The smart tool for EU proposal drafters and grant writers CallforEurope is a consultancy that provides for professional information and assistance on European Policies, Programmes and Public Calls. Our mission is to support transparent knowledge and easy access to all of the opportunities offered by EU Programmes. We think that giving fresh information on such themes is a valid lever for boosting European Union integration.
Our support is intended to: • offer technical information on how to access to and manage EU grants and projects; • make people find new transnational partnerships throughout Europe; • stimulate public debate on how to access to EU funds. Our ambition is to serve as a technical resource center. We want to serve primarily those that usually work on writing applications and
managing projects through European funding. Call them “Euro-drafters” or “Euro-experts”: in any case, their activity demands high specialization and a constant updating on European policies, programs and public calls. Our service is intended for them but also for any private, public and not-for-profit organization interested to European programmes and funds.
If you want more information on our services, please drop a line at call4europe@gmail.com visit us at https://call-for-europe.org subscribe to our newsletter at https://www.call-for-europe.org/newsletter

Improved access to fighting crime and terrorism research data
call synopsis Horizon Europe - Cluster 3 - Destination 1: Better protect the EU and its citizens against Crime and Terrorism
Administration
European Commission
Objective
The relevant community (researchers, practitioners, industry, policy makers) is made aware of the legal, ethical and technical pre-requisites that a European common research training and testing data repository in the area of fighting crime and terrorism should fulfil (e.g., by defining how it should be organised or which characteristics it should have), which would include latest technology developments and allow for adaptations as technologies progress, while taking into account ethical rules of operation and fundamental rights (including privacy and data protection) as well as cost-benefit considerations that have to be made in the context of proportionality in strict sense (as a step to assess the lawfulness of a measure interfering with the fundamental rights); The corresponding technical, legal and ethical basis for such a training and testing fighting crime and terrorism research data repository is set, that would allow for its creation in a subsequent step; Security practitioners are provided with an increased interoperability and improved (crossborder) exchange of data thanks to harmonised data file formats across Europe, which would easily take into account technological evolutions, i.e. be adaptable in time; Improved anonymisation and pseudonymisation technologies, including other security measures, such as masking and unmasking technologies to facilitate data management in this context, ensuring full access to the data actually needed (in line with the necessity and proportionality principle), as well as taking into account all applicable legislation and fundamental rights.
Eligible Activities
The aim of this topic is to tackle this multi-layered issue and set the basis for such a common data repository by creating a roadmap consisting of a clear set of rules, conditions and characteristics that such a repository should have, be it the variety of the data in function of the type and of the problem at hand, legal issues, avoidance of any bias, accessibility levels related to the sensitivity of various data sets, harmonisation of data formats, solutions for annotation as well as for the aging of the data, etc.

Democratic politics in the EU’s neighbourhood
BACK TO INDEX
call synopsis Programme
Horizon Europe
Administration
European Commission
Objective
Projects should contribute to at least two of the following expected outcomes: Comprehensive stocktaking of developments over the last decade, so that the European Union’s democracy support efforts can both regain traction and be revamped where necessary. Development of an improved policy toolkit for supporting liberal democracy in the European Union’s neighbourhood, paving the way for more stability and cooperation. Evidence base for the mid-term review of the implementation of the Action Plan for Human Rights and Democracy 2020-2024. Reflection on the European Union’s aspiration and role in supporting democracy in its neighbourhood.
Eligible Activities
Proposals are expected to address some of the following points: To take stock of developments in democracy building or failure in the EU’s neighbourhood countries. Research should draw lessons as regards success factors and barriers (political, economic, social, cultural, etc.) in the different regional, national and supranational contexts. The role of third country actors like the United States of America, China, Russia and their impact on democratisation processes or the entrenchment of authoritarianism should be examined. Similarly, the interplay of security and stability considerations and democratisation support in the EU’s agenda and actions should be analysed. Proposals should also assess the mechanisms the EU uses to support political change, as well as examine the discourses and narratives it employs and the actors it targets. They are expected to collect reliable and comparable data on funding for democracy, human rights, gender equality, the rule of law and good governance support, in order to build an account of the outcomes of a decade’s efforts, and thus facilitate learning and improvement. International cooperation with partners from countries in the EU’s neighbourhood is strongly encouraged.
Eligible Applicants
any legal entity (including natural persons) or group of legal entities established in an EU Member State or in a country associated to Horizon Europe.

