European
Scope:Specific challenge: New approaches to improve the functionality of materials are important for the sustainable development of Europe's competitiveness. Fibre-based materials for technical, high -value, high -performance products at reasonable prices, with improved safety and functionality, represent a challenge for materials science and engineering.
Scope: Proposals should aim to develop engineered fibre-based materials for novel, smart, high-value and high-performance non-clothing parts and products for technical and industrial use. New approaches and production technologies will enable a broader spectrum of industrial applications, taking into account, as appropriate, issues of sustainability, recycling, safety, energy, and self-cleaning or other functionalities. Portable final products may also be considered.
In order to ensure the industrial relevance of the research, the cost effectiveness and commercial potential of the innovative technologies compared to state-of-the-art solutions currently available on the market should be quantitatively monitored during the project. A market estimate should be outlined in proposals and developed in proj...

In order to ensure the industrial relevance of the research, the cost effectiveness and commercial potential of the innovative technologies compared to state-of-the-art solutions currently available on the market should be quantitatively monitored during the project. A market estimate should be outlined in proposals and developed in projects, with recommendations for future industrial uptake.
Proof of concept in terms of product and/or process must be delivered within the project, excluding commercially usable prototypes, but convincingly demonstrating scalability towards industrial needs. Dedicated multiscale modelling and characterisation, and standardisation or the production of (certified) reference materials may also be addressed.
For this topic, proposals should include an outline of the initial exploitation and business plans, which will be developed further in the proposed project.
Activities expected to focus on Technology Readiness Level 5-6.
The Commission considers that proposals requesting a contribution from the EU between EUR 6 and 8 million would allow this specific challenge to be addressed appropriately. Nonetheless, this does not preclude submission and selection of proposals requesting other amounts.
Expected impact:
Increase in competitiveness and sustainability of European multiple sectors industry through innovative high value products and manufacturing processes;
Employment and training through engagement in cutting edge technologies in various sectors, e.g. transport, construction, sport and leisure etc.

characteristics of the Proyecto
Los costes de personal subvencionables cubren las horas de trabajo efectivo de las personas directamente dedicadas a la ejecución de la acción. Los propietarios de pequeñas y medianas empresas que no perciban salario y otras personas físicas que no perciban salario podrán imputar los costes de personal sobre la base de una escala de costes unitarios
Los otros costes directos se dividen en los siguientes apartados: Viajes, amortizaciones, equipamiento y otros bienes y servicios. Se financia la amortización de equipos, permitiendo incluir la amortización de equipos adquiridos antes del proyecto si se registra durante su ejecución. En el apartado de otros bienes y servicios se incluyen los diferentes bienes y servicios comprados por los beneficiarios a proveedores externos para poder llevar a cabo sus tareas
La subcontratación en ayudas europeas no debe tratarse del core de actividades de I+D del proyecto. El contratista debe ser seleccionado por el beneficiario de acuerdo con el principio de mejor relación calidad-precio bajo las condiciones de transparencia e igualdad (en ningún caso consistirá en solicitar menos de 3 ofertas). En el caso de entidades públicas, para la subcontratación se deberán de seguir las leyes que rijan en el país al que pertenezca el contratante
Characteristics of financing
List of countries and applicable rules for funding: described in part A of the General Annexes of the General Work Programme.
Eligibility and admissibility conditions: described in part B and C of the General Annexes of the General Work Programme, with the following exceptions:
Proposals for Research & Innovation and for Innovation Actions should include an outline of the initial exploitation and business plans, which will be developed further in the proposed project.
Evaluation
3.1 Evaluation criteria and procedure, scoring and threshold: described in part H of the General Annexes of the General Work Programme, with the following exceptions:
For single-stage and second-stage evaluations, the threshold for the criteria Excellence and Impact will be 4. The overall threshold, applying to the sum of the three individual scores, will be 12.
In case of equal overall scores in the ranked list, the priority order of proposals will be established in accordance with part H of the General Annexes, except that proposals will be ranked on the basis of individual scores for the Impact criterion before the Excellence criterion.
