compete along with batteries in many applications so this should be shown in the projects third important impact is uh to obtain innovative management systems of super advantages well there are significant challenges in terms of for instance uniformity functional safety durability of the system of this supercapacitor pack as it works so this supercapacitor pack will require a management system to effectively monitor control and protect the different cells of the pack along core performance boundaries and this needs to be considered in the projects fourth very important impact is to establish new industrial value chains with new energy storage products tailored to meet the application requirements and development of these novel supercapacitors from novel advanced materials will entail the creation of new industrial value chains so from materials to products reducing the cost of energy limiting greenhouse emissions increasing availability and security so all this uh really impacting industry and also ultimately playing a role in realizing the industrial transition so with this summary of the core topic 24 will be happy to try to answer questions if any together with my colleague of idea hadea present here today thank you thank you sophia and thanks also for referring to our colleague from honduras which i think not mentioned in the beginning uh it's since i was also with us so now the possibility exists to ask questions via slido on this topic and understood says still also one question on the topic resilience serial 1 11 which would present for english uh they call zero one eleven okay i take that one and then others can reflect whether they have questions on the topic just on super super capacitors on just presented by sophia it's a very popular topic to realize um so the question about um the recycling of composite materials um we um we target a particular um valuable um parts of the materials and we see this um in particular for for carbon fibers um um and other um very um physically robust parts so structures it could be carbon that could be and nitrite and other fibers so the important issue is is the recycling should bring back valuable materials into the value chain and the the separation of of the matrix and the fiber is the critical part and and and there um we we uh we focus on the fibers but of course if the if the mattress is of value and can be brought back into into the the value chains um that would be an important step as well as depending on what you use in the in the um in the matrix and in the in the um composite as a matrix and what you use as as the other part so it's really about thinking about the value chains and and what you propose as a composite to propose as well the the the recycling and give the arguments why it is of value thank you already i'm looking now at slido whether there are questions also on the topics for on novel materials for super capacitor energy storage if not so fear apparently your presentation has been very clear happy but i'm happy to answer later on questions if they come via the ncps or yeah let's wait for a second still maybe i'm moving too fast no there seems to be no question at this stage okay i would send suggest sophia that we move on to the topic to the next topic it could be that further questions are coming and then we will come back to this topic the next topic would be and that we need to show the slides it's a research innovation action it's on advanced materials modeling and characterization so if we can move on with the slides okay sophia the flaws is yours and uh yeah sofia please go ahead thank you you're again and good morning ladies and gentlemen again uh so this topic is under the section materials and data cross-cutting actions so we are changing a little bit of area so advanced materials modeling and uh characterization again a research and innovation actions we will discuss what is about for these research and innovation actions the indicative budget of the call is 18 million the ec contribution per project expected is between four and six million and for these in research and innovation actions uh the project should start at the tier error three so again like my previous pronunciation so an experimental proof of concept and achieved trl5 so this times the technology is only validated in a relevant industrial environment so this topic in our program was designed um really to promote the necessary integration between the modeling and characterization to support the manufacturing industry along the value chain and this integration needs the development of common data structures the use of advanced data analysis tools very important so this topic addresses one major need of the manufacturing industry in the digital and green transition really a key driver for innovation in circularity for this industry well in short the next generation of european manufacturing in really needs further advances in both characterization techniques and computational modeling and these advances can be achieved only through the development of really innovative characterization techniques new instrumentation but responding to industrial needs so really adapted to the industrial environment this is a very important and characterization clearly impacts the reliability of metrology so the validation of measurements calibration standardization traceability but also reference materials and the modeling itself it's essential to support the materials modeling and along the value chain the complexity increases data reliability decreases so from here really the importance of obtaining reliable available shareable but also meaningful semantic data so this is really how all this fits into the industrial system and this is what the core is about the proposed work really should be equally balanced we could say among these four pillars the modeling the characterization the manufacturing and data science and all this has has to be nicely integrated scope of the proposed projects is quite extensively detailed in the context we mentioned five main areas to become to be covered let's go quickly through them so first develop a relevant range of characterization methods models and simulation tools with a clear demonstration of modeling and characterization integration and this focuses on user cases second coordinate efforts towards