ATTRACT Phase 2: Breakthrough Innovation programme for a pan-European Detection and Imaging Ecoosystem ATTRACT brings together Europe’s fundamental research institutions and industrial communities to lead the next generation of detection and imaging technologies. During Phase-1, 170 breakthrough ideas received funding and their results were presented at the ATTRACT Conference, held virtually, but based in Brussels. Building up on the success of the previous stage, ATTRACT Phase-2 will fund the most promising technology concepts for scientific, industrial and societal applications, aiming to raise their Technology Readiness Level towards the market. Phase-2 will also scale up its support to young innovators, offering 400 of them (rather than the 100 of Phase-1 ) the opportunity to prototype their solutions based on the technology of ATTRACT-funded projects; deliver a first-of-its-kind socio-economic study of an innovation ecosystem in the making; and undertake serious efforts to address public and private stakeholders in exploring potential models to streamline innovation funding. |
