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.

The submission session is now available for: HORIZON-CL4-2023-DIGITAL-EMERGING-01-32(HORIZON-RIA)


Sustainable safe-by-design 2D materials technology (RIA)

TOPIC ID: HORIZON-CL4-2023-DIGITAL-EMERGING-01-32

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-CNECT)
Type of action: HORIZON-RIA HORIZON Research and 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:

Development of Safe and Sustainable by Design two-dimensional materials (2DM) technology.
Societal acceptance of 2DM and 2DM-based technologies.
A set of robust and verified assays for toxicity and eco-toxicity testing of 2DM, to support regulatory requirements for their registration and authorisation for use (OECD test guidelines[1], REACH compliance, authorisation pathways[2])
Scope:
The increasing commercial exploitation of 2DM necessitates a comprehensive evaluation of their potential impact on human health and the environment. It is thus of utmost importance for 2DM technology development to understand the properties that underlie the potential toxicity of these materials. Since not all 2DMs are alike, it is essential to disentangle the structure-activity relationships for this class of materials.

Proposals should aim to ensure a safe development of 2DM technology and in the long term, a sustainable market entry/penetration of 2DM-based products. Proposals should comply with the Safe and Sustainable by Design framework[3] and criteria.

Multidisciplinary research and innovation activities should address all of the following:

Critical examination of 2DM health and environment issues, ranging from general toxicology, to occupational health and environmental impact.
Studies and tests of biocompatibility and safety of 2DMs and composites along their life cycle;
Development of solutions to modulate potential risks by developing appropriate chemical/physical approaches towards safer manufactured materials and nanomaterials (safe-by-design 2DMs).
Assessing the safety of 2DMs and composites at different TRL levels to develop and test best practices along the product development process, from prototypes to products tested in relevant environments in order to guarantee the highest impact possible.
Development of validation processes supporting regulatory assessment.
Proposals submitted under this topic should include an exploitation strategy, as outlined in the introduction to this Destination.

Research should build on existing standards or contribute to standardisation. Interoperability for data sharing should be addressed.

Proposals should build on or seek collaboration with existing projects and develop synergies with other relevant European, national or regional initiatives, funding programmes and platforms. In particular projects are expected to develop synergies and relate to activities and outcomes of the projects selected under the other topics of ‘Graphene and 2D materials: Europe in the lead’ and where relevant of HORIZON-CL4-2023-RESILIENCE-01-21/22/23/24.

Proposals should also cover the contribution to the governance and overall coordination of the Graphene Flagship initiative.

Proposals should indicate which chapters of the Strategic Research and Innovation Plan for chemicals and materials they will contribute to.

Proposals should consider involving, directly or indirectly, appropriate expertise in other disciplines, for example in SSH disciplines, where relevant to achieve wider societal acceptance of 2DM-based technologies.

Specific Topic Conditions:
Activities are expected to start at TRL 2-3 and achieve TRL 4-5 by the end of the project – see General Annex B.
