Call text (as on F&T portal)
View on F&T portalExpected Outcome:
The CSA action should be prepared, managed and coordinated by key stakeholders in the field. Proposal results are expected to contribute to the following expected outcomes:
- Support structure for the European Computing ecosystem: networking events (including conferences, summer schools etc.) and vision workshops for the academic and industrial computing community;
- Yearly updated roadmaps on computing addressing the area from a broad perspective from edge-IoT device to edge cloud to cloud to HPC, from scientific to industrial to societal and research applications, and addressing all relevant aspects such as real-time, security, support to artificial intelligence, use of generative AI for computing system engineering, etc.
Scope:
To support the European Commission and the European computing constituency by providing to them annually updated roadmaps for research and innovation related to computing. This topic is overarching and building the bridge between Destinations 3 (heading “From Cloud to Edge to IoT for European Data”), Destination 4 (“Ultra Low Power Processors”), as well as the Joint Undertakings (JU) on Chips, Smart Networks and Services, and high-performance computing (HPC). This effort builds on the achievements and structures established by the HIPEAC project and think tank of renowned European research centres on computing “at large” and their key experts. Both the academic visions as well as the industrial perspective complementing the Strategic Research and Innovation Agendas of the JUs as well as the roadmapping done by the European Alliance for Industrial Data, Edge & Cloud as well as the IPCEI exploitation office should be taken into consideration.

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). To determine the ranking for ‘Innovation actions’, the score for ‘Impact’ is given a weight of 1.5.
2 According to the specific conditions of HUMAN-14 and HUMAN-16, to ensure a balanced portfolio coverage, grants are awarded to not only in order of ranking [see the specific condition for each topic in the topic page]. Therefore, additional proposals are retained for funding to fulfil this condition.
Summary of observer report:
The efficiency of the procedures in this call is very good. The tools such as IER, CR, ESR and cross- reading are well suited and the usability is very effective. Harmonisation and calibration procedures are excellent. This is thanks to the superior performance of the moderators and co-moderators in panel meetings with sometimes more than 40 experts under nightmarish conditions of unstable meeting connections, failing in access and interoperability of SEP and WebEx platform. Overall, the evaluation was fair and consistent, with full compliance with the applicable rules.
We recently informed the applicants about the evaluation results for their proposals.
