About this programme
This cluster will try to stimulate European growth in the key areas of digital, industry & space and make sure most of its future production (entire value chain) will be happening in the EU so the member states become less dependent of third countries. Increased sustainability of the delivered products is at the heart of these efforts.
As a result, actions under this cluster will support key enabling technologies that are strategically important for Europe’s industrial future. They have selected 6 focus areas or destinations that reflect these strategic domains:
- Climate neutral circular and digitized production
- Increased autonomy in key strategic value chains for resilient industry
- World leading data and computing technologies
- Digital and emerging technologies for competitiveness and fit for the Green Deal
- Open strategic autonomy in developing, deploying and using global space-based infrastructures, services, applications and data
- A human-centered and ethical development of digital and industrial technologies.
Areas of activity
- Manufacturing technologies
- Advanced materials
- Next generation internet
- Circular industries
- Space, including Earth Observation
- Emerging enabling technologies
- Key digital technologies, including quantum technologies
- Artificial Intelligence and robotics
- Advanced computing and Big Data
- Low-carbon and clean industry

PBNv2 - a MSCA ITN in the field of automotive R&D
The Marie Skłodowska-Curie Action (MSCA) European Innovative Training Network “PBNv2 - Next generation Pass-By Noise approaches for new powertrain vehicles” started in May 2017. Their research has the shared objective of investigating the possibilities to decrease pass-by noise of vehicles.
The project is a collaboration between 17 research institutions and companies in the European automotive R&D and provides a learning environment for 14 PhD fellows. The Belgian partner is the Noise and Vibration Research Group of KU Leuven, and this project is one of the many Horizon 2020 MSCA Innovative Training Networks that the KU Leuven research group participates in.
