OPEN CALLS
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.
Expected duration: short-term (3 months)
Scheme: Internships projects between two different entities from two different EU Countries: one Academic/Industrial partner who act as Sending Organization and one Academic/Industrial partner who act as Host Organization. Beneficiaries
Budget: 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.
Expected duration: short-term (up to 9 months)
Scheme: Two different entities from two different EU Countries: one Academic and one Industrial or two industrials.
Budget: up to 80,000€ to cover staff, travel and equipment
CTTEs – Cross-domain Technology Transfer Experiments
Complex multidisciplinary transfers and productization of novel CLEC CPS and the IoT technologies to wider markets.
Expected duration: short-term (9 months)
Scheme: Three (3) entities from at least two different EU Countries (at least one SME; the experiment should be led by the SME)
Budget: up to 80,000 € to cover staff, travel and equipment
