ICT 28.a Innovation Actions TRL 5-6 ■ ICT KET integrated platforms for the healthcare and food sectors

Aim: Further development and validation in real settings of micro-nano-bio and bio-photonics systems

√ Reliable √ Low-cost √ Driven by users

Focus is on:

√ Health sector: Early or fast diagnosis and monitoring - Clinical Trials excluded

√ Food sector: Quality , safety and process control

Actions should

√ Include substantiated business cases for the targeted products, with

√ Strong commitment to industrialise in Europe

ICT 28.c Coordination and Support Actions

Cooperation of scientists, technology developers and providers, and end-users for accelerating the deployment of bio-photonics and micro-nano-bio solutions in the health sector

Small projects (2-4 M€) 70% funding

11 M€

1 M€

ICT28.b Pilot lines for advanced KET products

1. OLEDs on flexible substrates Focus: volume fabrication of reliable OLEDs (S2S, R2S and R2R) on flexible substrates with low material utilisation Actions may include: Upgrading of current pilot lines

2. Analytical MIR micro-sensors

Focus: provide foundry services targeting in particular SME needs for processed wafers and mounted/packaged chips for MIR micro-sensors

Targeting high impact applications and introducing new MIR materials (lower cost, more reliable & efficient)

3. PIC fabrication on III-V and/or dielectric based platforms Foundry services for complex PICs based on generic fabrication processes. Actions should meet SMEs needs in particular

For pilots 2 & 3: open access should be facilitated through appropriate support services and tools. The foundry offer should be validated through pre-commercial pilot runs for external users

ICT 28 – 2015: Cross-cutting ICT KETs Scope (2)

Set-up and validate a pilot production for advanced KET products Actions may include the development of fabrication processes;

Process qualification; and, further process engineering

ICT 28.b Pilot lines for advanced KET products (cnt'd)

■ All pilot lines should:

─ Be open access

─ Be driven by key stakeholders able to set-up and run such pilot lines

─ Include business plans for the further industrialisation and if applicable, for specific planned products

─ Include strong commitment to manufacturing in Europe

■ Financial Engineering possibilities: Wherever appropriate, seek synergies and co-financing from elsewhere (e.g. structural funds); when combining funds, include a financial plan detailing the use of these funds for the different parts of activities proposed

■ Specific evaluation criteria

ICT 28 – 2015: Cross-cutting ICT KETs Definition of TRLs

TRLs (Technology Readiness Levels) are defined in the General Annexes – Annex G of the H2020 Work Programme:

■ TRL 5: technology validated in relevant environment (industrially relevant environment in the case of key enabling technologies)

■ TRL 6: technology demonstrated in relevant environment (industrially relevant environment in the case of key enabling technologies)

■ TRL 7: system prototype demonstration in operational environment

ICT 28 – 2015: Cross-cutting ICT KETs Specific evaluation criteria for Pilot lines (1)

Excellence

■ Clarity and importance of the objectives

■ Soundness of the concept, including trans disciplinary considerations

■ Credibility of the proposed approach

■ Readiness of the technology for implementing the pilot

■ Progress beyond the state of the art in production

For ICT 28.b 'Pilot lines for advanced KET products', specific evaluation criteria have been defined in the LEIT-ICT Work Programme 2014-15.

The deviating sub-criteria defined are marked here below in red.

Deleted [parts of] the standard criteria are not shown

ICT 28 – 2015: Cross-cutting ICT KETs Specific evaluation criteria for Pilot lines (2)

Impact the score for the criterion impact will be multiplied by 1.5

The extent to which the outputs of the project could contribute at the European and/or International level to:

■ The expected impacts listed in the work programme under the relevant topic

■ Soundness of the business cases and business plans and commitment to first exploitation / manufacturing

■ Evidence of the market potential and of the competitive technology advantage that will be gained through the pilot line

■ Potential of creating jobs in Europe

■ Effectiveness of the proposed measures to communicate the project, and disseminate the project results, including appropriate management of IPR

■ Contribution, where appropriate, to standards and to skills and educational training

ICT 28 – 2015: Cross-cutting ICT KETs Specific evaluation criteria for Pilot lines (3)

Quality and efficiency of the implementation

■ Coherence and effectiveness of the work plan, including appropriateness of the allocation of tasks and resources

■ Coverage of the value chain (RTOs, materials, equipment and technology suppliers and end-users)

■ Competences, experience and complementarity of the individual participants, as well as of the consortium as a whole*

■ Appropriateness of the management structures and procedures, including risk management

Evaluation scores will be awarded for the three criteria, and not for the sub-criteria. Each criterion will be scored out of 5. The threshold for individual criteria will be 3. The overall threshold, applying to the sum of the three individual scores, will be 10.

* Operational Capacity (selection criteria): As a separate step in the evaluation, experts must indicate whether the members of the consortium possess at least the minimum competences needed to carry out the proposed work.
