IA: activities aimed at producing plans and arrangements or designs for new, altered or improved products, processes or servicesPCP: Pre-Commercial Procurement actions aim to encourage public procurement of research, development and validation of new solutions that can bringsignificant quality and efficiency improvements in areas of public interest, whilst opening market opportunities for industry and researchers active in Europe. Itprovides EU funding for a group of procurers (‘buyers group’) to undertake together one joint PCP procurement, so that there is one joint call for tender, onejoint evaluation of offers, and a lead procurer3 awarding the R&D service contracts in the name and on behalf of the buyers group.

Scope: Proposals should contribute to efficient, climate and environmentally friendly transport that will be safe and seamless for all citizens

Innovation ActionProject Indicative funding: 1 to 3 MEur - Total 10 MEurPrevious projects: www.gsa.europa.eu

DT-SPACE-EGNSS-2-2020: EGNSS applications fostering digitisation

Scope: Actions should deliver innovative applications integrating digital technologies like Internet of Things (IoT), cloud computing, big data and robotics

Secure financial

transactions

Tracking solutions

Augmented reality

Commercial LBS

• Foster the adoption of EGNOS and Galileo in mass markets

• Applications that will make best use of EGNSS innovative featuressuch as better multipath resistance, authentication…

• Foster competitiveness of the European GNSS industry in the areaof mobile applications, with special focus on SMEs

• Maximise public benefits by supporting the development ofapplications that will address major societal challenges such ashealth, citizen safety, mobility, regional growth etc.

PRS (Public Regulated Service) applications are not in scope of this action

Search and Rescue

Surveying and mapping

Efficient Agriculture

Social and Professional applications

Scope: Proposals may address social and professional applications to support societal resilience, wellbeing of EU citizens, emergency and disaster management

Emergency and disaster

management

• Professional application should leverage Galileo and EGNOSdifferentiators in order to reduce the price and increase theeffectiveness of the solution (Authentication – SAR– High Accuracy)

• Synergies with Copernicus

• Proposals addressing Galileo SAR service should leverage the Forwardand Return Link Services to improve the users’ safety

• Emergency and disaster management applications should targetintegration of different sensors and position sources to identify,locate and react in critical situations

• Applications in agriculture should improve the productivity anddecrease the negative environmental impact

Stand out from the crowd!

10

DO use real EGNOS and Galileo signals. If simulations are needed, explain why and how.

DO include references to previous research and results: available technologies, prototypes, infrastructure, results and what/how you will build on them

DO produce practical tools useful for the GNSS developer community

DO include trials, demonstration, testing involving final users in their real life procedures

DO involve newcomers. Especially partners with market access and innovation track record in GNSS applications are an asset

DON’T just integrate a GNSS receiver, but focus on E-GNSS research and its differentiators

DON’T limit yourself to the GNSS applications listed in the WP, these are examples

DON’T focus on GNSS receiver development, the objective of the call is applications

Select applications where EGNOS and Galileo differentiators are key for the product/service success
