Jan-Erik Källhammer, Chair of the Photonics21 Mobility working group, informs the lighting community of an opportunity for defining a project call with EU funding under EU’s Horizon Europe framework. The Photonics21 partnership budget has tentatively reserved €15m EU funding for such a project. A suggested topic could be energy savings of ADAS and advanced lighting. One means of achieving energy savings could be through collaboration among road users.
There is a restriction in the call definition, requiring a joint call with other partnerships. The CCAM partnership—Cooperative, Connected and Automated Mobility—could be a suitable partner for such a joint call. Interested corporations or research entities should contact their respective national and industry partners within CCAM to promote such a call proposal.
Support from Photonics21, CCAM, and the EU lighting industry should have a decisive influence when EU will finalize the project call topics. That could be in the 2025-’27 timeframe.
Further information can be had by emailing Jan-Erik Källhammer.
