JARVIS Open Call 1
The 1st Open Call (OC1) of JARVIS will fund 8 external pilots, focusing on extending beyond the challenges addressed in the context of the four JARVIS pilots (Aeronautics, Automotive, Nuclear, Offshore energy). Specifically, it aims to support third parties in the development and implementation of innovative solutions through funding, mentoring, and access to project’s digital tools, while demonstrating the replicability and sustainability of the JARVIS framework.
The 8 pilots that will be selected for funding are expected to build value added services or products benefiting from the components of the JARVIS framework leveraging technology providers’ and end-users’ expertise on specific market segments.
The funded pilots should fit in one of the 7 topics defined by the JARVIS Consortium :
Agile Manufacturing
1. Human Augmentation and Assistance for Safe and Adaptive Manufacturing
2. Agile Collaborative Robotics for Logistics and Warehousing
3. Generative AI and Human-Robot Collaboration for More Efficient and Scalable Remanufacturing
AI Enhanced Inspection and Maintenance
4. Inspection and Maintenance of Plants, Infrastructure Areas, and Linear Infrastructure
5. Inspection and Maintenance of Industrial and Public Sector Assets and Equipment
6. Inspection Solutions for Assisted Inline Quality Assessment
7. Open Topic and Novel Domain: For innovative proposals that do not fit within the core pillars but align with the overall goals of the Open Call. This is an opportunity for groundbreaking ideas in novel domains.
Each project will last 10 months and receive funding of up to EUR 130K.
The idea is to reach TRL7 by demonstrating the proposed solutions onsite or at relevant testbeds, justify product-market fit, and support the comprehensive evaluation of the JARVIS tools by including end-users at the centre of the pilot’s deployment and validation.
JARVIS will fund third-party projects forming a team of 2 or 3 organisations including:
• Mandatory: 1 SME/Startups as a pilot leader (serving also as Technology Integrator/Provider/Developer).
• Mandatory: 1 Industry End-user (serving as Technology Adopter).
• Optionally: 1 Research organization providing technology/ expertise, which is accepted if and only if there is already one technology adopter and one SME technology provider in the
consortium.
These entities are eligible under the following conditions:
• An organization based in the EU or any Horizon Europe associated member state.
• A SME following the EU definition by the Commission Recommendation 2003/361/EC.
