Tema di ricerca: Resource-efficient eco-innovative food production and processing eco-innovative food production and processing (SFS-08-2014-1).

Indicato per: PMI in grado di sviluppare produzioni e processi nel “food system” innovativi e orientati a una maggiore efficienza. 

Agevolazione: I Fase: 50 mila Euro forfettari; II Fase: contributo a fondo perduto fino al 70% delle spese ammissibili.

Tipologia: SME Instrument.

Scadenza per la presentazione delle domande: Bando aperto. Scadenze 2014: 24/09/2014; 17/12/2014 I Fase; 9/10/2014; 17/12/2014 Seconda Fase.

Obiettivo e impatto atteso: this topic is addressed to develop more resource-efficient and hence sustainable food production and processing throughout the food system at all scales of business in a competitive and innovative way. Expected impact: enhancing profitability and growth performance of SMEs; market uptake and distribution of innovations tackling the specific challenge of Sustainable Food Security in a sustainable way; increase of private investment in innovation, notably leverage of private co-investor and/or follow-up investments.

Ambiente: Clima, efficienza delle risorse e materie prime

Tema di ricerca: New metallurgical systems

Indicato per: imprese in grado di sviluppare nuovi sistemi che massimizzino il recupero di metalli della produzione riducendo al minimo il consumo energetico e l'impatto ambientale e assicurando nel contempo la sostenibilità economica dell'intero processo.

Agevolazione: contributo a fondo perduto sino al 100% delle spese ammissibili.

Tipologia: Research and innovation actions. È necessario un partenariato per poter accedere a questa opportunità.

Scadenza per la presentazione delle domande: 10 marzo 2015

Obiettivo e impatto atteso: the objective of this action is to develop a design and elements of an integrated sustainable metallurgical system for metals processing and refining, maximising metal recovery yield and minimising energy consumption and the environmental footprint, while ensuring the economic viability of the entire process. Upstream and down-stream interfaces should also be considered. Expected impact: in the longer term pushing the EU to the forefront in the areas of sustainable exploration, mining and processing technologies and solutions. Improved competitiveness and creation of added value and new jobs in materials producing and downstream industries. Unlocking a substantial volume of various raw materials within the EU. In the short to medium term enabling the better efficiency of exploitation of raw materials’ resources and increasing the range and yields of recovered raw materials. Reduced exploration costs for the industry through new cost-effective exploration technologies. Improved competitiveness and creation of numerous new jobs in mining and equipment manufacturing industries. Improved economic viability and investment security of mining operations. Increased process efficiency and reduced environmental footprint. Contribution to achieving the objectives of the EIP on Raw Materials..

Energia

Tema di ricerca: Demonstration of renewable electricity and heating/cooling technologies

Indicato per: aziende impegnate nello sviluppo di tecnologie innovative nell’ambito delle energie rinnovabili, in grado di migliorarne le performances prestazionali, diminuire i costi e la complessità al fine di renderle più sicure e diffonderne l’utilizzo.

Agevolazione: contributo a fondo perduto sino al 70% delle spese ammissibili (100% per enti no profit).

Tipologia: Innovation Actions. È necessario un partenariato per poter accedere a questa opportunità.

Scadenza per la presentazione delle domande: 10 settembre 2015

Obiettivo e impatto atteso: this topic is focused on: photovoltaics; Concentrated Solar Power (CSP); wind energy; ocean energy; renewable Heating and Cooling. Proposals shall explicitly address performance and cost targets together with relevant key performance indicators and expected impacts. Industrial involvement in the consortia and explicit exploitation plans are a prerequisite. All proposals will have to include a work package on ’the business case’ of the technology solution being addressed. Expected impact: bringing costs of renewable energy down by increasing technology performance, decreasing costs of production, installation time and costs, decreasing of operation and maintenance costs, and increasing reliability and lifetime; reducing life-cycle environmental impact; improving EU energy security; making variable renewable electricity generation more predictable and grid friendly; increasing the attractiveness of renewable heating and cooling technologies by improving cost-competitiveness, reducing complexity and increasing reliability; nurturing the development of the industrial capacity to produce components and systems and opening of new opportunities; strengthening the European industrial technology base, thereby creating growth and jobs in Europe; contributing to solving the global climate and energy challenges.

Trasporti intelligenti, ecologici e integrati

Tema di ricerca: Next generation of competitive Li-ion batteries to meet customer expectations

Indicato per: imprese in grado di competere nello sviluppo di batterie agli ioni di litio per colmare le carenze delle auto elettriche rispetto alle auto convenzionali, migliorando il consumo di energia a livello di generatore di almeno il 20%.

Agevolazione: contributo a fondo perduto sino al 70% delle spese ammissibili (100% per enti no profit).

Tipologia: Innovation Actions. È necessario un partenariato per poter accedere a questa opportunità.

Scadenza per la presentazione delle domande: 28 agosto 2014

Obiettivo e impatto atteso: this topic is focused on pursue the optimisation of the electrochemistry to hone parameters critical to customer acceptance: cost, safety aspects, resistance to high-power charging, durability, recyclability and the impact of hybridisation with other types of storage systems (e.g. ultracapacitors), as well as consideration of scale-up for manufacturing. In addition, better knowledge on the ageing mechanism and its modelling are needed in order to support test procedures and the development of standards. In line with the Union's strategy for international cooperation in research and innovation[1] international cooperation to establish world-level standard is encouraged. Expected impact: Research and innovation activities will bring European industry to a stronger position on the world market making it possible to launch new production in Europe while at the same time addressing the shortcomings of electric cars as compared to conventional cars (e.g. cost and weight reduction, safety, reliability, longevity and fitness for charging under real world conditions). The proposed solutions should demonstrate industrial scale prototypes improving cell-level energy densities by at least 20%, and costs by 20%, with respect to the best cell chemistries currently on the market.
