Breakthrough innovation in detection and imaging technologies
ATTRACT – Open Call for Proposals 2018

ATTRACT is calling for researchers, entrepreneurs and companies to propose breakthrough projects on pioneering imaging and sensor technologies .

The ATTRACT Project will fund 170 breakthrough technology concepts in the domain of detection and imaging technologies across Europe. The projects will be awarded €100,000 each in seed funding to carry out their idea.

Proposals for projects are requested in the following domains: sensors, front and back end electronics, data acquisition systems and computing, software and integration.
The goal of ATTRACT is to transform breakthrough technologies developed for fundamental research purposes into breakthrough innovations that can be turned into sound industrial applications and provide added value for society.

Breakthrough proposals, meaning highly novel technology concepts, or combinations of existing technology concepts, that lead to a significant increase in performance or usability with respect to existing concepts. They also have the potential to create an entire new range of applications and markets that can change our society.

Detection & imaging technologies affect all major technology areas:
- Advanced Manufacturing
- Medical devices and imaging
- Life Sciences & biotechnology
- Clean & green technology
- Sensors & automation
- Materials & coating
- Conventional energy
- Information & communication
- Microelectronics

Project proposals are to be jointly submitted by groups of at least two independent partners (can be from the same country). A legal entity may participate in more than one proposal across the above domains, and the same group of participants may submit more than one project proposal in the same or other domains.

Deadline: October 31, 2018
