€2,000,000 total; 1 grant expected

Supports the use of AI to accelerate the societal and market uptake of research results, with at least 100 test cases and guidance for responsible knowledge valorisation.

--- ## Description This Horizon Europe Coordination and Support Action (CSA) aims to harness artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning to enhance the valorisation of research outcomes—helping research and innovation (R&I) actors bring their results to market, inform policy, and benefit society. The project will develop and test an AI-powered valorisation toolbox, integrating EU AI-ethics policies and social sciences perspectives, to guide researchers and innovators in identifying, planning, and executing pathways for societal and market uptake. At least 100 use cases of research-based innovative solutions addressing societal challenges will be supported, with insights and best practices consolidated into guidance for responsible AI use in knowledge valorisation. The action also promotes multistakeholder collaboration with SMEs, social enterprises, NGOs, and local communities. --- ## Due Dates - Opening date: May 22, 2025 - Submission deadline: September 23, 2025, 17:00 Brussels time - Single-stage application process --- ## Funding Amount - Total available: €2,000,000 (lump sum grant) - Expected number of grants: 1 - Project funding is provided as a lump sum under Horizon Europe rules. --- ## Eligibility - Open to consortia including legal entities from EU Member States and Horizon Europe Associated Countries. - Proposals must meet the general eligibility criteria outlined in the [Horizon Europe Work Programme General Annexes](https://ec.europa.eu/info/funding-tenders/opportunities/docs/2021-2027/horizon/wp-call/2025/wp-14-general-annexes_horizon-2025_en.pdf). - Third-country entities may participate under specific provisions. - Applicants should be capable of delivering large-scale, multi-stakeholder collaboration and impact. --- ## Application Process - Proposals must be submitted electronically via the [EU Funding & Tenders Portal](https://ec.europa.eu/info/funding-tenders/opportunities/portal/screen/opportunities/topic-details/HORIZON-CL4-INDUSTRY-2025-01-HUMAN-62?isExactMatch=true&status=31094501,31094502&order=DESC&pageNumber=6&pageSize=50&sortBy=startDate). - Use the standard application form for Horizon Europe CSA calls. - Evaluation criteria, scoring, and thresholds are detailed in the [Work Programme General Annexes](https://ec.europa.eu/info/funding-tenders/opportunities/docs/2021-2027/horizon/wp-call/2025/wp-14-general-annexes_horizon-2025_en.pdf). - Proposals are evaluated in a single stage; only one project will be selected for funding. - Further guidance and templates are available in the [Online Manual](https://webgate.ec.europa.eu/funding-tenders-opportunities/display/OM/Online+Manual). --- ## Additional Information - The action must deliver an AI-powered valorisation toolbox, addressing ethical, legal, and social dimensions. - Multistakeholder engagement (including SMEs, NGOs, social enterprises, and communities) is required. - Outcomes should include a knowledge base of best practices and guidance for responsible AI in knowledge valorisation. - Lump sum funding simplifies financial reporting but requires clear work packages and deliverables. --- ## External Links - [Call Topic & Submission Portal](https://ec.europa.eu/info/funding-tenders/opportunities/portal/screen/opportunities/topic-details/HORIZON-CL4-INDUSTRY-2025-01-HUMAN-62?isExactMatch=true&status=31094501,31094502&order=DESC&pageNumber=6&pageSize=50&sortBy=startDate) - [Horizon Europe Programme Guide](https://ec.europa.eu/info/funding-tenders/opportunities/docs/2021-2027/horizon/guidance/programme-guide_horizon_en.pdf) - [Standard Application Form (HE CSA)](https://ec.europa.eu/info/funding-tenders/opportunities/docs/2021-2027/horizon/temp-form/af/af_he-csa_en.pdf) - [Online Manual](https://webgate.ec.europa.eu/funding-tenders-opportunities/display/OM/Online+Manual) - [National Contact Points](https://ec.europa.eu/info/funding-tenders/opportunities/portal/screen/support/ncp) --- ## Contact Information | Resource | Details | |----------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Funder Contact | [Contact the European Commission](https://commission.europa.eu/about-european-commission/contact_en) | | Research Enquiry Service | [Research Enquiry Service](https://research-and-innovation.ec.europa.eu/contact-us/research-enquiry-service_en) | | National Contact Points (NCPs) | [Find your NCP](https://ec.europa.eu/info/funding-tenders/opportunities/portal/screen/support/ncp) | | IT Helpdesk | [Portal IT Helpdesk](https://ec.europa.eu/info/funding-tenders/opportunities/portal/screen/support/helpdesks/contact-form) | ---
