AI, Data and Robotics at work (AI, Data and Robotics Partnership) (IA)
Summary
Cluster 4 promotes investments that will shape competitive and trusted technologies for a European industry enabling production and consumption to respect the planet’s boundaries and maximising the benefits for all parts of society in the variety of social, economic and territorial contexts in Europe. This will build a competitive, digital, low-carbon and circular industry, ensure sustainable supply of raw materials, develop advanced materials and provide the basis for advances and innovation in global challenges to society.
Programme Name
Programme Description
Horizon Europe is the European Union (EU) funding programme for the period 2021 – 2027, which targets the sectors of research and innovation. The programme’s budget is around € 95.5 billion, of which € 5.4 billion is from NextGenerationEU to stimulate recovery and strengthen the EU’s resilience in the future, and € 4.5 billion is additional aid.
Call
Detailed Call Description
Each proposal will focus on one of the two following use-cases:
All proposals should exploit the latest results in AI, data and robotics, as well as multimodal interaction technologies, User interface experience, for natural and seamless interaction between the human and the technology/sources of information, including Augmented/Virtual Reality when appropriate.
Two types of proposals are expected: 1. Focused projects (EU contribution around € 3,00 million), involving the user industry and technology provider(s), 2. Larger projects (EU contribution around € 5,00 million), where a number of companies in a given application sector will identify in the proposal common challenges and use-cases, and organise competitive calls for AI, data and robotics solution providers to address such challenges. (see p.225-226 of the work programme)
The involvement of the application sector stakeholders, including social partners, workers, managers and decision makers. Α human-centred approach will be key, with involvement of the workers, professionals, (front-line operators and managers) and other relevant experts, such as experts in human-centred design. They will closely collaborate with the technology providers and integrators.

EU contribution per project: between €3,00 and €5,00 million
Eligibility For Participation Notes
Beneficiaries may provide financial support to third parties which can only be provided in the form of grants. As third parties’ grants may include robotics components, requiring high equipment investment and/or important effort to integrate in a use-case to address the sectorial challenges, the maximum amount to be granted to each third party is € 200000.
