Advanced sensor technologies and multimodal sensor integration
Funds around five projects, each worth EUR 4 to 6 million, to bring multimodal photonic sensors to market across healthcare, transport and industry.
This topic is one of seven filed under the same call, HORIZON-CL4-2025-04, sharing the single 2 October 2025 deadline; at EUR 25,000,000 for five expected grants, it funds more individual projects than any of its six sibling topics, which range down to a single EUR 5,000,000 grant. Overall, funded activities are expected to start at TRL 3 and reach TRL 7 by the project's end, alongside the topic's…
The Commission wants Innovation Actions that combine at least two sensing technologies — with at least one photonic method such as LIDAR, optical tomography or fibre sensing — into working multimodal systems. Proposals must demonstrate their sensors in at least three real-world use cases, from medical diagnostics to precision agriculture or infrastructure monitoring.
