SEC-10-FCT-2017: Integration of detection capabilities and data fusion with utility providers’ networks

This program supports the development of systems for detecting controlled substances. 

Activities supported 

Proposals should address the deployment of detection systems in large and medium cities, in existing utility networks, or a combination of such networks. Proposals shall address sewage networks and quality of air monitoring networks, and may address other networks. Proposals should also provide for a mobile platform equipped to ascertain the composition and location of suspicious measurements, once data have been provided by the networked detection systems. Proposals should provide for the prototype of a system controlling the detection systems and capable of fusing data provided by a variety of such networks, and of interfacing with other networks. 

Requirements 

The applicant must be a consortium of at least 3 different unrelated legal entities in 3 different Horizon 2020 affiliated countries.  

Financing  

The Commission considers that proposals requesting a contribution from the EU of EUR 8 million would allow this area to be addressed appropriately. Nonetheless, this does not preclude submission and selection of proposals requesting other amounts. Funding rate is 70% for profit seeking organizations and 100% for non-profits. 

Upcoming calls 

This program will have 1 more call on 2017 August 24 which has a budget of 16 million euros.
