Key points:
- Applicants must demonstrate ownership of or access to the necessary knowledge assets.
- Innovation Action, with a budget of up to EUR 2.50 million per project; two projects per cluster are expected to be funded.
- Maximum of 6 partners per consortium.
- End users must be represented as beneficiaries in the consortium.
- Proposals must include a business plan/exploitation strategy and identify the beneficiary(ies) (e.g. industry, company, public authority, etc.) responsible for the scaling-up of the solutions.

An information day was organised on 16 October with the call topic covered in the event recording from 16:00:50.
