Road Transport
- “What is it ?” – Get informed
- “What’s in for me ?” – Get involved
- “How to be involved ?” – Get committed

SRIA – System perspective with 4 Pillars

SRIA Pillar 1 - Vehicle technologies and
vehicle propulsion solutions for BEV & FCEV
• Objectives
▶ To establish innovative BEV and FCEV concepts and technologies, for
implementation in the generations of vehicles coming after 2025 and
2030
▶ To create and validate user-centric vehicle concepts in all categories that
fulfil user and operator needs, including both innovative multi-purpose
vehicles, and new tailored right-sized solutions for specific applications,
considering also eco-system aspects beyond vehicle design
▶ To create and prove tools for accelerated product development

SRIA Pillar 2 - Integration of battery
electric vehicles into the energy system
and related charging infrastructure
• User acceptance of charging options is key for the fast development of the EV market.
That implies that the following challenges should be tackled:
▶ Future charging solutions should be universal, paralleling the growth of EV sales, and become a
seamless process: easy, available at any time, while charging duration should be responsive to the
user’s needs.
▶ New technological developments such as smart charging and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) solutions will
need to be progressively implemented, creating a flexible, sustainable, affordable and efficient
charging environment and grid operation.
▶ Upcoming charging solutions should be interoperable in terms of physical interface and information
exchange, enabling different charging solutions to satisfy multiple user needs built upon an
ecosystem with an open architecture
▶ New digital solutions are expected to contribute to improve charging planning and to better display
charging prices, giving to the customer an accurate and real-time perception of the final cost of the
service, as is the case currently for fuels.
▶ Power quality should be ensured

SRIA Pillar 3 - Innovative concepts,
solutions and services for the zero tailpipe
emission mobility of people and goods
• Objectives
▶ Develop and support evidence-based deployment integrated strategies and solutions allowing quick and effective
roll-out and upscale of zero tailpipe vehicle fleets in cities, regions and corridors.
▶ Develop and expand the portfolio of zero tailpipe emission mobility and logistics use-cases, with emphasis on
feasible and higher socio-economic and financial impacts cases. The objective is to leverage the integrated system
approach. (i.e. vehicle, infrastructure, operations and services) to serve the transport demand effectively with zero
emission vehicles.
▶ Demonstration and validation of zero tailpipe emission fleets and associated infrastructure (charging) in connected,
shared and on-demand mobility and logistics networks.
▶ Demonstration and validation of zero emission fleets in high frequency and high capacity bus lines and high
demand freight transport corridors.
▶ Test and learn from use cases to identify and overcome adoption barriers: operational (vehicle performance,
integration with charging infrastructure, etc.) user driving behaviours, user acceptance and legal/regulatory aspects
and providing input to further vehicle and infrastructure developments.
▶ Capacity building and R&I based policy recommendations for the effective transition towards zero tailpipe emission
road transport.

• Data for comparable and reliable assessments
▶ Life-cycle inventory (LCI) data base
▶ Monitoring of the ecological footprint
• Methods and tools
▶ Methods and tools for LCSA tailored to the transport sector
▶ Social LCA for the transport sector
▶ Methods, tools and processes for circular economy
▶ Development of approaches/methods and tools for system-wide life-cycle and CE strategy
modelling
• Assessment and demonstration
▶ Assessment of mobility scenarios
▶ Development and demonstration of CE strategies for zero emission vehicles
▶ Development and demonstration of LCSA- and CE-based mobility concepts and scenarios

How to get ready for Horizon Europe and
find the right partners
Louise Mothersole
Horizon Europe UK National Contact Point

EU Funding and Tender Opportunities Portal
All Topics (competitions) are published on the EU’s Funding and Tender Opportunities Portal
• Create a personal login (top right) then ‘Register your organisation’ (in ‘How to
participate’) to get a Participant Identification Code (PIC)
• Each Topic (competition) has its own webpage (in ‘Search Funding & Tenders’) with
everything you need to know – read it all (expand the sections to see the More Info…)

How do I build a winning consortium?
(the most frequently asked question)

Formal consortium building mechanisms
EU Funding & Tender Opportunities portal – Every topic has a ‘Partner Search’ function where
you can upload your profile and review others that have done so
Brokerage events – European Commission, Technology Platforms, Co-Programmed
Partnerships, Enterprise Europe Network, UK’s KTN, NCPs from around Europe, etc may hold
events with e.g., Meeting Mojo, B2B and other tools
Partner Search – under the How to participate tab on the EU funding and tender opportunities
portal where you can search for past projects and organisations
CORDIS – a more useful way of finding past projects and participants and allows you to contact
them
Searching the formal consortium building
mechanisms is a bit like looking for a
needle in a haystack – they all look like
needles so finding the ones for you can
be difficult

What constitutes a winning consortium?
One that can deliver the expected outcomes within the stated scope and budget (and give the
evaluators confidence that they can)
Common to see universities, big business, small business, research and technologies organisations,
consultancies, local authorities, national authorities all within the one consortium. There is no ‘typical’
or ‘model’ consortium structure/membership
Useful to include exploitation partners – someone who is going to take the outputs of the project and
actually implement them (e.g. an automotive/aerospace/marine/rail/etc., industry) to show immediate
impact
Useful to include the end user community, possibly as an advisory board or associate partners (not direct
beneficiaries but costs e.g. travel can be included in ‘other costs’), again to demonstrate route to
implementation

