Good news for the POLINA consortium – the proposal that was submitted in March 2023 received a very positive evaluation and was selected by the EIC for funding under the call HORIZON-EIC-2023-PATHFINDEROPEN-01.
The Pathfinder programme generates highly innovative results and provides exciting insights into a potential future world. The EIC Pathfinder consists of two different approaches. While the PF Open supports projects in any field of science, technology and application (bottom-up approach), the PF Challenge supports projects within predefined thematic areas (top-down approach).
EIC Pathfinder Open supports early stage development of such future technologies (e.g. various activities at low Technology Readiness Levels 1-4), based on high-risk/high-gain science-towards-technology breakthrough research (including ‘deep-tech’).
POLINA’s consortium is very glad to be involved in the EIC-funded project: the Pathfinder Open.
