Top 10 Funding Opportunities:

ISOS Pilot Mission Detailed Design – HOST Component

The strategic objective of this topic is to develop capabilities to ‘Act in Space’ through demonstrating in space a pilot mission by 2030 related to ISOS. The selected project is expected to contribute to outcomes including, but not limited to, a sustainable, highly automated, flexible and economically viable space infrastructure, building on technologies and concepts for a circular economy in space, e.g. plug-and-play spacecraft functionality introducing recycling/re-use of spacecraft modules/functionalities.

Challenge-Driven GenAI4EU Booster (RIA) (AI/Data/Robotics Partnership)

Projects supported under this topic are expected to contribute to outcomes including, but not limited to, significant technology progress and innovation through challenge-driven approach in the fields of aerospace, pharma/drug development or telecommunication networks.

ISOS Pilot Mission Detailed Design – Servicing Component

The strategic objective of this topic is to develop capabilities to ‘Act in Space’ through demonstrating in space a pilot mission by 2030 related to ISOS. Projects are expected to contribute to outcomes including, but not limited to, a sustainable, highly automated and digitalised, flexible and economically viable space infrastructure, building on technologies and concepts for a circular economy in space, e.g. plug-and-play spacecraft functionality introducing recycling/re-use of spacecraft modules/functionalities.

ISOS Pilot Mission Detailed Design – Logistics Component

The project supported under this topic are expected to contribute to outcomes including, but not limited to, a sustainable, highly automated, flexible and economically viable space infrastructure, building on technologies and concepts for a circular economy in space, e.g. plug-and-play spacecraft functionality introducing recycling/re-use of spacecraft modules/functionalities.

Developing and Embedding Upcycling Technologies into Viable Business (Processes4Planet Partnership) (IA)

Proposals submitted under this topic are expected to contribute to outcomes including, but not limited to, developing processes for the upcycling of end-of-life materials in an integrated way, including the development of better novel separation, sorting and processing technologies as well as digitalisation and automation of the processes as necessary.

Supporting the AI/ML Digital Transition of Copernicus Services

The project supported under this topic is expected to contribute to outcomes including, but not limited to, integrated AI/ML strategy across Copernicus Services, value chains and workflows.

Open Internet Stack: Development of Technological Commons/Open-Source 3C Building Blocks

The project supported under this topic is expected to contribute to outcomes including, but not limited to, a publicly available and operational stack of strategic commons focusing on internet technologies for trust, transactions, connectivity, and decentralisation implementing the European vision of next generation digital infrastructures, in particular the 3Cs networks (in close cooperation with the 3Cs large scale pilots), and the wider Web 4.0.

Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) Evolution: New and Innovative Processing and Methods for Future Sentinels and other Satellites for Reanalyses

The project supported under this topic is expected to contribute to outcomes including, but not limited to, innovative methods to prepare and pre-process observational input for Earth-system reanalysis datasets, including the Copernicus Sentinel missions, which will lead to an increase in the use of observations for Earth-system reanalysis.

Digital Solutions for Autonomy for Space Transportation Systems, Design and Simulation Tools – Targeting Demonstration

Projects supported under this topic are expected to contribute to outcomes including, but not limited to, the ability to identify and locate structural damage remotely (like cracks, corrosion, delamination or structural weakening) within the transportation systems before it leads to significant failure.

Development of Safe and Sustainable by Design Alternatives to Perfluoroalkyl and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) (IA)

Projects supported under this topic are expected to contribute to outcomes including, but not limited to, making safer and more sustainable alternatives to per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) available to industries offering products with targeted performances supporting their competitiveness.
