Horizon Europe, under Global Challenges and European Industrial Competitiveness, and its digital, industry and space cluster, invites applications for HORIZON-CL4-2022-HUMAN-01 — a human-centred and ethical development of digital and industrial technologies. This supports projects that set out a credible pathway to contributing to the goal of a human-centred and ethical development of digital and industrial technologies. Funding is available under the following topics:
- HORIZON-CL4-2022-HUMAN-01-03 - internet architecture and decentralised technologies;
- HORIZON-CL4-2022-HUMAN-01-05 - next generation safer internet, technologies to identify digital child sexual abuse material;
- HORIZON-CL4-2022-HUMAN-01-07 - next generation internet international collaboration, US and Canada;
- HORIZON-CL4-2022-HUMAN-01-14 - eXtended reality technologies;
- HORIZON-CL4-2022-HUMAN-01-19 - eXtended reality learning, engage and interact.
Depending on the topic, proposals must take the form of research and innovation actions, or innovation actions. Research and innovation actions and innovation actions require participation by at least three legal entities; each established in a different EU member state or Horizon Europe associated country. Participants from selected LMICs are automatically eligible for funding. Participants from other countries may participate at their own cost.
The budget is €70.5 million. Grants are worth up to €11m each.

Defence and Security Accelerator – telexistence
Ministry of Defence, GB
Closing date: 06 Apr 22
Proposals due by 12 noon BST.
The Ministry of Defence, through the Defence and Security Accelerator and in association with the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority, invites proposals for the second phase of its call on telexistence. This supports innovative projects to develop a complete telexistence system, integrating telepresence, robotic and haptic technologies on to a single platform. The system must enable the user to experience and interact with the remote environment as if they were physically there in real-time, and will be tested and evaluated against tasks representative of one of the following use cases:
- specialist nuclear decommissioning tasks;
- explosive ordnance disposal;
- defence and security medical applications.
The competition comprises three stages: development of the complete telexistence system; system test and evaluation, to be held in March 2023; demonstration activities, to be held in April 2023.
Innovators including those from academia, SMEs and large companies, from both the UK and overseas, may submit proposals. Joint bids that bring together the strength of different industrial or academic partners are welcomed. Projects are expected to achieve at least technology readiness level (TRL) 4 to TRL 6 by the end of the contract, though systems currently at or above TRL 6 in a civilian environment may be eligible for funding in certain circumstances. Applicants need not have been involved in the first phase of the competition in order to apply.
The total budget is worth £1.3 million to fund three to five proposals. Grants are worth up to £400,000 each for a maximum duration of 10 months.

We have no information from the funder yet about the next call. Based on past experience, we forecast the deadline to be around August 2022. This call is repeated once a year.
The Society for Academic Emergency Medicine, via its Simulation Academy, invites applications for its novice research grant. This supports projects to increase the body of knowledge in simulation-based endeavours, educational innovations, and applications within different facets of emergency medicine care, training and systems research, such as emergency department operations and throughputs. The objective is to provide seed funding to support experiential training and career development for investigators in emergency medicine who have shown promise in simulation-based scholarship.
Applicants must be members of SAEM and its Simulation Academy in good standing at the application deadline and during the award period. They must also hold a university appointment or be actively involved with a department or division of emergency medicine or paediatric emergency medicine. Applicants must be American Board of Emergency Medicine or American Board of Osteopathic Emergency Medicine Board-eligible or -certified. Emergency medicine residents in their final year of residency may also apply. Host institutions may be located within or outside the US.
Grants are worth up to USD 5,000 each for one year.

SMART call on advanced manufacturing
EUREKA, EU
Closing date: 24 Jan 23 (Forecast)
We have no information from the funder yet about the next call. Based on past experience, we forecast the deadline to be around January 2023. This call is repeated once a year.
EUREKA invites applications for its SMART call on advanced manufacturing. This enables manufacturing enterprises to adapt to global competitive pressures by developing the necessary technologies to support advanced manufacturing across a broad range of sectors. Furthermore, this call promotes collaborative, international and close-to-market research and development and innovation projects in the area of advanced manufacturing. Projects must have a civilian purpose.
This call is for manufacturing technologies across the following domains:
- advanced manufacturing processes;
- smart and adaptive manufacturing systems;
- digital, virtual and efficient companies;
- person-machine collaboration;
- sustainable manufacturing;
- customer-based manufacturing.
Consortia consisting of two different partners from two different participating countries may apply.
Each country will fund its eligible participants within the Eureka framework. The budget of the different partners must be balanced.
