Specific Challenge:To efficiently enable the industrial applications fully exploit the evolving HPC hardware and software landscape and seek synergies with open-source components, including the use of novel mathematical methods and algorithms.
Scope:To improve industrial software and codes for industrial users to fully exploit the new capabilities of extreme performance HPC environments. This includes aspects such as novel algorithms, efficiency, scalability, refactoring, porting and optimisation to novel HPC hardware and software architectures of increased supercomputing performance.
Proposals should clearly identify the target software and codes to be improved. These software and codes should be used in areas of significant demonstrable market impact, where Europe is leader or should achieve leadership and create value in Europe.
The JU considers that proposals requesting a contribution from the JU of up to EUR 2 million, matched by the Participating States with a similar amount, would allow this specific challenge to be addressed appropriately.[1] Nevertheless this does not preclude submission and selection of proposals requesting ot...

Specific Challenge:To efficiently enable the industrial applications fully exploit the evolving HPC hardware and software landscape and seek synergies with open-source components, including the use of novel mathematical methods and algorithms.
Scope:To improve industrial software and codes for industrial users to fully exploit the new capabilities of extreme performance HPC environments.

Proposals should clearly identify the target software and codes to be improved. These software and codes should be used in areas of significant demonstrable market impact, where Europe is leader or should achieve leadership and create value in Europe.
The JU considers that proposals requesting a contribution from the JU of up to EUR 2 million, matched by the Participating States with a similar amount, would allow this specific challenge to be addressed appropriately.[1] Nevertheless this does not preclude submission and selection of proposals requesting other amounts.
Expected Impact:Proposals should describe how the proposed work will contribute to the listed corresponding expected impacts and include baseline, targets and metrics to measure impact:
Contribution to the realisation of the EuroHPC overall and specific objectives[2]Achieving European leadership in the areas of application of the target software and codes and creating value in EuropeEnabling a demonstrably more competitive and innovative European industry, including SMEs, and maximising market impact of the project’s resultsSignificant improvements in the target software and codes, in terms of e.g. efficiency, scalability, refactoring, adaptation to new software engineering and programming environments and tools, and optimisation for novel HPC hardware and system softwareGreatly accelerate the time to market for products and services based on HPC codes and softwareSupport a sustainable industrial HPC software capability in Europe

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

7. Additional requirements:
Horizon 2020 budget flexibility
As an exception from General Annex D of the Horizon 2020 Work Programme 2018-2020, the funding rate for eligible costs in grants awarded under this topic will be differentiated: 50% of the eligible costs for beneficiaries and linked third parties that are non-profit legal entities; and 35% of the eligible costs for beneficiaries and linked third parties that are for profit legal entities.
The conditions related to the topics are provided at the end of this call and in the General Annexes of the Horizon 2020 Work Programme 2018-2020 [[Available at: http://ec.europa.eu/research/participants/data/ref/h2020/other/wp/2018-2020/annexes/h2020-wp1820-annex-ga_en.pdf]].
Members of consortium are required to conclude a consortium agreement, in principle prior to the signature of the grant agreement.
Participants are encouraged to include a security self-assessment identifying any security issues and detailing how those issues will be addressed in order to comply with the relevant national and Union laws. Where appropriate, the Joint Undertaking may carry out a security scrutiny for proposals raising security issues in accordance with General Annex J of the Horizon 2020 Work Programme 2018-2020. The security scrutiny may lead to security requirements that are set out in Annex 1 to the EuroHPC JU Model Grant Agreement.
For grants awarded under this topic the JU may object to a transfer of ownership or the exclusive licensing of results to a third party established in a third country not associated to Horizon 2020. The respective option of Article 30.3 of the EuroHPC JU Model Grant Agreement will be applied.
Additionally, the Work Plan foresees additional exploitation obligations, requiring that first exploitation of the results takes place in Europe using an option of Article 28 of the EuroHPC JU Model Grant Agreement as a default option.
8. Open access to research data and specific publications:
Open access must be granted to all scientific publications resulting from actions covered by this topic.
Where relevant, proposals should also provide information on how the participants will manage the research data generated and/or collected during the project, such as details on what types of data the project will generate, whether and how this data will be exploited or made accessible for verification and re-use, and how it will be curated and preserved.
Projects funded under this topic will by default provide open access to the research data they generate, except if they decide to opt-out. Part L of the General Annexes to the Horizon 2020 Work Programme 2018-2020 shall apply mutatis mutandis to the actions covered by this topic. Projects can opt-out at any stage, that is both before and after the grant signature.
Note that the evaluation phase proposals will not be evaluated more favourably because they plan to open or share their data, and will not be penalised for opting out.
Open research data sharing applies to the data needed to validate the results presented in scientific publications. Additionally, projects can choose to make other data available open access and need to describe their approach in a Data Management Plan.
Projects need to create a Data Management Plan (DMP), except if they opt-out of making their research data open access. A first version of the DMP must be provided as an early deliverable within six months of the project and should be updated during the project as appropriate. The Commission already provides guidance documents, including a template for DMPs. See the Online Manual.
Eligibility of costs: costs related to data management and data sharing are eligible for reimbursement during the project duration.
The legal requirements for projects participating in this pilot are in the article 29.3 of the Model Grant Agreement.
