Summary
Open EU call topic EDF-EDIP-P-2027-LS-IRA-PE · EDF Lump Sum Grants. Part of call EDF-EDIP-P-2027-LS-IRA: 2nd call for proposals for industrial reinforcement actions under the Programme. Next deadline 2027-02-16. Topic page: https://ec.europa.eu/info/funding-tenders/opportunities/portal/screen/opportunities/topic-details/EDF-EDIP-P-2027-LS-IRA-PE
Expected Impact: Projects are expected to deliver results aligned with the expected results set out in this call topic and to evidence their contribution through dedicated KPIs defined in the proposal. Expected results include: • tangible capacity increases in EU-based production enabling the ramp-up of the targeted platforms or end-products, with demonstrated contribution to competitiveness; • improved resilience & geographical distribution of supply and industrial capability, reducing single points of failure across forging/machining, key sub-systems, composites and assembly/integration; • strengthened availability and security of supply of the targeted platforms or end-products with identified risks and exposure to the risk of materialisation of conventional military threats; • and measurable lead-time reductions, establishment or availability of reserved capacity where applicable, and workforce trained to operate and sustain the reinforced production lines (including, where relevant, MaaS and dual-use conversion pathways). Proposals shall define, baseline and track KPIs such as added throughput (e.g., units/month of platforms/end-products or critical sub-systems; tonnes/month or batches for forging/machining/composites where relevant), time-to-rate, lead-time reduction, yield/quality improvements, qualified output delivered, reserved capacity parameters, numbers of staff trained, and indicators evidencing risk mitigation (e.g., supply-chain robustness, integration maturity, maintainability readiness and obsolescence management outcomes). Where implemented, the physical and cyber protection WP is expected to deliver…

- 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.
