- ODI: Horizon 2020 SME Instrument for ICT
- To who: Game developers with ambitious, but high risk ideas
- Any SME having a sound, ambitious, potentially disruptive but high risk innovation in their hands that is based on technology demonstrated in industrially relevant environment and that has a potentially “fast market up-take”
- How much funding is available: In phase 1, 50 000 € for a feasibility study taking 6 months; in phase 2, from 0,5 to 2,5 million “for bringing an innovation idea to industrial readiness and maturity for market introduction” taking from 12 to 24 months. Funding from phase 1 is not required for getting funding from phase 2.
- What is the funding rate:
- Phase 1: a lump sum
- Phase 2: 70% (/100%) +25% indirect costs
- Other key requirements:
- Only for-profit SME’s, only one SME per proposal
- A list of up to five relevant publications, and/or products, services (including widely- used datasets or software), or other achievements relevant to the call content is required

- REFLECTIVE-7: Advanced 3D modelling for accessing and understanding European cultural assets
- To who: Game developers developing games based on historical 3D models
- Research on developing new methods and tools for automated 3D modelling and analysis of physical cultural resources and assets (e.g. cultural heritage sites, monuments, sculptures, archaeological sites…) beyond simple digital reconstruction. Projects can explore solutions such as the consolidation of imperfect data, spatio-temporal analysis, modelling/simulation of material degradation, joint reconstruction within and across collections and semantic-aware representation. Test-beds for such technological development should validate the practical application and analytic potential of new models for research, interpretation, scholarship and innovation in curation and dissemination. The resulting models should enable greater understanding of European tangible cultural assets by researchers and citizens as well as direct reuse for innovative and creative applications.
- How much funding is available: A contribution from the EU of between EUR 2 and 4 million
- What is the funding rate: 100% for research +25% for indirect costs and 70% for innovation +25% for indirect costs
- Other key requirements:
- Three legal entities is required to make a proposal. Each of the three shall be established in a different Member State or associated country. All three legal entities shall be independent of each other.
