Most common actions – nomen est omen

RIA – Research and Innovation Actions – Fundingrate 100%

Collaborative projects

Gaining new insights, enhance knowledge base, proof of concept for new solutions

From fundamental to applied research

IA – Innovation Action – Fundingrate non-profit 100%, for-profit 70%

Collaborative projects

Development of modified/improved products, methods, services

Higher TRL-level as in RIAs, companies and partners for application are highly recommended (no mere research collaboration)

EIC - European Innovation Council

The EIC aims to identify and support breakthrough technologies and game changing

innovations to create new markets and scale up internationally

It supports all stages of innovation from R&D on the scientific underpinnings of

breakthrough technologies, to validation and demonstration of breakthrough

technologies and innovations to meet real world needs, to the development and

scaling up of start-ups and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

Open Funding & Strategic Funding:

Open Funding is designed to enable support for any technologies and innovations that cut across different scientific, technological,

sectoral and application fields or represent novel combinations.

Strategic Funding :The challenge driven approach is presented in Section III (‘EIC Strategic Challenges’) and provides funding to

address specific technological and innovation breakthroughs.

EIC Pathfinder

Consortia of at least 3 different independent legal entities (e.g. research organisations, universities, SMEs, industry)

established in at least 3 different eligible countries. Single applicants or small consortia (two partners) may be able

to apply

achieve the proof of principle and validate the scientific basis of breakthrough technology (TRL 1-4)

proof of principle that the main ideas of the envisioned future technology are feasible, thus validating its scientific and

technological basis.

take the necessary measures to allow future uptake to take place, for instance through an adequate formal

protection of the generated Intellectual Property (IP)

Grants of up to EUR 3 million (open) or EUR 4 million (challenge driven)

Funding rate: 100%

Deadline 19 May 2021

| 1430.03.2021

EIC - Transition

Single applicants (SMEs, spin-offs, start-ups, research organisations, universities) or small consortia 2 - 5 partners, not

necessarily SME).

Applications must build on results from eligible Pathfinder, FET or ERC Proof of Concept projects

innovation activities that go beyond the experimental proof of principle in laboratory.

It supports both the maturation and validation of your novel technology as well as the development of a business case

and business model towards the innovation’s future commercialisation (up to TRL 5 to 6).

Grants of up to EUR 2.5 million (or more if properly justified) to validate and demonstrate technology in application

relevant environment (TRL 4 to 5/6) and develop market readiness

Deadline 22 September 2021

| 1530.03.2021

EIC – Accelerator(former SME Instrument)

Single Start-ups and SMEs (including spin-offs), individuals (intending to launch a start-up/ SME) and in exceptional cases

small mid-caps (fewer than 500 employees)

to scale up high impact innovations with the potential to create new markets or disrupt existing ones.

focuses in particular on innovations building on scientific discovery or technological breakthroughs (‘deep tech’) and

where significant funding is needed over a long timeframe before returns can be generated (‘patient capital’). Funding

and support from the EIC Accelerator is designed to enable such innovators to attract the full investment amounts

needed for scale up in a shorter timeframe.

Blended finance: up to EUR 2.5 million grant component for technology development and validation (TRL 5/6 to 8),

Funding rate 70%; EUR 0.5 - 15 million investment component for scaling up and the related activities (TRL 8-9)

Application: possible any time (short applications: 5 pages, 10 slides pitch, video pitch – rejected twice, 12 months

blocked for resubmission) Full applications by 9 June 2021 and 6 October 2021
