We would like to draw your attention to an update of the “Detailed Budget Table” Excel template. A new template has been republished for your kind consideration and use.

An additional paragraph has been added to the instructions tab, explaining how to save the detailed budget table and how to upload it in the submission system:

“After you completed this Excel workbook, you must also complete the table ‘Budget for the proposal’ in Part A of the proposal, entering the requested EU contribution for each participant. Fill the Part A budget table using the total for each participant from the sheet ‘Lump sum breakdown’ in this Excel workbook. The format of this Excel workbook is .xlsm because it uses macros to generate sheets and make calculations automatically. Always save it as .xlsm. However, this format cannot be uploaded to the submission system for security reasons. Therefore, to submit the completed workbook, save a copy as an .xlsx or .xls document (and not as .xlsm) and upload it to the proposal submission tool at Step 5 of the submission process. Always keep a copy of the original .xlsm file. To save the workbook as .xlsx document, use the action button in the sheet “Instructions”. Alternatively, click on “File” and then “Save as”; in the “Save as” dialog box, choose “.xlsx” or “.xls” from the “Save as type” dropdown list.”

You can still use the template initially available in the submission system if you wish to, but please be aware of the instructions on how to upload and save the file.

TOPIC ID: HORIZON-CL4-2023-DIGITAL-EMERGING-01-57

Programme: Horizon Europe Framework Programme (HORIZON)
Call: Digital and emerging technologies for competitiveness and fit for the Green Deal (HORIZON-CL4-2023-DIGITAL-EMERGING-01)
Type of action: HORIZON-IA HORIZON Innovation Actions
Type of MGA: HORIZON Lump Sum Grant [HORIZON-AG-LS]
Deadline model: single-stage
Opening date: 08 December 2022
Deadline date: 29 March 2023 17:00:00 Brussels time

ExpectedOutcome:
Projects are expected to contribute to the following outcomes:

The development of next generations sensory systems based on photonic technologies
Technology leadership in autonomous vehicles, robots and sensory systems; Growth in a number of strategic industries such as medical devices, automotive, manufacturing, agriculture & food, security of large added value which are in Europe.
Contribution to the Digital Green deal policy and/or to the technological sovereignty of Europe.
Scope:
Innovative hardware and software approaches, or to explore novel techniques with potential to outperform the current standards.

The projects should demonstrate the technology in the form of complete function (or building blocks) showing feasibility for future industrialisation.

It should address the following sectors:

Automotive, where detection of pedestrians, obstacles and other vehicles at long distance is required in order to safely prepare the reaction of the vehicle in all weather conditions;
Safety and security, where fast reconnaissance and identification of collaborative or non-collaborative targets and surveillance of infrastructures are required;
Industry, where imaging can be used for logistics and inspection and analysis of safety and quality control of processes or produced goods;
Health, where minimally and non-invasive spectroscopic and biophotonic imaging and sensing techniques enable diagnosis, screening, monitoring and treatment of a patient, possibly including augmented reality (AR) visualization;
Agriculture and food, where spectroscopic imaging and sensing enables non-destructive measurement/monitoring of plants and crops and plant nutrients during production and post-harvest (e.g., phenotyping); this allows fast interactions/adjustments and enables monitoring of plant materials and food products along the entire production chain for quality and safety aspects.
Technologies covering more than one application sectors above are encouraged, such as:

Long range, high speed, eye-safe imaging for automotive, security, and industrial systems
Imaging in presence of obscurants for medical, automotive, manufacturing, agriculture, food and security, spectroscopic imaging and sensing for medical, environmental, agriculture, food monitoring and security.
This topic implements the co-programmed European Partnership Photonics.

Specific Topic Conditions:
Activities are expected to start at TRL 3 and achieve TRL 6-7 by the end of the project – see General Annex B.
