Overview

The call is managed by EU project INDUSAC under the Horizon Europe programme. The Horizon Europe project INDUSAC, aims to financially support short-term (4-8 weeks) research collaborations between academia (students and researchers) and industry (companies), in solving company Challenges. Financial support to third parties (FSTP) is given solely to student members of the co-creation teams.

Details

Expected outcome: 

  • 300 successful collaborations between industry and academia,
  • Supported co-creation projects shall include at least 50% female representation overall (not on the individual co-creation project level).
  • 60% of members of the co-creation teams must be from Widening Countries.
  • Distribution of 900.000 EUR gross for FSTP to student members of the co-creation teams,

Students and researchers are invited to create co-creation teams and solve companies’ Challenges within 4-8 weeks. 

Deadline for submitting a Motivation Letter: 

  • 11.02.2024
  • 30.05.2024
  • 30.10.2024

The Motivation Letter from a co-creation team is considered submitted once all co-creation team members confirm participation in the co-creation team and confirm the terms and conditions.

Although not mandatory, co-creation teams are encouraged to apply with a single strong Motivation Letter rather than multiple less-elaborated applications that may be rejected and thus cost them a valuable opportunity (since the maximum number of Motivation Letters throughout all three cut-off dates is three).
