SMART4ALL

SMART4ALL will identify 67 (External) Pathfinder Application Experiments (PAEs) through three Types of Open Calls with three different deadlines, addressing the prioritized verticals of Digitized Transport, Digitized Agriculture, Digitized Environment and Digitized Anything.

  • KTEs – Knowledge Transfer Experiments: A novel type of experiments allowing smaller projects, or less mature ideas to be presented, tested and thus potentially find the fertile ground to grow and reveal its product potentials. KTEs act as internships / traineeships, apprenticeships and short-term training programmes for unemployed people for vacant digital jobs with a budget of up to 8,000€ to cover mobility allowance for implementing the internship.
  • FTTEs – Focused Technology Transfer Experiments: Within this type of experiments, one party transfers to the receiving partner a specific HW or SW technology in order to enable improved product or processes. The budget of this type is up to 80,000€ to cover staff, travel and equipment

The first open call of this type will open in June 2020.

  • CTTEs – Cross-domain Technology Transfer Experiments: Complex multidisciplinary transfers and productization of novel CLEC CPS and the IoT technologies to wider markets with a budget of up to 80,000 € to cover staff, travel and equipment

The first open call of this type will open in December 2020

Each experiment will be supported with novel coaching services from world lead experts in ethics, technology, funding and business development. For further information please click here.

About Knowledge Transfer Experiments (KTEs)

KTEs are novel type of experiments allowing smaller projects, or less mature ideas to be presented, tested and thus potentially find the fertile ground to grow and reveal its product potentials. KTEs act as internships / traineeships, apprenticeships and short-term training programmes (3 months). KTEs are between two different entities from two different Countries: one Academic/Industrial partner who acts as Sending Organization and one Academic/Industrial partner who acts as Host Organization.

KTE proposals have to target the exchange of knowledge of CLEC for CPS and IoT, in one of the following domains:

  • Digitized Transport
  • Digitized Environment
  • Digitized Agriculture
  • Digitized Anything

COVID-19 crisis

SMART4ALL through its Open Calls will pay special attention to CLEC (Customized Low Energy Computing) applications facilitating COVID-19 management crisis and all aspects of life focusing on its four verticals, i.e. Digitized Transport, Digitized Environment, Digitized Agriculture and Digitized Anything. In order to ensure that innovative solutions for attacking this crisis will be properly attended, experiments that are related to these issues are going to be evaluated positively. Specifically, during the evaluation process, open call submissions that are related to SMART4ALL domains and are addressing current and future problems stemming from the COVID-19 crisis will be awarded with 1 extra point in their overall evaluation score.
