Specific Challenge:

In December 2016, the ECSEL JU Governing Board adopted, with the Lighthouse Initiative Industry4.E, an important effort in the field of the Digitalisation of the European Industry. It was accompanied by a first project Productive4.0 and by the setting up of a LIASE (Lighthouse initiative Advisory Service). The present call is for a Coordination and Support Action to support the Lighthouse Initiative in establishing the Lighthouse and its coordination with amongst other national activities in the field.

Scope:

• Help shaping the Lighthouse Initiative during and beyond H2020;

• Help the networking of respective national and international activities in the field.

It is expected that such an activity is driven by a consortium led by organisations that are active in the field and have experience in coordination and support activities in the context of ECS (electronic components and systems)

Expected Impact:

The following impacts are expected to be addressed:

• A goal-driven, federated effort towards a challenging industrial vision to generate European industrial leadership in Industry digitalisation, and a strong potential for longer term technological innovation and economic exploitation.

• Increased transnational collaboration between the relevant European initiatives in the field.
