Description
-
Detailed descriptions can be found in the ECS SRIA2023.
-
Aspects of ECS value chain integration are important for the KDT programme and the whole European ECS sector, across applications and across capabilities. Consortia are encouraged to submit proposals that take this aspect into account.
-
Proposals that cut across disciplines, support platform building, interoperability, establishment of open standards are particularly encouraged; even outside the regular ECS sector.
-
Proposals shall encourage SMEs to participate in the developments, in particular paying attention to the needs of SMEs, involve SMEs in project execution, and develop solutions that can be taken up and/or exploited by SMEs
-
Proposals shall attempt to establish links with other projects and consortia from the Horizon Europe family (within cluster 4 or in other clusters) working on topics related to the proposal.
-
Note that National priorities may be applicable to specific topics (refer to Annex 4 “COUNTRY SPECIFIC ELIGIBILITY RULES” ).

In this Call the integration of the gender dimension (sex and gender analysis) in research and innovation content is not a mandatory requirement. However, proposals with activities concerning the user interaction or sensing (e.g. medical devices, consumer goods, cars with automatic driving features, ...) need to include (if relevant) considerations of how the gender dimension affects system design, and hence whether it affects the technical specifications.
Members of consortium are required to conclude a consortium agreement, in principle prior to the signature of the grant agreement.

Latest Updates
The KDT JU Work Programme 2023 has been updated as follows
Page 89-95 : Updated eligibility criteria for Belgium
Information for Participants from Hungaria to the Calls 2023:
General rule
The Council has adopted a Regulation in December 2022 on measures for the protection of the Union budget against breaches of the principles of the rule of law in Hungary: Council Decision 2022/2506.
Hungarian entities concerned by the Council Implementing Decision (EU) 2022/2506 can continue to apply to calls for proposals after the 16 December 2022.
For successfully evaluated proposals, if these measures are not lifted at the time of the grant agreement signature, (following the procedure set out by Article 7 of Regulation 2020/2092), the concerned Hungarian entities would be found ineligible to receive Union funding.
In that respect, these Hungarian entities could still participate without receiving EU funding, as associated partner, if allowed by the call conditions.
Entities concerned
Only public interest trusts established on the basis of the Hungarian Act IX of 2021 and entities maintained by them are concerned by the Council measures.All other Hungarian entities not affected by the measures can continue to apply and receive funding as beneficiaries.
