Description
Project results are expected to contribute to all the following outcomes:
- Structuring of the Sustainable Nuclear Energy Technology Platform (SNETP) activities and consolidation of networks in the different technology areas covered by the Euratom Research and Training Programme 2021-2025, focusing on non-power applications (cf. medical applications of ionising radiation and improvement of optimisation of protection in this domain);
- Integration of the different energy roadmaps (nuclear and non-nuclear) by fostering collaboration between European Technology Platforms to address cross-sectorial challenges, including integration of NPPs in low-carbon and smart energy systems in order to complement the achievement of Horizon Europe’s objectives inter alia in the context of the energy transition;
- Integration of SNETP in the Horizon Europe activities, with special emphasis on non-power applications, education and training. Cross-cutting actions to maximize the societal benefits of nuclear and radiation technologies should be identified;
- Dissemination of the platform's activities to the policy-makers and stakeholders, including stakeholders beyond power generation;
- Facilitating cooperation between projects across Europe in order to ensure the accessibility and reusability of produced data.
SNETP is a European Technology Platform (ETP) that supports and promotes the safe, reliable and efficient operation of nuclear systems. Rapidly developing non-power applications of ionising radiation in health, agricultural, industrial and space sectors call for long-term efforts to reduce safety risks and support the development of safe nuclear technologies and optimal radiation protection.
In this context, SNETP should continue in 2021-2025 integrate research and innovation in nuclear safety at European level but also stimulate innovation in nuclear technologies going beyond their traditional areas of implementation as they can play a vital role in improving standards of living and health in European Union.
The Euratom funding will be devoted to specific studies, data collection, analysis and workshops for the further development of technology roadmaps, implementation plans and deployment strategies as well as to the dissemination of the platform activities to the various stakeholders. Due attention should be given to the integration of the different energy roadmaps (nuclear and non-nuclear). Activities should aim at fostering collaboration between ETPs to address cross-sectorial challenges between nuclear and non-nuclear energy sources with special emphasis on materials, digital including Artificial Intelligence, medical and other non-power applications of ionising radiation.
This action will support SNETP to structure its activities and orient them towards non-power applications. It will allow the consolidation of sustainable networks in the different technology areas covered by Euratom Research and Training Programme and enable cooperation with other ETPs and similar stakeholder’s fora. It will support reorientation of SNETP towards more interconnected activities with other sectors, in particular health, both in terms of contents and implementation mechanisms. In addition, it should help nuclear scientists to be closer integrated in relevant Horizon Europe actions (cf. Europe’s Beating Cancer Action Plan and Cancer Mission), and hence help disseminating the platform's activities to the policy-makers and stakeholders beyond power generation.
Proposal should include actions designed to facilitate cooperation with other projects across Europe, and to ensure the accessibility and reusability of data produced in the course of the projects. The proposal should also include a financial and sustainability plan for continuation of activities beyond the duration of the funded action. Secretariat and other running costs of SNETP are not eligible for funding under this action.
The indicative project duration is 3 years.
Eligibility & Conditions
Conditions
Conditions
1. Admissibility conditions: described in General Annex A (Admissibility) of Euratom WP 2021-2022
Proposal page limits and layout: described in Part B of the Application Form available in the Submission System. For CSA the limit for a full application is 30 pages. Please strickly abide by this page limit. Extension of proposal template by annexes is only allowed to describe specific issues (Financial support to third parties, Clinical trials and Calls flagged as security sensitive). The proposal is a self-contained document. Experts will be instructed to ignore hyperlinks or other information that is specifically designed to expand the proposal, thus circumventing the page limit.
2. Eligible countries: described in General Annex B (Eligibility) of Euratom WP 2021-2022
Eligible non-Euratom countries: Please note that as of the date of the publication of this call, there were no countries as yet associated to the Euratom Programme 2021-2025. Currently only Ukraine and United Kingdom are expected to become associated to Euratom programme, therefore entities established in those two countries will be treated as entities established in an Associated Country.
Please see the Horizon Europe Programme Guide for up-to-date information on the current list of and the position for Associated Countries.
3. Other eligibility conditions: described in General Annex B (Eligibility) of Euratom WP 2021-2022
4. Financial and operational capacity and exclusion: described in General Annex C (Financial and operational capacity and exclusion) of Euratom WP 2021-2022
- Submission and evaluation processes: described in General Annexes E (Documents) and F (Procedure) of Euratom WP 2021-2022 and the Online Manual
- Award criteria, scoring and thresholds: described in General Annex D (Award criteria) of Euratom WP 2021-2022
- Indicative timeline for evaluation and grant agreement: described in General Annex F (Procedure) of Euratom WP 2021-2022
6. Legal and financial set-up of the grants: described in General Annex G (Legal and financial set-up of grant agreements) of Euratom WP 2021-2022
