With this call for proposals, we want to finance planning projects for Swedish actors so that they can turn their project ideas into competitive applications for the Horisont Europas work program. This offer is one of several new initiatives in Vinnova's priority area Sustainable industry. This means that the project results are expected to contribute to one or more of Sustainable industry long-term impact goals: Climate-neutral and circular production, Resource-efficient and resilient value chains, Global competitiveness and A socially sustainable industry.
Swedish industry has the potential to lead the transition to sustainability, both within and outside the country's borders. The transition requires efforts that combine resources and competencies from different disciplines, technology areas and areas of knowledge. Vinnova wants to strengthen Swedish players' opportunities to participate in Horisont Europas calls in the area of Sustainable industry.
With this call for proposals, we want to finance planning projects for Swedish actors so that they can turn their project ideas into competitive applications for the Horisont Europas work program.
Horisont Europa, the EU's new framework program for research and innovation, which started in January 2021, aims to combat climate change, contribute to meeting the goals of sustainable development, and increase the EU's competitiveness. Participation in Horisont Europa can provide conditions for Swedish organizations to strengthen their positions in the global innovation front, and thereby achieve a critical mass to drive the industry's transformation through collaboration with other European actors
The announcements and "topics" within Horisont Europa that will be relevant will be published in connection with the announcement opening. The topics covered in Vinnova's area Sustainable industry are judged to be mainly parts of clusters “Digital, Industry and Space”, but also clusters “Climate, Energy and Mobility” and “Food, Bioeconomy, Natural Resources, Agriculture and Environment”, within pillar 2 “Global Challenges and European Industrial Competitiveness”.
At the first application opportunity that closes on June 23, it will be possible to apply for planning projects for announcements within Horisont Europa that close in 2021. The latter occasions are intended for announcements that close in 2022. Please note that dates are preliminary.