data documentation so with exchange procedures ontologies that can aid traceability integrity and interoperability of data seek third seek the involvement of standardization bodies for the development of standards test guidance or guidance documents fourth focus on the combination of theory of large-scale computational screening so here we are thinking about artificial intelligence machine learning schemes fifth facilitate the reuse of existing research results on model and characterization but also the uptake of new results and of course the project should contribute to the objectives of european materials characterization council and european materials modeling councils and foreseearly resources to this effect these two platforms really bring together all the relevant stakeholders in europe from research to industry uh in the areas of materials characterizations and materials modeling in terms of outcomes of outputs projects presented under this core topic are expected to contribute to the following outcomes so let's uh describe them first develop an open repository for knowledge transfer data sharing for integration between the advanced materials characterization and modeling allowing full interoperability with direct connection to manufacturing processes this we have described so very important the direct connection to manufacturing processes the manufacturing industry relies more and more on models along the value chain in particular to tackle more complex r d challenges more cross-domain to faster integrate new alternative models into existing workflows that they that are used but also to to have a faster move to new proposed workflows to executable solutions to have fast and autonomous decision making so very important for industry second outcome develop characterization techniques that are adapted to industries supporting key european technology restaurants and complement this validated and modeling tool but validated by modeling tools again really very important develop innovative characteristic techniques also new instrumentations adapted to the industrial environment third outcome enable a model based innovation process covering all stages from materials design to product development including validation characterization and life cycle assessment so really i said again further advances in characterization techniques and computational modeling along the value chain and here it's very important to stress that really go from the design of new safe and sustainable materials and processes through rapid upscaling and effective quality control during the manufacturing process next outcome increase the efficiency and effectiveness of materials and product development by reducing costs and time for product design time to market and regulatory compliance which will enable the transition to a decarbonized economy so a key aspect for the manufacturing industry is also to influence materials properties that affect product performance so fundamental role here of characterization and modeling finally um in terms of outcomes improve the handling of missing data by means of artificial intelligence and machine learning methods and our simulation of course proposals submitted under this core topic should also include a business case and exploitation strategy after the end of the action so this summary which i hope was sufficiently comprehensive and clear i'm glad to try to answer your questions or give you further clarifications on the call content thank you thank you sophia for this clear explanations um now the possibility exists to ask questions via slido while this is happening or i see the questions are coming i think one general remark we are ahead of schedule we have initially foreseen that this session closes at 1 30 but we are very advanced so we will have still two topics to be presented so it's possible that we close already at 12 30 or 12 45 just for the audience that to be aware yeah now i see various questions coming up this is the first linked to the topic sofia you have just presented where to identify the objectives of the emc emmc and maybe you explain the abbreviations for the outsiders uh okay i can start with this one the emcc is the mcc is the european materials characterization council um it is a platform a grouping of stakeholders that has originated from a cluster so a set of projects funded by our program in industrial technologies in horizon 2020 where we have put together all projects that had a clear focus on characterization for industrial needs from this original set of clusters of our program the cluster has extended including projects from many other programs with the clear objective of putting efforts together at european level avoid the application of efforts put synergies together and together um highlight the industrial needs and try to solve problems together with um its evolution uh it has been organized with council so it is managed by a management board an operational management board with key representatives from uh the characterization uh research community but also um in industry and are common workshops of common interest organized and it's um a platform that is totally uh i would say voluntary it operates without funding today and puts together all the main actors in europe interested in characterization tools for industry at the same time the european materials modeling council which has started as a cluster of projects on modeling in our program and um it operates in more or less the same way both organ and it's really focused on modeling uh both are interconnected in the way in the sense that in the operational management boards advisory boards of each there are common um representatives and because of the importance of integrating characterization and modeling they work closely together both have a very good websites where you can have you can have a look see the members how to become a member and the events roadmaps documents okay thank you sophia there are a few other questions uh as you see here uh the first one is there any other information on this caller report that may be useful as to why this is a priority advanced materials modeling and characterization yes these are available thus just the reference implies their contribution to the preparation of this topic and that's it yeah okay go ahead and say should be a