Summary
Forthcoming EU call topic HORIZON-CL4-2027-SPACE-03-12 · HORIZON Innovation Actions. Part of call HORIZON-CL4-2027-03: SPACE. Opens 2027-03-09; next deadline 2027-09-02. Topic page: https://ec.europa.eu/info/funding-tenders/opportunities/portal/screen/opportunities/topic-details/HORIZON-CL4-2027-SPACE-03-12
Expected Outcome: The topic encompasses actions within the scope of the co-programmed European Partnership on Globally Competitive Space Systems (‘Space Partnership’) in the areas of satellite communication (SatCom), Earth Observation (EO) and New Commercial Space Transportation Solutions and is part of cohesive activities in the domain of digital developments under the grand heading of “digitalisation for commercial space solutions”. Under the area of Access to Space related to New Space Transportation Solutions, this topic focusses on the maturation of disruptive/game changing digital technologies[1] required to strengthen competitiveness in this domain. Project results are expected to contribute to one or several of the following expected outcomes: - Improved space transportation systems and launcher sustainability, reduced costs and operational constraints as well as enhanced system monitoring and autonomy; - Innovative technologies for New Space Transportation Solutions, including addressing software and digital tools.
This will contribute to developing, deploying global space-based services applications and data and contribute to fostering the EU's space sector competitiveness and sustainability, as stated in the expected impact of this destination. Scope: To tackle the above-mentioned expected outcomes, R&I is expected to address the maturation of disruptive/game changing digital technologies required to strengthen competitiveness in this domain and sustainability by assessing the impact of these technologies (e.g. by allowing the monitoring of sustainable solutions). More specifically, R&I in one or more of the following areas are expected to be…

- Most Horizon Europe calls score three criteria (the ERC uses excellence alone). Excellence: clarity and ambition of the objectives, and the soundness of the methodology.
- Impact: credible pathways to the expected outcomes, and measures to communicate and exploit results.
- Quality and efficiency of implementation: the work plan, resources and the consortium's capacity.
