The Partners selected through calls for proposals will carry out objective driven research activities aiming at developing new knowledge, new technologies and/or solutions that will bring a contribution to the high-level goals of the Clean Sky 2 programme, and complement actions developed and executed in the IADP/ITDs/TAs. Partners will be selected on the basis of topics launched through the calls for proposals (CfP) via the EU Participant Portal.


The topics will define the scope, goals, objectives and estimated duration of the activities to be performed by the successful applicant upon being selected as a partner. Topic descriptions will be laid down in the call text and will include, where appropriate, any special conditions related to the topic and/or specific requirements related to operational capacity required, Consortium or Implementation Agreement conditions, or prerequisite conditions to be met such as capacities needed to be compliant with the topic’s objectives and specifications.


In the selection and definition of topics, consideration will be given to the appropriate balance of lower TRL and longer-term research actions versus innovation-oriented efforts, and the leverage and supply chain access made available to SMEs.


Budget: 60.100.000 EUR.


Research and innovation actions (RIA)


EU funding rate – 100%


Activities aiming to establish new knowledge and/or to explore the feasibility of a new or improved technology, product, process, service or solution. For this purpose they may include basic and applied research, technology development and integration, testing and validation on a small-scale prototype in a laboratory or simulated environment. Projects may contain closely connected but limited demonstration or pilot activities aiming to show technical feasibility in a near to operational environment.


Innovation actions (IA)


EU funding rate – 70% (except non-profit, which are still funded 100%)


Activities directly aiming at producing plans and arrangements or designs for new, altered or improved products, processes or services. For this purpose they may include prototyping, testing, demonstrating, piloting, large-scale product validation and market replication.


Deadline: 6 February 2019, 17:00 (Brussels time).


Members of consortium are required to conclude a consortium agreement prior to the signature of the grant agreement.
