EuroHPC JU: High Performance Computing

The EuroHPC JU allows the European Union and the EuroHPC JU participating countries to coordinate their efforts and pool their resources to make Europe a world leader in supercomputing.

EURAMET: European Metrology Partnership

EURAMET's mission is to develop and disseminate an integrated, cost effective and internationally competitive measurement infrastructure for Europe.

Co-programmed

ADRA: AI-Data-Robotics

This Partnership is the European focal point for AI, Data and Robotics, and the entry point for organisations willing to collaborate and shape directly with the European Commission the direction these three domains of application will take.

Photonics21 Association

The Photonics21 association is based on the European Technology Platform Photonics21 which has more than 4000 members from industry, science and research institutes. The purpose is to define and align the various partners on the Innovation and Research Topics.

Made in Europe

The Made In Europe partnership is the voice and driver for sustainable manufacturing in Europe based on joined expertise and resources. The Partnership will contribute to a competitive, green, digital, resilient and human-centric manufacturing industry in Europe.

CSP: Clean Steel - Low - Carbon Steelmaking

The Clean Steel Partnership’s mission is a steel industry driven proactive adjustment of the future skills based on demands developed by the industry and for the industry.

Processes4Planet

The Processes4Planet (P4Planet) Partnership aim is to transform the European process industries to achieve circularity and overall climate neutrality at the EU level by 2050 while enhancing their global competitiveness.

S.P.A.C.E.: Globally Competitive Space Systems

SPACE, composed of SME4SPACE, Eurospace, ESRE, EASTRO and EASN, aims to facilitate the emergence of larger ambitions for Space Research & Development in the Multiannual Financial Framework of the European Union.

IAM4EU: Innovative Materials for EU (Pending)

The partnership covers critical challenges of innovative advanced materials, from the very early stages of design to a true circular based economy and the full materials innovation cycle.

Virtual Worlds (Pending)

The partnership will shape the next frontier of virtual worlds, including metaverses, reflecting the Digital Decade 2030 vision based on common European values, principles and strategic interests: virtual worlds and metaverses that are open, interoperable, trustful, secure, human-centric, preserving privacy, respecting our legislation, inclusive, and offering opportunities to everyone.

Textiles of the Future (Pending)

It will aim to support the textile sector, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), in implementing a comprehensive research and innovation program.
