SMART4ALL Second Open Call
Application submission starts on 15 March 2021, 00:00 CET
Submission deadline is 15 June 2021, 18:00 CEST
1. What is KTE about?
KTE stands for Knowledge Transfer Experiments. A KTE is a short 3-month internship experiment where a Sending organisation will send a member of its staff to a Host organisation based in a different country in order to transfer a certain knowledge related to the SMART4ALL technologies and verticals. Beneficiaries will be provided up to EUR 8,000 to cover mobility allowance for implementing the internship.
2. Who can apply to the KTE Second Open Call?
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.
3. Can two Academic entities apply to KTE Open Call?
Any SMART4ALL Open Call requires that, at least, one entity is an SME/Slightly Bigger Company and that this entity is the leading partner. Therefore, two academic entities cannot apply together.
The possible combinations are:
| Sending | Host |
|---|---|
| Academic | Industrial |
| Industrial | Academic |
| Industrial | Industrial |
4. How do I find a partner to apply with?
Through the SMART4ALL Matchmaking & Partner Search Service you have access to SMART4ALL ecosystem for:
● Matchmaking among technological partners as well as between technological and business parties, based on specific requirements, offerings, and characteristics.
● Partner search for SMART4ALL Open Calls.
5. Can I still apply if I can not travel due to Covid-19 restrictions?
Yes, beneficiaries who cannot travel due to Covid-19 restrictions will have the option to change the amount of the financial support to a lump sum of up to EUR 6,000. In these cases, the experiment could be executed remotely. This decision can only be made prior to the signature of the Sub-Grant Agreement (SGA). After the SGA has been signed, no changes will be allowed and the beneficiary will have to carry out the experiment as per the agreement.
6. Can I apply if I don’t have a company or I am not a staff member of any Academic / Industrial organisation?
No, you must own or take part of a legal entity to apply to this KTE Open Call. You must be a staff member, meaning:
