Expected Outcome

Projects are expected to contribute to the following outcomes:

  • Sensors/probes to monitor the quality of the communication network and of photonic signals transported in the communication network
  • Methods to use the network as large-scale distributed sensor
  • Development of foundational optical technologies, systems and networks that provide the future access infrastructure

Scope

Proposals should address at least one of the following activity areas:

  • Light-based solutions to let the communication network sense, while transporting data, for example

o To enhance the security and resilience of the network

o To make network resources more energy efficient

o To warn and protect against natural disasters, earthquakes etc.

o To monitor the infrastructure where the fibre is deployed (traffic, stress in bridges…)

  • Light-based solutions to bring internet everywhere, with the most relevant access technologies

o Fiber to the home, fiber to the antenna or fiber to the sky (satellite), for example with coherent passive optical networks, free space optics, Lifi or optical beamforming and steering

o while enabling the integration of all access technologies in one system

This topic implements the co-programmed European Partnership Photonics.

Specific Topic Conditions:

Activities are expected to start at TRL 2 and achieve TRL 5 by the end of the project – see General Annex B.

Summary of observer report:

The observer was appointed to monitor the proposal evaluation process in HORIZON-CL4-2024-DIGITAL-EMERGING-01 call topics with respect to its fairness, efficiency, transparency and consistency with the applicable rules and procedures.

For the purpose of implementing the task the observer reviewed the call and evaluation documentation, participated in selected process activities, including briefings, a representative sample of consensus meetings and all panel review meetings, she also used the tools supporting evaluation. The sample of observations and feedback collected during the evaluation provided a good basis to draw valid conclusions.

The observed process was well designed, efficient and transparent. It was executed fully in line with the applicable rules and procedures.

In order to ensure the maximum degree of impartiality and fairness throughout the entire process proposals went through several evaluation steps, starting from individual evaluations conducted independently by 3 assigned experts, through a consensus discussion, cross-reading and panel review. Evaluation reports, both individual and consensus, were reviewed by experienced quality controllers for consistency and quality.

The evaluation criteria and scoring system were properly applied across all topics.

The observed evaluation can serve as a benchmark to many national and international procedures as a well-designed, well-structured and properly implemented process, resulting in unbiased and fair outcome.

We recently informed the applicants about the evaluation results for their proposals.

For questions, please contacttheResearch Enquiry Service.

[1] Proposals with the same score were ranked according to the priority order procedure set out in the call conditions (for HE, in the General Annexes to the Work Programme or specific arrangements in the specific call/topic conditions). For HE, to determine the ranking for ‘Innovation actions’, the score for ‘Impact’ is given a weight of 1.5.

[2]According to the specific condition of HORIZON-CL4-2024-DIGITAL-EMERGING-01-04, to ensure a balanced portfolio coverage, grants are awarded to applications not only in order of ranking but at least also to the two highest ranked proposals for each of the two expected outcomes (1. The creation of systems to address large scale challenges using combined robotics data and AI solutions, 2. The creation of systems to address large scale resource optimisation challenges using combined AI and Data solutions). Therefore, additional proposals are retained for funding to fulfil this condition.
