Boosting generation and diffusion of advanced technologies in SMEs based on a supply chain model (CSA)
Call text (as on F&T portal)
View on F&T portalProjects are expected to contribute to the following outcomes:
- Build a model for each industrial ecosystem to identify disruptions and technological opportunities for the uptake of advanced technologies in a supply chain;
- Alert on current disruptions and identify potential future disruptions;
- Identify potential alternate suppliers of critical advanced technologies;
- Launch one pilot project per each industrial ecosystem focused on building alliances among traditional and tech-savvy SMEs through industrial cluster organisations;
- Explore concrete collaboration opportunities between different type of EU businesses, particularly tech-savvy SMEs and traditional SMEs;
- Increase the adoption of advanced technologies in traditional SMEs, looking at skills shortages among other barriers, and help EU tech-savvy SMEs that developed critical technology applications to expand their market potential in the EU;
- Demonstrate how the adoption of advanced technologies in SMEs can enable them to reduce resource, material and energy consumption, thus contributing to EU climate neutrality objectives.
All the EU industrial ecosystems should adapt to the post-crisis economic environment, with new consumer and industrial demand, changed competition and new resilience and sustainability objectives. This adaptation will be particularly challenging for SMEs. The economic recovery in Europe, after the COVID-19 pandemic, will only materialise if SMEs are properly supported by adequate actions and policy measures to adapt to changed value-chains and demand.
It is essential for companies to map their supply chain in order to identify critical dependencies and weaknesses in specific industrial ecosystem. There is a need for developing methodology or model that can assist companies in detecting and anticipating disruptions in their supply chains. Such a model would contribute to reduce strategic dependencies on critical products, services or technologies.
Through the adoption of advanced technologies, the manufacturing industry will achieve operational independence. This operational improvement will be of paramount importance in ensuring performance during the next normal. In fact, COVID-19's impact on trade caught many firms unprepared, with negative consequences on supply chains. This event drastically changed the focus from a low-cost country sourcing mantra to a more resilient and simpler network. Implementing new technologies is turning supply chain processes and activities towards less uncertainty and complexity. Technologies like robotics, AI, IoT, blockchain, and edge computing are the key drivers to achieve these goals, together with efficiency benefits and zero-touch production (ZTP) processes, the latter being pushed significantly during the pandemic and becoming a strategic asset for the future of enterprises.
Efficiency is also fostered by AR/VR solutions, which enable experts to provide remote support to on-field operators and provide step-by-step instructions. B2B digital platforms are also a key trend in the manufacturing industry, pushing for a more collaborative relation between colleagues, peers, and employees. This opportunity is deeply connected to Big Data/analytics technology, which allows the user to track and analyse processes, improve operational visibility, and understand improvements and trends. 3D printing has shown its huge potential in creating and modifying manufacturing and healthcare products during the pandemic and is likely to be a key trend in the coming years. Product innovation is also driving the adoption of advanced materials, micro- and nanoelectronics, nanotechnologies, and photonics with the aims of improving products and reducing costs.

Dear Applicants,
We need to inform you that for the CSA proposal template we have the following issue.
The Standard Application Form (HE CSA) “Proposal template Part B: technical description” is divided in two parts.The first part provides the different sections 1-3 with explanations and instructions (page 1-20).
The second part (starting after page 20) is the fill in template without the explanations and instructions as in the first part.
In the first part “Proposal template Part B: technical description” (page 01 – 20) at page 16 section 3 we have the “Table 3.1c: List of Deliverables” in this table we ask among other things the short description for each deliverable
However, in the second part of the template “Proposal template Part B: technical description” (after page 20) the column “short description” in the Table 3.1c: List of Deliverables is missing.
For the calls that did not open yet the CSA proposal template will be updated.
As this call is open, we are not going to replace de template. We ask you to use and fill in the table from the first part of the proposal template in page 16 section 3.
For the applicants who already prepared and submitted their proposal and can’t change it we will also instruct the experts not to penalize the proposals if the short description is missing from “Table 3.1c: List of Deliverables”.

We would like to draw your attention to an update of the “Detailed Budget Table” Excel template. A new template has been republished for your kind consideration and use.
An additional paragraph has been added to the instructions tab, explaining how to save the detailed budget table and how to upload it in the submission system:
“After you completed this Excel workbook, you must also complete the table ‘Budget for the proposal’ in Part A of the proposal, entering the requested EU contribution for each participant. Fill the Part A budget table using the total for each participant from the sheet ‘Lump sum breakdown’ in this Excel workbook. The format of this Excel workbook is .xlsm because it uses macros to generate sheets and make calculations automatically. Always save it as .xlsm. However, this format cannot be uploaded to the submission system for security reasons. Therefore, to submit the completed workbook, save a copy as an .xlsx or .xls document (and not as .xlsm) and upload it to the proposal submission tool at Step 5 of the submission process. Always keep a copy of the original .xlsm file. To save the workbook as .xlsx document, use the action button in the sheet “Instructions”. Alternatively, click on “File” and then “Save as”; in the “Save as” dialog box, choose “.xlsx” or “.xls” from the “Save as type” dropdown list.”
You can still use the template initially available in the submission system if you wish to, but please be aware of the instructions on how to upload and save the file.
