European Call for Proposals

The Call for Proposal ENIAC-2013-1 was published in the framework of the ENIAC Joint Undertaking. The ENIAC Joint Undertaking is a public-private partnership focusing on nanoelectronics that brings together Member/Associated States, the European Commission, and AENEAS (an association representing European R&D actors in this field). The ENIAC Joint Undertaking objective is to coordinate research activities through competitive calls for proposals to enhance the further integration and miniaturization of devices, and increase their functionalities while delivering new materials, equipment and processes, new architectures, innovative manufacturing processes, disruptive design methodologies, new packaging and ‘systemizing’ methods. It will drive and be driven by innovative high-tech applications in communication and computing, transport, health care and wellness, energy and environmental management, security and safety, and entertainment.

The priorities of this ENIAC Joint Undertaking’s call for proposals include activities related to the following fields:

- Automotive and transport

- Communications and Digital Lifestyles

- Energy Efficiency

- Health and the ageing Society

- Safety and Security

- Design Technologies

- Semiconductor Processes and Integration

- Equipment, Materials and Manufacturing

Eligible participants within this ENIAC Joint Undertaking’s call for proposal are consortia of legal entities established in one of the ENIAC Member States (Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovak Republic, Spain, Sweden and United Kingdom). The consortium, depending on the country, might include:

• Enterprises
• Research Institutions
• Universities, polytechnics and Higher Education Institutions
• Groups and Associations of Enterprises

The nature of the consortium is variable and depends on the country involved in the project.

The eligible actions that can be funded within this ENIAC Joint Undertaking’s call for proposal are projects dealing with technological research and development activities, such as formulation of technology concepts, experimental proofs and validation in laboratory conditions. A valorization and deployment plan must be included in the project proposal. 

The budget available for this ENIAC Joint Undertaking’s call for proposal is € 50 220 000. The Joint Undertaking Contribution cannot constitute more than of 15% of overall eligible project cost.

The deadline for submitting proposals in the framework of the current ENIAC Joint Undertaking’s Call for Proposals is 23 May 2013.
