Call text (as on F&T portal)
View on F&T portalThe project funded under this topic will have the following expected outcomes:
- A comprehensive understanding of the existing landscape of Technology Infrastructures[1] in Ukraine, including existing facilities and their services;
- Assessment of the loss of capacities in Technology Infrastructures in Ukraine in result of the Russian aggression;
- A sound understanding of the specific needs of industrial users, including large companies and SMEs, for Technology Infrastructures in Ukraine;
- An investment agenda for Technology Infrastructures in Ukraine addressing the gaps related to the capacity loss due to war and in view of the future technology development capacity of the Ukrainian industry in support of the reconstruction process.
- Identification of Technology Centres in Ukraine that could pilot an integrated approach to the provision of Technology Infrastructure facilities and services Ukrainian companies to strengthen the connection between research and industry through technology transfer, lowering the risks for private R&I investments.
Proposals should put forward a robust methodology to comprehensively analyse the current landscape of Technology Infrastructures facilities and services available in Ukraine and assess the damages to such capacities in result of the war. To this end, the proposed activities should engage with Ukrainian authorities at national and regional level as well as relevant organisations within the R&I ecosystems, such as RTOs, technical universities, research institutes and technology centres, hosting such infrastructures.
Activities proposed under this action should include a comprehensive analysis of user needs for Technology Infrastructures, both in the public and the private sector. This analysis should take into account in particular strategic technologies and long-term development needs of the Ukrainian economy.
This should lead to an analysis of capacity gaps and the mismatch between supply and demand for Technology Infrastructure facilities and services.
Building on these analyses, the project funded under this action will develop an investment agenda for Technology Infrastructures in Ukraine in view of the post-war reconstruction of the country. This agenda should identify priority areas for investments as well as the type of investments that are most urgently needed to foster the innovation capacity of the Ukrainian economy. It could also propose specific large-scale investments in individual facilities, development and deployment of new TI services, developing national networks or ecosystems of TIs with integrated service offers, building partnerships with TIs operating in the EU, as well as other actions strengthening the provision of TI services in Ukraine.
The action funded under this call should identify a set of Technology Centres in Ukraine that would pilot the establishment of an integrated network providing Technology Infrastructure services is selected technology area or industrial ecosystem. Such a network should include a critical mass of RTOs, universities and research institutes, as well as the private sector as relevant, that would develop a joint offer of research and technology services and other business support services to Ukrainian companies. Based on this pilot, the project should also develop a strategy and actional plan of scaling-up such networks on regional, national and international levels.
Methodologies proposed under the activities envisaged in this action should take into account the relevant work carried out at EU level as well as build on the experience of EU organisations hosting such facilities. Proposals should ensure strong engagement from all relevant stakeholders in the public and the private sector.
Projects should build on or seek collaboration with relevant existing projects and develop synergies with other relevant national, European or international initiatives on Technology Infrastructures, such as for example Open Innovation Test Beds, Testing and Experimentation Facilities or European Digital Innovation Hubs.

Reminder on proposal part B page limit and formatting conditions
1. Proposal part B page limit
The title, list of participants and sections 1, 2 and 3, together, should not be longer than page limit, indicated in a proposal part B template inside the Submission System. All tables, figures, references and any other element pertaining to these sections must be included as an integral part of these sections and are thus counted against this page limit.
The page limit will be applied automatically. At the end of a proposal part B template inside the Submission System you can see the structure of the actual proposal that you need to submit, please remove all instruction pages that are watermarked.
If you attempt to upload a proposal longer than the specified limit before the deadline, you will receive an automatic warning and will be advised to shorten and re-upload the proposal. After the deadline, excess pages (in over-long proposals/applications) will be automatically made invisible, and will not be taken into consideration by the experts. The proposal is a self-contained document. Experts will be instructed to ignore hyperlinks to information that is specifically designed to expand the proposal, thus circumventing the page limit.
Please, do not consider the page limit as a target! It is in your interest to keep your text as concise as possible, since experts rarely view unnecessarily long proposals in a positive light.
2.Proposal part B formatting conditions
The following formatting conditions apply (as listed in a proposal part B template inside the Submission System) and will be checked by the Agency during an admissibility check of submitted proposals.
The reference font for the body text of proposals is Times New Roman (Windows platforms), Times/Times New Roman (Apple platforms) or Nimbus Roman No. 9 L (Linux distributions).
The use of a different font for the body text is not advised and is subject to the cumulative conditions that the font is legible and that its use does not significantly shorten the representation of the proposal in number of pages compared to using the reference font (for example with a view to bypass the page limit).
The minimum font size allowed is 11 points. Standard character spacing and a minimum of single line spacing is to be used. This applies to the body text, including text in tables.
Text elements other than the body text, such as headers, foot/end notes, captions, formula's, may deviate, but must be legible.
The page size is A4, and all margins (top, bottom, left, right) should be at least 15 mm (not including any footers or headers).
Proposal part B template inside the Submission System document is tagged. Do not delete the tags; they are needed for our internal processing of information, mostly for statistical gathering. In that light, please do not move, delete, re-order, alter tags in any way, as they might create problems in our internal processing tools. Tags do not affect or influence the outcome of your application.
Please note that due to a technical issue, during the first days of publication of this call, the topic page did not display the description of the corresponding destination. This problem is now solved. In addition to the information published in the topic page, you can always find a full description of destinations:
* destination 1: Achieving global leadership in climate-neutral, circular and digitised industrial and digital value chains;
* destination 2: Achieving technological leadership for Europe's open strategic autonomy in raw materials, chemicals and innovative materials;
* destination 4: Achieving open strategic autonomy in digital and emerging enabling technologies;
* destination 6: Digital and industrial technologies driving human-centric innovation,
that are relevant for the call in the Work Programme 2025 part for “Industry”. Please select from the work programme the destination relevant to your topic and take into account the description and expected impacts of that destination for the preparation of your proposal.
