Call for proposals
Horizon 2020 – Industrial Leadership – “EU-Korea Joint Call” – H2020-EUK-2018
Objective and description
The international dimension of ICT activities is reinforced through a joint call with South Korea on a set of specific topics.
The
call “EU-Korea Joint Call” (Call identifier: H2020-EUK-2018) under the
Horizon 2020 Programme within the pillar Industrial Leadership –
Information and Communication Technologies Work Programme 2018-2020,
refers to the following topics:
· EUK-01-2018: Cloud, IoT and AI technologies
(RIA Research and Innovation action)
The
main focus of the joint research is to develop innovative solutions
integrating AI with Cloud and IoT technologies to support future AI
applications in an efficient way.
A number of R&D areas need to be considered so as to deliver these advanced cloud platforms with IoT for AI (i.e.,
innovative cloud computing models to deliver cross-border future AI
applications; new data management models built on AI-based optimal
resource allocation; new approaches for cloud resources orchestration
for AI data processing; new approaches to handle a dynamic dataset in
the federated clouds for AI functions; Cloud and IoT combined platforms
managing intelligence from IoT objects and surroundings and supporting
data-intensive applications; efficient navigation, device control and
enhanced decision-making technologies using intelligence, etc.).
The
technologies developed should be validated through concrete
cross-border AI applications in business (cross-border enterprise
settings) and/or societal contexts (e.g. autonomous vehicles in a
complex urban area, smart living environments, personal health systems,
etc.).
· EUK-02-2018: 5G
(RIA Research and Innovation action)
The
focus should be on large-scale demonstrations and trials towards 5G
applications, this to have a strong focus on the harmonization for 5G
standards and spectrum.
The proposals should address one of the two areas (a or b):
a) Focus on mmwave and super broadband services
b) Focus on interoperability and integration of 5G vertical testbeds on heterogeneous environments
