Description
Although the responsibility for conducting individual performance assessments and CBAs lies with the SESAR 3 projects, there is a need for the SESAR 3 JU to engage in a continuous process of performance evaluation to ensure that it is moving towards the performance ambitions specified in the European ATM Master Plan. This includes being able to assess and provide a consolidated view of the performance impact of future ATM concepts and solutions at ECAC network level, bringing together a bottom-up view of performance of the matured solutions with a top-down view of network performance.
Scope:The SESAR performance management process steers the overall R&I work, with reference to the SESAR performance ambitions specified in the European ATM Master Plan. It is based on the application of the SESAR performance framework. The SESAR performance management process reconciles and maps the performance assessments and results delivered by the R&I projects with the SESAR performance ambitions. It also ensures aggregating these results through the simulation of the relevant SESAR Solutions with the dual objective of delivering an ECAC-wide performance view and supporting for deployment, the development of the Master Plan level 3 implementation objectives based on these aggregated performance simulation results.
To achieve the expected outcomes, the activities to be performed under the leadership of the SESAR 3 JU will focus on the following areas.
- Performance framework:
- maintain reference methods and performance framework (upon the explicit request of the SESAR 3 JU);
- if required, train and coach R&I project staff to ensure the correct application of the performance methodologies;
- at the request of the SESAR 3 JU, contribute to solutions maturity gates to confirm that a robust performance approach based on the methodology has been applied by the projects.
- Performance assessment and network impact assessment:
- capture and aggregate the performance assessments delivered (for completed R&I) and planned to be delivered (for R&I in progress) by R&I projects;
- run integrated simulation on multiple SESAR Solutions, duly replicating observed real-world operational environments to assess the impact that they could have at network level;
- maintain a dashboard showing actual versus planned network performance impact enabled by SESAR 3 JU work programme delivery.
Eligibility & Conditions
General conditions
2. Eligible countries: described in Annex B of the Work Programme General Annexes
A number of non-EU/non-Associated Countries that are not automatically eligible for funding have made specific provisions for making funding available for their participants in Horizon Europe projects. See the information in the Horizon Europe Programme Guide.

4. Financial and operational capacity and exclusion: described in Annex C of the Work Programme General Annexes
The evaluation committee might be composed partially by representatives of EU institutions and agencies (internal experts).
To ensure a balanced portfolio, grants will be awarded to applications not only in order of ranking but at least also to those that are the highest ranked within set topics, provided that the applications attain all thresholds.
- Award criteria, scoring and thresholds are described in subsection 2.2.4 of the BAWP 2022-2023
The following additions to the general award criteria apply:
Weighting per criteria as per WP objectives
Excellence : 40%
Impact: 40%
Implementation: 20%
- Submission and evaluation processes are described in Annex F of the Work Programme General Annexes and the Online Manual

- Indicative timeline for evaluation and grant agreement: described in Annex F of the Work Programme General Annexes
Beneficiaries will be subject to the following additional dissemination obligations:
- Beneficiaries must make proactive efforts to share on a royalty free basis, in a timely manner and as appropriate, all relevant results with the other grants awarded under the same call.
- Beneficiaries must acknowledge and incorporate these obligations in the proposal, outlining the efforts they will make towards meeting them, and in Annex I to the Grant Agreement.
Beneficiaries will be subject to the additional exploitation obligations:
For the purpose of complying with the objectives set in the Regulation 2021/2085, the SRIA and the European ATM Master plan, beneficiaries must:
- make available for re-use under fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory conditions all relevant results generated in the action, through a well-defined mechanism, in trusted repositories;
- in case the purpose of the specific identified measures to exploit the results of the action is related to standardisation, grant the non-exclusive licence to the results royalty-free;
- in case on linked actions, ensure mutual access to the background and to the results of on-going and closed linked actions, should this be needed for implementing tasks under the linked action(s) or for exploiting results generated by the linked action(s) as defined in the conditions laid down by this (bi)annual work programme and by the call for proposals.
Beneficiaries must acknowledge and incorporate these obligations in the proposal, outlining the efforts they will make towards meeting them and in Annex I to the Grant Agreement.
