Production of the Future – the Calls
The economic performance of Austria strongly depends on its manufacturing industry. The ability to manufacture internationally competitive products and to increase productivity is key to the economic growth of Austria as a highly industrialised and knowledge based country. And innovations in the manufacturing sector will continue to be an indispensable basis for added value and employment in the future.
The RTI Initiative Production of the Future will make available a total amount of EUR 24.5 million for a range of funding measures in 2016.
Open calls
The 18th call under the Production of the Future programme invites proposals for Austrian flagship projects on the topic “Assistance Systems in the Context of Man-machine-cooperation”. The call supports the further strategically alignment of R&D in the manufactoring sector.
The 17th call under the Production of the Future programme is carried out as part of the European Research Area Network M-ERA.Net – ERA.Net for Materials Research and Innovation. The M-ERA.Net provides coordinated funding for transnational projects and is supported by 41 funding organisations from 28 European countries and 4 countries outside Europe (Taiwan, South Africa, Brazil, Russia).
The 16th Call under the Production of the Future programme invites proposals for transnational cooperative RTD projects together with the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS). The second bilateral call with CAS addresses the topic of “Advanced Materials”.
