European Innovation Council (EIC) è un programma di innovazione europeo che ha lo scopo di identificare, sviluppare e ampliare tecnologie innovative e innovazioni breakthrough. L’ EIC mira quindi al sostegno integrato e agile supportando tutte le fasi dell’innovazione: dalla Ricerca e Sviluppo (R&D) sui fondamenti scientifici delle tecnologie, alla convalida e dimostrazione delle stesse. Obiettivo principale dell’EIC sarà così quello di rispondere ad esigenze reali, supportando tutto il ciclo innovativo fino alla fase di scale-up e ingresso sul mercato europeo e internazionale. Il prossimo autunno vi saranno le scadenze dei tre schemi di finanziamento EIC.

The European High Performance Computing Joint Undertaking (EuroHPC JU, https://eurohpc-ju.europa.eu/index_en) is a legal and funding entity, created in 2018 and located in Luxembourg to lead the way in European supercomputing. EuroHPC JU is a joint initiative between the EU, European countries and private partners to develop a World Class Supercomputing Ecosystem in Europe.

The EuroHPC JU allows the European Union and the EuroHPC JU participating countries to coordinate their efforts and pool their resources to make Europe a world leader in supercomputing. This boosts Europe's scientific excellence and industrial strength, supporting the digital transformation of its economy while ensuring its technological sovereignty.

The Commission has proposed an encompassing strategy to move towards EU industrial leadership in advanced materials, a key enabling technology highly relevant for the twin green and digital transition. The Communication on Advanced Materials for Industrial Leadership puts forward concrete steps enabling to align research and innovation priorities and investments in the EU, ensuring European leadership in this key technology. This initiative, eagerly anticipated by the Member States and industry, is the first step towards a common European approach for advanced materials, laying the groundwork for further action.

Advanced materials are intentionally designed and engineered materials to display superior performance or special functions, which can be developed with unprecedented speed thanks to today's scientific understanding and computing power. They are fundamental for example for innovation in energy, electronics, construction and mobility, and therefore crucial for the green and digital transition. The first list of research areas is expected to be expanded overtime in dialogue with the Technology Council to be set-up. .....

The Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) is a US tool used by government agencies for acquisition of basic and applied research. It is generally focussed on scientific studies and experimentation directed toward advancing the state-of-the-art or increasing knowledge or understanding rather than focusing on a specific system or hardware solution.

A 5-pages white paper should be first addressed to the attention of the relevant point of contact and only if approved, invited to elaborate the full proposal, as explained here:
