New or enhanced Innovative Advanced Materials enabled sensing functionality
Pays three European projects EUR 7.5 million each to develop advanced-materials sensors, from multifunctional surfaces to miniaturised wearable devices, with a guaranteed award in each of two research areas.
New or enhanced Innovative Advanced Materials enabled sensing functionality is a European Commission Research and Innovation Action, part of the co-programmed Innovative Advanced Materials for the EU (IAM4EU) partnership, that pays three European projects EUR 7.5 million each to develop advanced-materials sensors — from multifunctional surfaces that sense environmental changes like temperature, pH…
The Commission wants either multifunctional surfaces that sense environmental changes like temperature, pH or pollutants, or miniaturised sensor demonstrators for portable and wearable devices, both built from innovative advanced materials. It wants proposals to address value-chain integration and circularity, not just lab-stage sensing.
