La convocatoria cierra el próximo 5 de mayo de 2020. Cubre un rango muy amplio de áreas (se pueden ver más adelante) y tiene gran relevancia internacional con 28 países participantes.
La financiación proviene, por una parte, de la empresa común ECSEL JU (154M€), y por otra, de la Agencia Estatal de Investigación (AEI, 1,3M€) y del Ministerio de Asuntos Económicos y Transformación Digital (MINAETD, 10M€), que financian directamente a centros de investigación, centros tecnológicos y empresas españoles.
ECSEL Joint Undertaking (https://www.ecsel.eu/) es una empresa común público-privada que financia investigación, desarrollo e innovación en Sistemas y Componentes Electrónicos (ECS) como tecnologías clave para la era de la economía digital y de acuerdo a la normativa que lo estableció (COUNCIL REGULATION (EU) No 561/2014 of 6 May 2014 establishing the ECSEL Joint Undertaking).
Asociaciones industriales, estados miembros y la Comisión Europea forman ECSEL JU. ECSEL JU financia proyectos de investigación, desarrollo e innovación que incluyen ECS a través de convocatorias anuales de proyectos transnacionales.
Se encuentra abierta la convocatoria 2020 (https://www.ecsel.eu/calls/calls-2020). Esta convocatoria incluye dos tipos de instrumentos:
- Acciones de innovación H2020-ECSEL-2020-1-IA-two-stage (ECSEL-IA)
- Acciones de investigación e innovación H2020-ECSEL-2020-2-RIA-two-stage – (ECSEL-RIA)
Además de la financiación directa de ECSEL JU (2020-1-IA 93M€ y 2020-2-RIA 61M€), la Agencia Estatal de Investigación (AEI) y el Ministerio de Asuntos Económicos y Transformación Digital (MINAETD) financian entidades públicas y privadas españolas con presupuestos de 1,3M€ y 10M€ respectivamente.
ECSEL JU promueve ECS como tecnologías críticas básicas en un amplísimo rango de áreas y financia proyectos de gran envergadura en lo que se refiere a consorcios y presupuestos. Pueden ver debajo las áreas y objetivos de la convocatoria abierta.