member of the yeah i think um the reference we have put there is to involve these people um [Music] the uh in many many topics and areas the commission has always fostered and encouraged a clustering approach so not to work as an isolated project but to refer to similar projects in the area and to a wider community so of course we all know that the characterization community and the modeling community in europe is not that big so it's probable that when setting up a consortium there will be considerable number of uh beneficiaries there from one or the other council this is not up to us to to to to influence you or to judge the usefulness of this we are not making an evaluation of this we just ask you please to put some uh budget aside for these clustering efforts to see also what's going on at european level i would say i don't know european if you want to add something uh no but i've also javier son felix here i'm happy also to give the flow on some thank you very much for the presentations yeah just a small point to clarify because we we get many many questions on on this reference to both councils and and the reason why they are there is because this topic goes a lot into interoperability of data between modeling and characterization and these two codes uh councils have strong active activities in this direction and this is why we want that the proposals under this topic are in line with the objectives that they have um sophie already explained this and uh and how to approach it there is no need to have members from those countries in the proposal the main purpose is that the proposals try to achieve the objectives that they have and in terms of mainly on interoperability between modeling and characterization um we will add it was it has been already agreed after an faq in under this topic in horizon europe with the links to the corresponding websites of the two councils and also to documents referencing to the cada and the moda workflows yes just wanted to clarify at this point thanks thank you very useful yes well maybe you can go one for the other question yes sofia please go on yeah please go on there's one as one question particularly on the link between between the result resilience zero one zero eight on earth observation yes because i think we have answered the one there was one preceding efficiency this vital to include clusters working on modeling of materials characterization vital as partners i think um we are not here i'm going to evaluate a consortium that you want to set up it's up to you to put the relevant people in uh and also the second question the model you need to cover a wide range of materials it depends on the applications that you will consider and this you will structure your proposal so here we are happy to clarify the call content we're not able to uh make such a valuation for you so and for the other one is 119 connected with one eight and a half let me say one eight what it was um this is about earth observation yes it's the earth observation technologies for the mining life cycle support autonomy transition i think we should maybe hear the presentation of that topic yeah and see how it fits sophia i think that the topic will be discussed tomorrow it's linked to the raw materials my suggestion is that we need to assess this a little bit further uh and maybe the question once should also be raised tomorrow and the raw materials session i would suggest we look into this yeah okay that is the next where is the faq that was mentioned uh the faqs have not yet been made public we wanted to publish faqs in the light of the questions we are receiving today uh because this is also one of our other ways of responding to the questions we got and i indicated that we had a very few topics where we had to leave things open therefore our idea is to go for faqs uh which are then published on the participants portal where you find the work program are there other questions to sophia fantasy on the topic which she just presented otherwise thank you to sophia and for having an answer and then i come to open innovation test bets and this is for you thomas to take it up yes thank you union so next topic on climate neutral and circular innovative materials technologies open innovation test beds um so this uh topic will launch dedicated open innovation testbeds in the field of climate neutral and circular innovative material technologies we want to support smes to become leaders in clean production technologies so the concept of open innovation test beds was already present in horizon 2020 with this topic it's also present in horizon europe this time focusing at supporting a circular economy clean industry and reduction of greenhouse gases [Music] so the outcomes that are expected are as with the other oitbs to increase significantly the large scale deployment and demonstration of the relevant technologies in this case across sectors and single market so there is no specification on sector we want to reduce the technological risk of innovative materials and products attracting investments cut time to markets smes our main target they are supported to become these world leaders in clean products and technologies there is a focus on the creation of business opportunities and sustainability it's a very important aspect to oitbs there is also a line on the engagement with society which especially with circular economy is an important aspect and then the last bullet point focuses on the industry so how to capture their um problems and translate them into concrete solutions on the scope um [Music] of course the main item is to establish the open innovation testbeds um this can either be by upgrading existing material facilities or developing new ones and to provide services for design development testing um environmental assessment regulatory assessment in order to allow smes to upscale their ideas or their products so there is a focus on the sustainability of the ecosystem the ecosystem of the oitp by designing new funding instruments complementing existing ones of course proposals should include actions designed to facilitate cooperation with other projects so um i think this holds for all the oitb projects there is a focus on clustering in general but especially here to avoid overlap and to stimulate the complementarity open access at fair conditions of