CSA for Lighthouse Initiative Mobility.E - ECSEL-2018-4-CSA-MobilityE

Deadline: May 24, 2018  
CALL EXPIRED

Specific Challenge:

In December 2016, the ECSEL JU Governing Board adopted, with the Lighthouse Initiative MOBILITY.E, an important effort in the field of Autonomous driving. It was accompanied by a first project Autodrive and by the set 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:

Proposals should aim at coordinating the relevant stakeholders, project consortia, as well as policy makers, in full collaboration with the LIASE, addressing all of the following:

• Establish a communication platform for all stakeholders;
• Promote the objectives of the Lighthouse Initiative;
• Facilitate connections between the stakeholders;
• Help shaping the Lighthouse Initiative during and beyond H2020;
• Organise outreach events;
• Facilitate dialogue between all stakeholders;
• 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 leadership in Electric, Connected and Automated driving, and a strong potential for longer term technological innovation and economic exploitation.

• Involvement and commitment from key stakeholders.

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

• Spreading of excellence on Electric, Connected and Automated driving in Europe.

• Increased awareness of European activities in this field.

CAUTION: The proposals must include a draft plan for the exploitation and dissemination of the results!