Fostering a just transition in Europe
BACK TO INDEX
call synopsis
Programme
Horizon Europe
Administration
European Commission
Objective
A better understanding of the distributional repercussions of the transition to climate neutrality across sectors, social groups, countries, regions, cities, and in the labour market that will help implement the commitment to “leaving nobody behind”. A better understanding of the trade-offs and synergies between climate action, climate-change impacts and equity and justice considerations, such as social inequality, gender equalities, as well as their interaction with other transformations that underpin the transition to climate neutrality. Addressing procedural justice concerns in the transition to carbon neutrality, via deeper and more consequential involvement of stakeholders from all parts of society in the transition process, for instance via co-design and co-production processes, social innovations, citizen science, user-led innovation type activities, or upstream multi-stakeholder debates or mechanisms for citizen deliberation and engagement. New scientific evidence to inform EU, national and regional policies in designing inclusive, socially fair, gender-sensitive and economically viable transition plans and post-COVID recovery packages that take due care of the most affected regions, cities, sectors and parts of society, including vulnerable individuals and households. Increased societal and political acceptance for climate transition strategies, including renewable energy projects and more sustainable mobility concepts, based on greater involvement of those most affected, leading to better capacity for co-designing policy frameworks that enhance inclusiveness while minimising adverse distributional effects and inequalities.
Eligible Activities
Actions should enhance the understanding of the challenges of the “just transition” to climateneutral and environmentally sustainable economies and societies, as envisaged in the European Green Deal and Next Generation EU. They should analyse various dimensions of inequality arising from climate change impacts, climate policies and transition pathways including their distributional implications associated with changes in GDP, industrial competitiveness and trade, employment and skills, taxation, incomes and wealth, vulnerabilities and human health, structure of sectors, business models and relative prices etc. Further equity aspects associated with climate change impacts and climate policy, such as differential vulnerabilities as well as intergenerational fairness or justice should also be studied, taking into consideration social and geographic circumstances and paying due attention to most vulnerable parts of the society (poor, elderly, persons with disabilities, children, migrants etc.). The gender dimension should also be explored. Research should integrate learnings from the COVID-19 pandemic in terms of the evolution of inequality in Europe and analyse potential implications for climate action and green recovery.

Objective
Project results are expected to contribute to both of the following outcomes: Consolidation of strong and sustainable networks in the different technology areas covered through the Strategic Energy Technology (SET) Plan and its integrated roadmap. Cooperation among ETIPs and similar stakeholders fora, support to existing SET Plan Implementation Plans and advancement towards more interconnected activities, both in terms of contents and implementation mechanisms.
Eligible Activities
In 2015, the launch of the Energy Union saw the SET Plan incorporated as the Energy Union’s fifth pillar on ‘Research, Innovation and Competitiveness’. Through the Communication “Towards an Integrated Strategic Energy Technology (SET) Plan”, the Integrated SET Plan set ambitious R&I targets which remain relevant and essential in the new context of the European Green Deal and the Recovery Plan for Europe. Depending on the sector, European Technology and Innovation Platforms (ETIPs), and/or SET Plan Implementation Working Groups (IWG) and/or similar stakeholders fora support the development and implementation of the SET Plan R&I priorities by bringing together relevant stakeholders in key areas from industry, research organisations and, where applicable, SET Plan Countries’ government representatives. They develop research and innovation agendas and roadmaps, industrial strategies, analysis of market opportunities and funding needs, understanding of innovation barriers and exploitation of research results, which are in line with the Recovery Plan for Europe and latest EU climate and energy related policies. They also provide consensus-based strategic advice to the SET Plan initiative covering technical and non-technological aspects. Considering the overarching aim of the clean energy transition, ETIPs, IWGs and/or similar fora are encouraged to align and coordinate their activities, defining cross-cutting aspects for accelerating the clean energy transition and contribute to the development of a European Research Area in the field of Energy. Proposals should support ETIPs and/or IWGs and/or stakeholders fora of one of the above-listed sectors, taking into consideration the specific needs of the sector they address and the emerging policy priorities for their implementation as well as the coordination with other initiatives/ projects, in order to avoid overlaps.

