Scope:Proposals for innovation actions targeted under this topic should address the re-orientation and repurposing of production capacities to meet the urgent needs of our societies for vital medical supplies and equipment.
The scope covers:
The repurposing, adaptation and ramp-up of production lines to quickly adjust to new and urgent production needs, notably medical equipment (e.g. personal protective equipment (PPE), ventilators), diagnostic technologies already deployed based on advanced materials and/or biotechnologies, as well as service systems and automated systems of disinfection,Demonstrate flexibility models for the supply chain for the repurposing of production lines and proper risk management in case of disruption of supply chains (or other necessary means for enabling production, such as energy feedstock),Automation technologies that are less dependent on work force present in factories, certification/calibration/accreditation of production lines that have been repurposed or restarted after a shutdown,Qualification of operators/technicians for new/repurposed production lines.

Scope:Proposals for innovation actions targeted under this topic should address the re-orientation and repurposing of production capacities to meet the urgent needs of our societies for vital medical supplies and equipment.

The repurposing, adaptation and ramp-up of production lines to quickly adjust to new and urgent production needs, notably medical equipment (e.g. personal protective equipment (PPE), ventilators), diagnostic technologies already deployed based on advanced materials and/or biotechnologies, as well as service systems and automated systems of disinfection,Demonstrate flexibility models for the supply chain for the repurposing of production lines and proper risk management in case of disruption of supply chains (or other necessary means for enabling production, such as energy feedstock),Automation technologies that are less dependent on work force present in factories, certification/calibration/accreditation of production lines that have been repurposed or restarted after a shutdown,Qualification of operators/technicians for new/repurposed production lines. This focus area addresses any manufacturer able to deliver demonstrators of a flexible 48-hour industrial response capability at scale, to cope with sudden spikes in demand of strategic products (for instance medical equipment such as PPE, respirators), for requalification or release of production lines. Open Innovation Testbeds, laboratories, other technology infrastructures and maker communities may in particular be relevant. The modular solutions for a faster or repurposed production need to be integrated into the appropriate value chains. Also, projects can develop collaborative solutions, such as supply back-up squads, cooperatives, joint adaptations, industrial conversion and technology sharing.
Proposals are expected to foster links with relevant R&I projects and initiatives at national, European and global level regardless of the origin of funding, in order to accelerate and maximise the impact.
Activities should start at least at TRL 6 and achieve TRL 8 at the end of the project.
The Commission considers that proposals requesting a contribution from the EU of between EUR 5 and 6 million would allow these specific challenges to be addressed appropriately. Nonetheless, this does not preclude submission and selection of proposals requesting other amounts.
Expected Impact:To foster industry’s adaptation capacity and resilience in strategic sectors (e.g. manufacturing of medical equipment, PPE, etc.). Demonstrate a flexible 48-hour industrial response capability for requalification or release of repurposed production lines. To support industry and interested parties, in particular SMEs, by providing services for design, assessment, testing and regulatory issues. Deliver results within 3-18 months to end-users at scale. Solutions should foresee their application to other industrial sectors that might be explored in future calls.

Características del consorcio
:
La ayuda es de ámbito europeo, puede aplicar a esta linea cualquier empresa que forme parte de la Comunidad Europea.
Características del 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 obligations
Data sharing
Beneficiaries in grants awarded under this call for expression of interest must make available their research data, at the latest within 30 days after it has been generated, through open access or, if agreed by the Commission, by giving access rights to those third parties that need the research data to address the public health emergency. Therefore the relevant option of Article 29.3 (option 1c) of the H2020 Model Grant Agreement will apply.
The use of harmonised protocols in collaboration with other actors is recommended for this purpose.
Beneficiaries must make the research data accessible and re-usable through appropriate platforms (such as the data-sharing platform), following guidelines communicated by the Commission.
The relevant option of Article 29.1 of the H2020 Model Grant Agreement will apply.
It is expected that quality-controlled data are shared in accordance with the FAIR principles.
A draft data management plan (DMP) must be submitted preferably with the proposal and at the latest before the signature of the grant agreement. The DMP should address the relevant aspects of making the data FAIR – findable, accessible, interoperable and re-usable, including what data the project will generate, whether and how the data will be made accessible for verification and re-use, and how it will be circulated and preserved. A template for such a plan is given in the guidelines on data management in the H2020 Online Manual.
Costs related to data management and data sharing are eligible for reimbursement if incurred during the project duration under the conditions set out in the grant agreement.
Exploitation obligations
In the context of the public health emergency, additional exploitation obligations apply, to ensure that results or resulting products/services (i.e. products or services developed based on results generated in the action) will be available and accessible, as soon as possible and at fair conditions. This will include an obligation to license on a non-exclusive basis and at fair and reasonable conditions.
The scope of the additional exploitation obligations will be discussed in more detail with successful applicants/participants at due time.
To enhance the exploitation of results, beneficiaries must provide a "results ownership list" (ROL) together with the final report and use the Horizon results platform.
The option of Article 28.1 of the Model Grant Agreement will apply and the necessary provisions will be inserted in Annex 1.
Right to object to transfers of ownership and exclusive licences
The relevant option of Article 30.3 of the H2020 Model Grant Agreement will apply.
