Dear NCPs of Cluster 4,

We are happy to announce the launch of the first Industry 5.0 Award – an award which recognises EU funded projects that make an outstanding contribution to building a more human-centric, sustainable and resilient European industry.

This could be by developing innovative technologies, industrial or supply chain processes, new business models, and/or by advancing the understanding of human-centricity, sustainability and resilience in industry.

Eligible projects must have obtained funding from Horizon 2020, Horizon Europe or the European Institute of Innovation and Technology. The official start date of the project must be after 31 August 2018 and the projects results should have clear application in industry. The deadline for submission is 1 April 2022 – 17:00 CET (Brussels time).

The winner will receive communication support from the European Commission, including the preparation of a promotional video, social media publicity through Commission channels and an article in the Horizon Magazine. Finalists will be invited to the award Ceremony during the annual R&I Days in June 2022 where they will be able to exhibit their projects.

More information can be found on the dedicated website: https://ec.europa.eu/info/research-and-innovation/research-area/industrial-research-and-innovation/industry-50/award_en.

Should you know projects that are eligible, please encourage them to apply.

Kind regards,

The HE NCP “Digital, Industry and Space” Secretariat