Pathfinder Challenge: Awareness Inside
call synopsis Programme
Horizon Europe
Administration
European Commission
Objective
For technologies, awareness principles would allow a step-up in engineering complex systems, making them more resilient, self-developing and human-centric. Awareness is a prerequisite for a real and contextualised understanding of a problem or situation and to adapt ones actions (and their consequences) to the specific circumstances. Ultimately, awareness serves the coherent and purposeful behaviour, learning, adaptation and selfdevelopment of intelligent systems over longer periods of time.
Eligible Activities
Proposals are expected to address each of the following three expected outcomes: 1. New concepts of awareness that are applicable to systems other than human, including technological ones; 2. Demonstrate and validate the role and added-value of such an awareness in an aware technology, class of artefacts or services for which the awareness features lead to a truly different quality in terms of, e.g., performance, flexibility, reliability or user-experience. 3. Define an integrative approach for awareness engineering, its technological toolbox, the needs and implications and its limits, including ethical and regulatory requirements. This Challenge is only open to proposals for collaborative projects with at least 3 partners following the standard eligibility conditions. Proposals are required to comply with the Trustworthy Artificial Intelligence principles.

call synopsis Programme
LIFE Programme
Administration
CINEA
Objective
The topic aims to support actions that develop, conceptualise and deploy new business models and concepts which fully tap the economic value and the wider benefits of integrated services. Integrated services in the sense of the topic are services that combine different energy services, such as energy efficiency, distributed generation and flexibility, and/or which integrate energy services with non-energy benefits. Moreover, the topic targets at services that contribute to the integration of energy sectors and carriers, notably electricity, heating and cooling and mobility, thus helping to overcome the fragmentation of markets and segments. Finally, the topic aims to enhance the cooperation and trust among different services providers and market actors, also across segments that so far do not have common business cases. The focus of the topic is on services involving buildings, i.e. services provided in, for or linked to buildings. These services should include an important element of energy efficiency. Moreover, the use of innovative technologies, as key enablers for the integration of services and sectors, is one important feature of this topic.
Eligible Activities
Actions under this topic are expected to establish and implement service models that enhance the business case of energy efficiency services by integrating elements that increase the value and diversify revenue streams, e.g. by integrating; distributed generation and self-consumption, demand response/ flexibility, including e-mobility; electricity with heating and cooling, including making use of heat storage; aspects of comfort, consumer satisfaction, safety, health, convenience etc.; maintenance and optimisation; aggregation of data and visualisation of energy consumption; technical support, communication and advice to end users
Eligible Applicants

Novel approaches to concentrated solar power (CSP)
call synopsis Programme
Horizon Europe
Administration
European Commission
Objective
Concentrating solar power (CSP) plants supply renewable, dispatchable power and can therefore be an important element of the evolving energy system. Project results are expected to contribute to all of the following expected outcomes: Higher shares of variable output renewables in the energy system. Future, higher-efficiency CSP plants. Reduced levelized cost of electricity of future CSP plants. Significant performance regarding start-up, shutdown and load variation of future CSP plants. Improved environmental profile of future CSP plants.
Eligible Activities
Support will be given to novel solutions that use concentrating solar thermal energy to generate power. In terms of power dispatchability, the novel solutions will have to ensure a performance at least equivalent to current commercial installations. Solutions that cogenerate power and heat are also in the scope. Moreover, solutions that support the concentrating solar thermal technology with photovoltaic technology are also in the scope. Projects should assess the sustainability of the proposed solutions in environmental and socio-economic terms. Applicants are encouraged to consider a ‘circularity by design’ approach.
Eligible Applicants
In order to be eligible, the applicants (beneficiaries and affiliated entities) must: be legal entities (public or private bodies); be established in one of the eligible countries,

call synopsis Programme
Horizon Europe
Administration
European Commission
Objective
Improved overall life time, reliability, installability, operability and maintainability of marine substructures, mechanical joints and energy connection systems for ocean energy devices and/or offshore floating PV to reduce degradation and failure rates and thus investment risk. Better understanding of the device’s real life performance allowing a safe reduction in the over-engineering of devices’ specifications. Reduction of LCOE in line with the SET Plan targets (actions should clearly justify estimated LCOE at project start and end, using a recognised calculation methodology). Contribution to the objectives of the Mission Healthy oceans, seas, coastal and inland waters.
Eligible Activities
Test and validate the potential benefits of new circular materials in offshore floating PV and/or ocean energy substructures, foundations and if relevant mooring and anchoring systems whilst ensuring structural integrity and durability considering very high wind (speed >25 m/s), current (>1.2 m/s) and wave (height >14 m) loads and corrosion and biofouling on all elements of the ocean energy systems. Test and validate new prototype components and materials used in offshore floating PV and/or ocean energy devices and verify that they are compatible with and resistant to the marine environment. Research material properties and behaviour in combination with the use of improved predictive computational modelling tools. Research, develop and validate improved predictive computational modelling tools for material properties.
