Horizon Europe: Publicades les convocatòries del Programa “Digital, Industry and Space” de l’any 2027

La Comissió Europea ha publicat el programa de treball del Clúster 4 Digital, Industry and Space per l’any 2027. La resiliència i la sobirania tecnològica s'han convertit en prioritats renovades per a la UE a causa de l'actual context geopolític i econòmic que ha exposat vulnerabilitats en cadenes de valor crítiques.

El progrés en tecnologies digitals i industrials, inclòs a l'espai, conforma tots els sectors de l'economia i de la societat. Aquestes tecnologies transformen la manera com es desenvolupa la indústria, crea nous productes i serveis, i son fonamental per a qualsevol futur sostenible. 

És imprescindible contribuir a la implementació de la Llei de la Indústria Net-Zero (NZIA) i la Llei de Matèries Primeres Crítiques (CRMA); i reforçar la posició d'Europa en tecnologies digitals, computació d'alt rendiment, intel·ligència artificial, robòtica, comunicació segura, mons virtuals, tecnologies espacials crítiques, tecnologies de fabricació avançades i sostenibles, indústria net-zero, matèries primeres sostenibles i innovadores i l'economia circular.

Aquest clúster té 5 objectius específics (Destinations):

• Destination 1 – Leadership in materials and production for Europe.
• Destination 2 – Developing an agile and secure single market and infrastructure for data-services and trustworthy artificial intelligence services.
• Destination 3 – Achieving open strategic autonomy in digital and emerging enabling technologies.
• Destination 4 – Open Strategic Autonomy in Developing, Deploying and Using global Space-based Infrastructures, Services, Applications and Data.
• Destination 5 – Digital and industrial technologies driving human-centric innovation.