Eligibility criteria
There are several types of eligibility, and it does get confusing:
• Eligibility to be part of a consortium/project
• Eligibility to receive funding as part of a consortium/project
• Eligibility to be one of the minimum number of participants necessary in a consortium/project

Eligibility criteria explained
Stated in the General Annexes
• Any legal entity, regardless of its place of establishment, including legal entities from non-associated
third countries or international organisations (including international European research
organisations) is eligible to participate (whether it is eligible for funding or not) although exceptions
may apply in specific topics so check the text
• To be eligible for funding, applicants must be established in one of the eligible countries, i.e.:
• Member States of the European Union, including their outermost regions;
• Overseas Countries and Territories (OCTs) linked to the Member States
• Eligible non-EU countries:
• Countries associated to Horizon Europe
• Low- and middle-income countries
• Legal entities which are established in countries not listed above will be eligible for funding if
provided for in the specific call conditions, or if their participation is considered essential for
implementing the action by the granting authority
• Consortium Composition:
• At least one independent legal entity established in a Member State; and
• At least two other independent legal entities, each established in different Member States or
Associated Countries

Associate Countries
• European Commission has published a Q&A on the UK’s participation in Horizon Europe
“Thanks to the Associated Country status, UK participants will have the same rights as EU
participants, with the very limited aforementioned exceptions. UK entities are eligible for funding at
the same rates and under the same conditions. They can lead project consortia. They also count
towards the minimum number of countries in calls for transnational projects.”
• Countries that associated to Horizon 2020, and are expected to associate to Horizon Europe:
• Albania
• Armenia
• BosniaandHerzegovina
• FaroeIslands
• Georgia
• Iceland
• Israel
• Republic of North Macedonia
• Republic of Moldova
• Montenegro
• Norway
• Serbia
• Countries considering association include Canada, Japan, Australia and others
• Switzerland
• Tunisia
• Turkey
• Ukraine

International Participation
Some topics state international participation is essential, e.g. “In addition to the conditions described in
General Annex B, the consortium must include at least three legal entities from three different African
countries”
Some topics state international collaboration is advised, e.g. “In order to achieve the expected outcomes,
international cooperation is advised, in particular with projects or partners from the US, Japan, Canada, South
Korea, Singapore, Australia”
Some topics state limitations on international collaboration, e.g. “participation to the call is limited to
legal entities established in Member States, associated countries, OECD countries, African Union Countries, and
MERCOSUR, CARIFORUM, and Andean Community”
Most countries around the world have Horizon Europe National Contact Points – find their details
here and there is a full list of participating countries published too

The gender dimension
Eligibility: Gender Equality Plan (applicable from 2022 onwards)
Participants that are public bodies, research organisations or higher education institutions
established in a Member State or Associated Country must have a gender equality plan in
place, fulfilling mandatory process-related requirements
Award Criteria: Integration of the gender dimension
Addressing the gender dimension in research and innovation content entails taking into
account sex and gender in the whole research & innovation process
Ranking Criteria (for tied scores): Gender balance
Third criteria - Gender balance among personnel named in the proposal who will be primarily
responsible for carrying out the research and/or innovation activities, and who are included in
the researchers table in the proposal

The best ways to form winning teams
Being an effective networker is much more useful than submitting a profile into a portal and awaiting
contacts. Don’t wait to be invited to the party, push yourself forward
• Use your existing professional networks – if you don’t know who the sector leaders are in Europe
then you should find out (e.g., use LinkedIn to connect to people from possible consortium partners)
• Search CORDIS for previous Horizon 2020 projects that cover similar issues and contact the
participants. All projects must disseminate their results and often hold workshops, etc.
• Join the relevant networks, associations and partnerships, ask your NCP for suggestions
• Be an active member – say ‘hi’ when you join the virtual room. Ask questions, support others’
opinions, act as if you are already well known to all in the virtual room
• Volunteer to draft working papers, take notes, send in useful information – be helpful
• Speak up at workshops – demonstrate Thought Leadership
• Show that you would be a valuable partner for collaborative projects and that without you they
won’t win – you have the secret sauce that is necessary for their success

• European Technology Platforms are recognised by the European Commission as ‘the voice of the sector’ with
regards to research and innovation.
• Other associations support networking, technical fora, technology roadmap development, etc.
• Examples in Mobility:
• European Road Transport Research Advisory Council (ERTRAC)
• European Automotive Research Partners Association (EARPA)
• Waterborne Technology Platform
• Alliance for Logistic Innovation through Collaboration in Europe (ALICE)
• Advisory Council for Aviation Research in Europe (ACARE)
• European Rail Research Advisory Council (ERRAC)
• European Platform for Smart Systems Integration (EPoSS)
• CIVITAS – Cleaner and better transport in cities
• The ETPs often have Working Groups that create strategic research and innovation agenda and these are used
by the EC to inform the Work Programme – most Co-Programmed Partnerships have sprung from ETPs