course the oitp should be open to all smes and at fair conditions and a fair cost and that's the main focus of this topic i'm happy to answer any questions thank you thomas for having introduced this topic on open innovation testbets those who may have heard about it may be aware that we had already topics on the horizon 2020 these projects are currently running so are there any questions we are looking into slider can you give more elements on what type of materials are for seen is it limited to biomaterials polymers or can it also cover metal for example the second one are the technologies mentioned and the penultimate paragraph priorities for test bench applications clean hydrogen technologies carbon capture storage and utilization thomas yes so the first question um there is um no limitation so the the focus is on the the climate neutral and the circular aspect um if um there is an innovative metal technology that fits into these topics then that is certainly not excluded the second question yeah there is indeed a mention in the penultimate paragraph on clean hydrogen technologies fuel cells carbon capture and such um it is so the answer to this question is no there is no priority this penultimate paragraph should be interpreted as there is a focus to avoid duplication and but there is no preferred preference for for dimension technologies there thank you thomas are there other questions no not at this stage okay maybe a general point then because i intend then to close this session by 12 30. i want just to confirm this because sometimes i see questions coming via slider not linked to the topics but to previous topics uh but on the other hand i would like to avoid that we are sitting there and actually no questions so the intention is to close by 12 30 at the latest um i would then ask still questions oh yeah there's a question could you please tell us at what time which topic will be covered tomorrow at least the sequence in which you will present this custom to avoid waiting a long time until our project is dealt with can you say something to this question yes where we organized um the slots of the presentations by the headings under the work program um and i mean this is um available on the on the site on of the info days tomorrow we will have one topic on improving resilience and preparedness on smes which goes for about an hour and a half and then we have another heading on raw materials which goes over two hours and um there you have to refer to the work program because in the work program you know which topics we will speak about so the topics are under the headings and the headings are mentioned in the in the timeline on on the info day web pages i hope it helps thank you and the same as for this afternoon anybody interested in in the sessions of this afternoon uh which deal mainly um with them with a climate neutral circular and digitized production because we have um um we have six headings and under those six headings and please look into the work program we have the respective topics we have 18 topics that we will talk about so if you will want to be more specific uh check out the word problem but of course we can advance or it can take more time depending on um on the questions that we receive okay i see your question what are the specifics of open innovation lab projects yes sure um so the the specific requirements for open innovation testbets um are not um are as they are in the in the topic texts but um of course under horizon 2020 there was a much more detailed uh list of requirements for open innovation testbeds and so applicants are invited to to look at the possibilities um or at the requirements as they were listed under horizon 2020 although of course the the project itself will be or the proposal will be evaluated on the horizon europe text but so to have a better understanding of or a better inspiration of what an opening duration test that could be please look at the horizon 2020 requirements thank you thomas should there be a dedicated budget for collaboration with other oitbs thomas so yeah collaboration um and and um clustering um is indeed important um it depends how you how the proposal wants to deal with this but the dedicated budget is definitely in a good option so it's an option not a requirement okay are there other questions for this topic i think you remark about the penultimate paragraph if i might say clean hydrogen technologies fuel cells and other alternative fields is very important yeah we may have to address it even with that we are an faq um you say no other questions i suggest we move on to the next topic and this will be presented by javier san felix as it's the last topic of this session this morning so it's optimized industrial systems and lines through digitalization it's innovation action i have yes your floor is yours thanks you again okay so uh here we have uh an innovation action uh on optimized industrial systems and lines through digitalization what we are trying to do with this topic is uh to support the transition towards industrial digitalization and for that here we are looking at the integration of materials modeling and process modelling so proposals are expected to contribute to the outcomes that you see on the screen and increase the speed of innovation by the use of existing research results here it's an important aspect that we want that the proposals actually look at what is already available and they make every use of these data models that that results from previous past projects but also they have to facilitate the update of new results of new project results they have to contribute to the development of digital tools for industry that enas the efficiency and product quality and they increase the capability for better and faster reaction to market changes and for that they can make use of these digital technologies cloud systems simulation based streaming technologies data driving approaches artificial intelligence and reinforced learning solutions as i said they have to contribute to the development of advanced materials modeling solution and in particular for the manufacturing industry and here again is also very important the interoperability of data and and for that they we also make they need to apply fair data principles of course and we also make reference to the modeling and cada