ENVELOPE – Open Call 1 is now open
ENVELOPE is organising two rounds of open calls to select sub-projects for the roll-out of 3rd party experiments on ENVELOPE experimental infrastructure. A total of € 2.700.000 will be provided in the form of lump sum funding of up to €300.000 with max €60.000 per beneficiary.
Proposals should target to:
i) demonstrate the reusability of the ENVELOPE developed features by third party stakeholders and potentially other verticals, and/or
ii) extend the provided infrastructure for experimentation as a service with additional functionalities, potentially tailored to the needs of other verticals/industries.
FSTP (Financial Support for Third Parties) recipients: Beneficiaries must be consortia composed of SMEs, research institutes and universities (at least 50% of the consortium members must be SMEs) from EU member states or associated countries to Horizon Europe. Applying consortia can include research institutes or universities. Each consortium must consist of 5 legal beneficiaries maximum.
All applicants should provide their Participant Identification Code (PIC), which is a 9-digit number that serves as a unique identifier for legal entities participating in European funding programmes.
Open Call 1 is now open!
Feasibility Check: 19 May-27 of June, 2025 (Extended)
Final Submission Deadline: 31 July, 2025
Budget: The budget available for grants is €1,350,000. Therefore, a minimum of five projects will be funded. The remaining budget will be allocated to projects funded under Open Call 2.
Proposals should target to:
i) demonstrate the reusability of the ENVELOPE developed features by third party stakeholders; OC beneficiaries have to make use of at least 1 ENVELOPE API and/or ENVELOPE Enabler in order to validate the platform’s functionality, and/or
ii) extend the provided infrastructure for experimentation as a service with additional functionalities, possibly tailored to the needs of other verticals; the extension should target the design, development, integration and validation of a new (ENVELOPE) Enabler/API.
Information on the ENVELOPE APIs and Enablers is provided in the document available here. The case study where these APIs/Enablers will be applied can either be related to the automotive sector or on another vertical domain.
