ExpectedOutcome:This topic refers to the innovation market for electronics appliances, in support of citizens and their various needs (be it in health care, home &personal care, food or textiles). Several materials specifications and related innovations needs will support this topic such as renewable and recyclable materials, alternative active ingredients and design for circularity. The topic should address several key policies of the European Union such as the Circular Economy Action Plan, the Zero Pollution Action Plan, the EU Chemicals Strategy, the EU Strategy for sustainable textiles.
Sensors are a key technology for electronic appliances serving our society. From manufacturing, improving living conditions, and reducing consumption of energy and precious natural resources, even detecting threats, all rely on the availability of high-quality localized information.
Smart systems and ubiquitous connectivity create opportunities for new applications in smart living, environmental protection, and supply chains. These applications will be made possible through improved sensing technologies, which capture the relevant information. Core properties to...

Sensors are a key technology for electronic appliances serving our society. From manufacturing, improving living conditions, and reducing consumption of energy and precious natural resources, even detecting threats, all rely on the availability of high-quality localized information.
Smart systems and ubiquitous connectivity create opportunities for new applications in smart living, environmental protection, and supply chains. These applications will be made possible through improved sensing technologies, which capture the relevant information. Core properties to enable a wide adoption are miniature size, low power consumption, resilience to varying ambient conditions, low cost, and compatibility with mass production.
To avoid misuse of the captured personal data (e.g. medical), novel concepts of identification of the data originator/provider and data possession are needed. This could include biometric identification mechanisms as well as other fast and secure identification mechanisms, which is GDPR conform and with protected authorisation mechanisms.
The desired information is often chemical or biochemical. Miniaturization of established analytical methods and development of new materials compatible with established production processes require an integrated multidisciplinary approach.
Projects are expected to contribute to the following outcomes:
The Innovation market for Electronics Appliances is very broad and fast developing with a range to monitor human and environmental factors, which require to develop materials for a new generation of fast and smart sensors devices.Smart sensor technology can support self-monitoring in fitness and well-being, decentral personal health monitoring, environmental monitoring, as well as cooling and thermal distribution and supply chain management.Sensor devices must be small, and durable to deploy at various locations and withstand the ambient conditions of the targeted application.Advanced materials are needed to allow the capturing of chemical and bio-chemical signals with extended lifetime or extreme low cost for disposable sensors.Smart concepts and tools for evolving data analysis that embed a deep understanding of the sensor properties enable new business models for distributed, connected sensors.
Scope:Proposals should address at least four of the following activities:
Biosensors and chemical sensors can be applied to detect and monitor analytes or pathogens in the environment, in healthcare settings, and in food industries in an efficient and timely manner. Fast scanning and sensor-based devices that can be deployed at a large scale could augment or replace traditional methods of measurement and quality control.Advanced biological or biomimetic sensing elements for the measurement of biomarkers allow for new compact analytical devices or be integrated in personal devices such as smart phones, smart watches, and body sensors.New sensor materials with properties such as stretchability, self-healing and self-cleaning for the use in wearable electronics and smart textiles enable next-generation devices for the health and sports sector.To enable a fast development of new advanced materials, digital tools such as modelling, simulation and characterisation techniques (including those provided by analytical infrastructures) are under the scope, assisted by advanced methods, e.g. physics-based methods, machine learning or artificial intelligence.Connected smart sensors allow for new data analysis concepts. Algorithms may be adapted throughout the lifetime of the deployed devices, improving their functionality through data-fusion with additional data sources, adaptation to new requirements or enabling of big-data scenarios.Digitalisation technologies for PoC (Point-of-Care), PoN (Point-of-Need), home, and in-vivo/in-vitro diagnostics (e.g. sensors, sensor-arrays, sustainable system integration incl. microfluidics; machine learning approaches). Materials and products should be developed under Safe and Sustainable by Design framework[1] taking into account circularity aspects.
Proposals submitted under this topic should include a business case and exploitation strategy, as outlined in the introduction to this Destination.
This topic requires the effective contribution of SSH disciplines and the involvement of SSH experts, institutions as well as the inclusion of relevant SSH expertise, to produce meaningful and significant effects enhancing the societal impact of the related research activities. An early involvement of end users could be essential.
Projects should build on or seek collaboration with existing projects and develop synergies with other relevant European, national or regional initiatives, funding programmes and platforms.
Specific Topic Conditions:Activities are expected to start at TRL 3-4 and achieve TRL 5-6 by the end of the project – see General Annex B.