as well as the ontologies that have been developed under the industry commons projects in uh that are already ongoing under the scope of this call as i said they need to design an expertise with simulation and optimization and reduce physical testing of the development of new materials and they have to come with case studies that provide sustainable solutions developmental performance needs to be addressed with life cycle assessment and as the rest of the topics under this section they need to come with a business case and expectation strategy at the end of the project they should achieve tr6 and this is from my side we can uh happy to address any questions thank you javier um are there any questions now we are looking into a slider whether questions are coming up what are the type of material concerned can matter be considered i would say yes the topic doesn't have any any specific target in type of material the the what the only thing that is asking under the scope is that it should be somehow contributing to sustainable solutions thank you are there any other questions to related to this topic or to other topics now it's still the opportunity okay so has two questions resilient zero one twenty five so work program and said only one project will be funded yet at the same time 50 million euros available for this topic and each project must be four to five would it be three to four projects or one i think it will be three to four players because i'm looking at the word program now and it is correct that the total budget is 15 millions and the expected contributions is four to five i don't recall on the on the reference to one only project but it should be three to four okay good thank you for this then in the calls for proposals especially resilience zero 126 of destination two all four areas have to be covered or can one or two be covered now we had resilience 126. uh that topic and result and resilience zero 126 will not be dealt with here i think it will come tomorrow if i'm not mistaken it will be dealt with tomorrow morning in the session from nine to one o'clock and it will be is the second first topic where it will be discussed this is the session improving the resilience the preparedness of eu business especially smes and and according to my time schedule this topic zero 126 will come between nine and ten o'clock just for those who ask do you consider open source project to be eligible for participation if they don't have business models i'm i'm not sure i understand open source project is a dedicated project but it's like the they built an open source approach there are two other questions javier i agree that's it's not so obvious uh our sexual vertical proposal encouraged or the better to have a cross-sectoral approach and the other one is this topic focused on advanced manufacturing also on classical manufacturing uh for the first one uh both are open that's the one that the consortium think is is more appropriate to maximize the impacts of the expected outcomes that the topic describes so there's no clear preference from us and then on the second one i would say both advanced and manufacturing the the main purpose again here is to support the digitalization of the industry by combining uh materials modeling and process modelling and then this can be applied to advanced manufacturing or classical manufacturing are there other questions related to this topic or to topics which we have presented previously that seems not to be the case so then let me come to my concluding remarks first we've shown to use a timeline so the deadline for proposals of all the topics presented today is the 30th of march 3-0 the second one we hope we have answered now most of your questions you have also the national contact points in your countries where you can ask the questions if you have not answered them today we will also consider to prepare a frequently asked question for reasons to avoid any discrimination we make this frequently asked questions this kind of answers publicly available on the participants portal and i noted a few things the one about thermal set at 300 degrees we had something one on resilience zero 112 on surface materials tool manufacturing uh and we had also one on open innovation test pads and just on the last one uh this will do as quickly as possible but please also go via the national contact points and national contact points if they don't have the answers themselves they contacted us and they make these answers also available to us that's the way forward so i would like to thank you for the active participation i'm just looking at our colleagues handling the slido there's no other question coming up no i don't see anything good then i would like to conclude this first technical session uh let me repeat that the next session will take place at two o'clock it's scheduled from two o'clock to six o'clock and it will focus on uh i think the destination one which is uh mainly on green flexible and advanced manufacturing advanced digital technologies a new way to build hubs for circularity circularity of resources integration of renewables and electrification process industries there we will resume the discussions we had those who had an interest in destination two let me repeat from nine to one o'clock since tomorrow's the session it will start with levering standardization and digital technologies the csa we have the topic on innovative transform and on pcp action on strategic digital technologies through pre-commercial procurement these things are foreseen between nine and ten and after ten o'clock it might be earlier as i start on draw materials where all the topics will be presented and can be discussed by you with the colleagues from tgrow when is the lead for this so that you get a first-hand answers thank you very much for your attention thank you very much for your interest i hope that this session was most helpful for you and i said if they're open questions governors and national contact points will also start working on a frequently asked questions a kind of answers to the questions we found relevant to be answered via the website thank you very much for your attention those who would like to follow up this afternoon we will restart again at 2 pm brussels time thank you very much and thanks of course to all the speakers thank you you
