• Short bio

Christine Perey is an industry analyst and active leader of new technology industry

initiatives. She was an early evangelist for use of streaming media and

videoconferencing for 15 years until, in 2006, she began to study mobile Augmented

Reality to increase operational efficiencies in business and enrich the lives of people.

Her company provides services and programs for executives building and acquiring

AR-enabling technologies as well as to the largest enterprise AR platform customers.

Christine has started and led many communities of interest. She is an advocate for

interoperable Augmented Reality content and experiences, leads a grassroots

community dedicated to this purpose and serves on numerous standards working

groups. She is the founder and from 2013 to 2016 served as the founding executive

ICT-25-2018-2020 Interactive Technologies (CSA& RIA)

CSA:

Community and ecosystem building in Interactive Technologies

Submission deadline in APRIL 2018

RIA:

Improve Interactive technology

Submission deadline in NOVEMBER 2018

The Challenge

Interactive technologies such as Augmented (AR) and Virtual Reality

(VR) are set to transform the ways in which people communicate,

interact and share information on the internet and beyond.

This will directly impact a larger number of European industries ranging

from the cultural and creative industries, manufacturing, robotic and

healthcare to education, entertainment and media, enabling new

business opportunities.

The challenge is to forge a competitive and

sustainable ecosystem of European technology

providers in interactive technologies.

Interactive Community Building (CSA)

Community building in Interactive Technologies

• Elaborating a common research agenda and a technology

transfer strategy;

• building a platform to gather and share knowledge, algorithms

and tools for the development and use of new interactive

technologies. This may include the development of a dedicated

open operating system;

• providing broad access and technical support for the platform

as well as promoting its existence and establishing links with

other existing platforms;

• supporting research and development teams in the integration

of their tools into the platform. The task may involve financial

support to third parties. Maximum 2M€ funding could be

dedicated to it, with EUR 50.000 to 100 000 per third party.


This action should result in:

a unique access point for innovators, SMEs and industrial

companies interested in taking-up European interactive

technologies in their product and services development.

The Commission considers that proposals requesting a

contribution from the EU of EUR 3 million would allow this area

to be addressed appropriately.

Nonetheless, this does not preclude submission and selection of

proposals requesting other amounts.

(Maximum 2M€ funding could be dedicated to third parties)

Expected Impact: Establish a sustainable competitive

ecosystem of European technology and solution providers

for interactive technologies.


What are we NOT looking for?

• Travel agencies.

• Closed club:

– Regional

– Technology

– Academic vs Industry

Future interaction (RIA)

To strengthen European research and industrial capacities

the research and innovation actions should focus either on:

• Better exploiting opportunities offered by multi-user

interactions, researching and developing technologies

augmenting human interaction in groups within both

professional and private contexts.

•

• Or developing future interactive systems offering higher

quality experiences, for instance through systems which

are mobile, support additional senses, have higher

accuracy or incorporate bio or environmental sensors.

The Commission considers that proposals requesting a

contribution from the EU of between EUR 2 and 4 million

would allow this area to be addressed appropriately.

Nonetheless, this does not preclude submission and

selection of proposals requesting other amounts.

Expected Impact:

Strengthening European research and industrial capacities

to develop future interactive devices.

Coordination and support actions (CSA)

3

• Actions consisting primarily of accompanying measures such as standardisation, dissemination, awareness-raising and communication, networking, coordination or support services, policy dialogues and mutual learning exercises and studies, including design studies for new infrastructure and may also include complementary activities of strategic planning, networking and coordination between programmes in different countries.

• Funding rate: 100%

"H2020 General Annexes"

Actions involving financial support to third parties AKA: FSTP, Cascading Grants, Annex K,…

4

• … supporting research and development teams in the integration of their tools into the platform. The task may involve financial support to third parties, in line with the conditions set out in part K of the General Annexes. Maximum 2M€ funding could be dedicated to it, with EUR 50.000 to 100 000 per third party …

"H2020 General Annexes – Part K"

Annex K: Proposal need to have

5

Where a topic allows for grant proposals which foresee a financial support to third parties, the proposal must clearly detail the objectives and the results to be obtained and include at least the following elements:

• a fixed and exhaustive list of the different types of activities for which a third party may receive financial support,

• the definition of the persons or categories of persons which may receive financial support,

• the criteria for awarding financial support

• the criteria for calculating the exact amount of the financial support,

• the maximum amount to be granted to each third party (may not exceed EUR 60 000 for each third party unless it is necessary to achieve the objectives of the action) and the criteria for determining it.

"H2020 Annexes K"

Projects must publish widely their open calls and adhere to Horizon 2020 standards with respect to transparency, equal treatment, conflict of interest and confidentiality.

All calls for third parties must be published on the Horizon 2020 Participants Portal, and on the projects own web site.

The calls must remain open for at least three months.

If call deadlines are changed this must immediately be published on the call page on the participant's portal and all registered applicants must be informed of the change.

The calls must have a clear European dimension – either by carrying out cross border experimentation or in other ways expanding the impact of local experiments to European scale.

"H2020 Annexes K"

Annex K: Alternative – form of a prize

The financial support may also take the form of a prize awarded following a contest organised by the beneficiary.

In this case, proposals must clearly detail at least the following elements:

• the conditions for participation;

• the award criteria;

• the amount of the prize;

News for British applicants to Horizon 2020 06/10/2017

• http://ec.europa.eu/research/participants/portal/desktop/en/support/about.html

• For British applicants: Please note that until the UK leaves the EU, EU law continues to apply to and within the UK, when it comes to rights and obligations; this includes the eligibility of UK legal entities to fully participate and receive funding in Horizon 2020 actions. Please be aware however that the eligibility criteria must be complied with for the entire duration of the grant. If the United Kingdom withdraws from the EU during the grant period without concluding an agreement with the EU ensuring in particular that British applicants continue to be eligible, you will cease to be eligible to receive EU funding (while continuing, where possible, to participate) or be required to leave the project on the basis of Article 50 of the grant agreement.
