Eureka call for Disaster resilience, response and recovery projects

About this event

This project call is for disaster resilience, response, and recovery research and development projects. This call will support R&D projects that target the following fields: Sustainability, Medical devices, Artificial intelligence, Advanced manufacturing, New materials, Other areas Disaster types covered: ‘Human-caused’, including widespread destruction resulting from conflict and war, urban fires, and industrial accidents of various kinds. ‘Natural’, including avalanche, flooding, extreme cold and hot weather, drought, earthquake, storms, volcanic activity, and wildfire. Projects should address one of the application areas that follow, or any other that has clear links to disaster resilience, response and recovery: Innovative and resilient construction. Digital technologies. Search and rescue. Resilient communications. Resilient infrastructures and systems. Post-disaster waste management. Projects must target at least one type of disaster and have at least one clear and specific disaster-related application. Projects should aim to develop a product, process or service for commercialisation and the implementation of project results (such as market launch) should aim to occur no later than 24 months after project completion. Projects may develop fundamentally new innovations, or adapt, re-engineer and re-purpose existing innovations currently used or envisaged for different application areas. While the Technology Readiness Level starting point will vary from one project to another, it is expected that projects will start no lower than TRL level 4. Project size is envisaged in the order of 500,000 euro to 5 million euro, but this does not preclude proposals requesting different amounts.
