The first Industry 5.0 Award has been launched – an award which recognises EU funded projects that make an outstanding contribution to building a more human-centric, sustainable and resilient European industry.

This could be by developing innovative technologies, industrial or supply chain processes, new business models, and/or by advancing the understanding of human-centricity, sustainability and resilience in industry. 

Eligible projects must have obtained funding from Horizon 2020, Horizon Europe or the European Institute of Innovation and Technology. The official start date of the project must be after 31 August 2018 and the projects results should have clear application in industry.

The deadline for submission is 1 April 2022 – 17:00 CET (Brussels time).

The winner will receive communication support from the European Commission, including the preparation of a promotional video, social media publicity through Commission channels and an article in the Horizon Magazine. Finalists will be invited to the award Ceremony during the annual R&I Days in June 2022 where they will be able to exhibit their projects.

More information can be found on the dedicated website: https://ec.europa.eu/info/research-and-innovation/research-area/industrial-research-and-innovation/industry-50/award_en.

INSPIRE - Centre of Excellence on inclusive gender equality in R&I

Funded by Horizon Europe, under call topic HORIZON-WIDERA-2021-ERA-01-80, INSPIRE is Europe's Centre of Excellence on inclusive gender equality in research and innovation. It relies on four Knowledge and Support Hubs to create knowledge in the areas of sustaining change, widening participation, intersectionality and innovation. Moreover, it supports stakeholders in their journey to become more inclusive through 12 Communities of Practice. In this way, INSPIRE aims to develop both cutting-edge knowledge and innovative strategies for gender equality in the European Research Area. INSPIRE brings together 14 partners. The Belgian partner in this project is UHasselt.
