CFPs: Assessment of Technology Infrastructure needs in Ukraine

Deadline: 23-Sep-25

The European Commission (EC) has launched the Call for Proposals for the Assessment of Technology Infrastructure needs in Ukraine (CSA).

Scope
  • Proposals should put forward a robust methodology to comprehensively analyse the current landscape of Technology Infrastructures facilities and services available in Ukraine and assess the damages to such capacities in result of the war. To this end, the proposed activities should engage with Ukrainian authorities at national and regional level as well as relevant organisations within the R&I ecosystems, such as RTOs, technical universities, research institutes and technology centres, hosting such infrastructures.
  • Activities proposed under this action should include a comprehensive analysis of user needs for Technology Infrastructures, both in the public and the private sector. This analysis should take into account in particular strategic technologies and long-term development needs of the Ukrainian economy.
  • This should lead to an analysis of capacity gaps and the mismatch between supply and demand for Technology Infrastructure facilities and services.
  • Building on these analyses, the project funded under this action will develop an investment agenda for Technology Infrastructures in Ukraine in view of the post-war reconstruction of the country. This agenda should identify priority areas for investments as well as the type of investments that are most urgently needed to foster the innovation capacity of the Ukrainian economy.
Funding Information
  • Funding available: 1 500 000
Eligible Activities
  • The following activities are generally eligible for grants under Horizon Europe:
    • Research and innovation actions (RIA) — Activities that aim primarily to establish new knowledge or to explore the feasibility of a new or improved technology, product, process, service or solution.
    • Innovation actions (IA) — Activities that aim directly to produce plans and arrangements or designs for new, altered or improved products, processes or services. These activities may include prototyping, testing, demonstrating, piloting, large-scale product validation and market replication
    • Coordination and support actions (CSA) — Activities that contribute to the objectives of Horizon Europe.
    • Programme co-fund actions (CoFund) — A programme of activities established or implemented by legal entities managing or funding R&I programmes, other than EU funding bodies.
Expected Outcomes
  • The project funded under this topic will have the following expected outcomes:
    • A comprehensive understanding of the existing landscape of Technology Infrastructures in Ukraine, including existing facilities and their services;
    • Assessment of the loss of capacities in Technology Infrastructures in Ukraine in result of the Russian aggression;
    • A sound understanding of the specific needs of industrial users, including large companies and SMEs, for Technology Infrastructures in Ukraine;
    • An investment agenda for Technology Infrastructures in Ukraine addressing the gaps related to the capacity loss due to war and in view of the future technology development capacity of the Ukrainian industry in support of the reconstruction process.
    • Identification of Technology Centres in Ukraine that could pilot an integrated approach to the provision of Technology Infrastructure facilities and services Ukrainian companies to strengthen the connection between research and industry through technology transfer, lowering the risks for private R&I investments.
Eligibility Criteria
  • Any legal entity, regardless of its place of establishment, including legal entities from no associated third countries or international organisations (including international European research organisations) is eligible to participate (whether it is eligible for funding or not).
