The European Commission has opened the call for applications for selecting members of the commission expert groups on five ‘Missions’ within the Horizon Europe programme. The missions include: adaptation to climate change; cancer; healthy oceans, seas coastal and inland waters; climate-neutral and smart cities; soil health and food.
Each of the Mission Boards will consists of up to 15 members appointed for up to 18 months, and meeting for a minimum of 4 times per year to discuss and accomplish the various tasks associated with the definition of specific missions and the design of their implementation.
Deadline: 11 June 2019

Horizon Impact Award
To illustrate the wider socio-economic benefits of the EU investment in R&I and to encourage project beneficiaries to best manage and utilise their research results, the European Commission awards on an annual basis a recognition prize for rewarding beneficiaries that have successfully demonstrated effective exploitation and uptake of their projects’ R&I results. Five winners will be selected by the evaluation jury for their achievements. The prizes are monetary and each of the five winners will receive EUR 10.000.

Advanced nuclear systems for increased sustainability and first Generation-IV reactors are expected to be fully operational around the world in coming decades. In the meantime, all new concepts and designs currently under development, both in Europe and worldwide, will need to demonstrate compliance with evolving and ever more stringent safety requirements. In this context, a significant increase in the level of safety is expected to be demonstrated. Advanced designs should show increased resilience to severe accidents, while also offering major advantages in terms of one or more of: use of uranium resource, reduction of high-level waste production and increased proliferation resistance.
Planned Opening date: 15 May 2019

To replace fossil energy with sustainable alternatives that provide the same flexibility and convenience of use, we need to store sustainable energy on a large scale and for a long time in new kind of energy storage compounds. This can be done by direct conversion of sunlight into storable chemicals that can be stored for a virtually unlimited time. At present, these processes can be performed at the level of small prototype devices at high cost. Therefore, research and innovation are needed to bring these approaches from infancy to maturity. The production of clean forms of storable chemical energy from direct sunlight is the next step.

Twelve JPI Oceans member countries together with Brazil launched a call for transnational research projects worth some €2.9 million to study the sources, distribution and impact of microplastics in the marine environment.

The EuChemS-initiated multinational call for projects on “solar-driven chemistry” was signed by 5 national funding organisations and was published on 14 December. The challenge, namely, the conversion of solar energy into chemical compounds through technical processes, and by means of artificial compounds and using available raw materials (carbon dioxide, water) remains a visionary goal. Many fundamental scientific questions will need to be answered before it can be implemented in a meaningful way on a technical scale, but the social impact of such advances is tremendous. More information on the call available online here.
Deadline: Wednesday 13 February 2019.

The challenge is to develop a safe and sustainable battery for electric-vehicles through the development of new materials and chemistries making use of abundant, sustainable low cost materials, which are easily available in Europe. Solutions are required to provide the same or better performance than vehicles with internal combustion engines and to be capable of recharging the electric vehicle within a time equivalent to fill a conventional gasoline/diesel fuel tank.
This prize will contribute significantly to the decarbonisation of Europe for the benefit of the EU’s economy and its citizens.
