About

Self-sustained customized cyberphysical system experiments for capacity building among European stakeholders, a four year 8,000,000 Euros flagship EU project under the call DT-ICT-01-2019: Smart Anything Everywhere for connecting Digital Innovation Hubs across Europe. The project received the highest score in the evaluation and will start within 2019.

The SMART4ALL consortium consists of 25 European partners with interdisciplinary skills and know-how from universities, research institutes, investors, networking organizations, SMEs, Innovation Hubs and NGOs. The MECOnet is only partner from Montenegro.

The project will build capacity (via Open Calls) amongst European stakeholders through the development of self-sustained, cross-border experiments that transfer knowledge and technology between academia and industry. It targets CLEC (Customized low energy computing) CPS/IoT and combines a set of unique characteristics that join together different cultures, policies, geographical areas and application domains under a common vision.

The application domains targeted are digitized transportation, digitized agriculture, digitized environment and digitized anything.

Open Calls

Are you a System Integrator and/or Technology Provider with experience in the development of CLEC CPS/IoT solutions? Find out the different ways you can join the SMART4ALL Ecosystem in South, Eastern and Central Europe, search for partners and apply to our open calls. Open calls provide unique opportunity to get small or medium grant for your idea.

Temporary SMART4ALL offers three types of grants:


Knowledge Transfer Experiments (KTE), more…

KTEs are a short-term (3 months) internship projects between two different entities from two different Countries (see eligible countries below): one Academic/Industrial partner who act as Sending Organization and one Academic/Industrial partner who act as Host Organization.

Knowledge Transfer Experiments (KTE) comprise a novel type of experiments allowing smaller projects, or less mature ideas to be presented, tested and thus potentially find the fertile ground to grow and reveal its product potentials.

The activities that qualify for financial support are related to the exchange of knowledge of CLEC for CPS and IoT, to be applied in four SMART4ALL verticals with European leadership and strategic importance:

  • Digitized Transport
  • Digitized Environment
  • Digitized Agriculture
  • Digitized Anything

Who can apply?

The following types of organisations are eligible to participate in the call:

  • Universities and other Academic Institutions.
  • SME and Slightly Bigger Companies, as defined in the EU recommendation 2003/361. Slightly Bigger Companies are defined respectively as organisations with a staff headcount below 500 employees and a turnover below €100M.
  • System Integrators and/or Technology Providers, i.e. any type of organisation specialised in technology transfer or system integration, serving the needs of end-users, provided they can be categorised in one of the two previous types of beneficiaries.

For this KTE Open Call, a Sending and Host organisation shall apply together as a consortium. The members of the consortia can agree on a bi-directional transfer of knowledge but there has to be always an organisation sending a member of its staff to an organisation from another country hosting him or her. Additionally, the Leading Partner must always have an Industrial partner status (SME or Slightly Bigger company).

Eligible Countries

For this KTE Open Call, the following countries will be eligible:

Prioritised Countries

Additionally, since one of the goals of SMART4ALL is to support the digital transformation in mainly European countries underrepresented in European funding schemes, by means of cross-border experiments, consortia including at least one member from one of the SEE countries will be prioritised:

Albania, Moldova, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Greece, Hungary, Kosovo, Ukraine

Financial support

The KTE experiments will be supported with a lump sum of up to EUR 8,000 each to cover mobility allowance for implementing the internship.

The consortia will be free to distribute this amount among the two partners. However:

  • Each consortium will need to explain in the online application form how the amount will be distributed between the partners and what category of costs each partner will be responsible for.
  • The grant will be paid to the Leading Partner who will be responsible for its distribution within the consortium. Each consortium will decide which organisation will be the Leading Partner, but it must always have an Industrial Partner status (SME or Slightly Bigger company. Details of the grant distribution among partners will be described in the Sub-Grant Agreement.
  • Before deciding on the distribution of expenditure in the project, attention should be paid to EU and national social security regulations. Social security costs should be borne by the partner who is obliged to do so under the above-mentioned regulations.
