EIC Pathfinder Challenges 2024 are now open for proposals.

Published on | 5 months ago

Programmes EIC  

The Challenges from this edition are about:

Solar-to-X devices: To make progress towards synthetic fuels and chemical technologies integrating all necessary conversion steps into a single device, solely and directly driven by solar energy.

Towards cement and concrete as a carbon sink: To support breakthrough innovations and (alternative) pathways for decarbonised and carbon-negative cement and concrete.

Nature inspired alternatives for food packaging and films for agriculture: To support interdisciplinary research leading to the development and production of sustainable nature inspired alternatives for food packaging and agricultural production such as, but not limited to, greenhouse and mulch films. To replace the use of fossil-carbon-based plastics from farm to fork and thereby support EU policy ambitions to move towards a more circular, resource efficient economy.

Naoelectronics for energy efficient smart edge devices: To explore solutions that will have a drastic impact on decreasing the power consumption of any smart edge device, especially for Edge Processing and memories, Edge Sensing and Imaging, Edge Communication and Edge Power Management.

Strengthening the sustainable and resilience of EU space infrastructure: To support the development of innovations strengthening the protection of EU space infrastructure. To develop technologies for space debris mitigation and active debris removal and concepts for in-space recycling of dysfunctional orbital assets.

ROOT - Rolling Out OSNMA for the secure synchronization of Telecom networks

The ROOT project obtained funding under Horizon 2020 topic ‘EGNSS applications fostering societal resilience and protecting the environment’. The project, which ran from November 2020 to July 2022,  aimed to demonstrate the benefit of Galileo OSNMA signal to increase the robustness of critical telecom infrastructures.

The Flanders-based company Septentrio contributed substantially to completing this objective together with the other ROOT partners. The results of the project partially close a gap in the security of telecommunication networks dependent on satellite-derived time, with indirect benefits in curbing illegal attempts to disrupt network services.
