Research in technologies for European non-dependence and competitiveness has been undertaken within the frame of the EC-ESA-EDA joint initiative on Critical Technologies for European non-Dependence, launched in 2008.

Activities to be proposed in this call will address technologies identified on the list of Urgent Actions as part of the Joint EC-ESA-EDA task force on Critical Technologies (see Excerpt from Critical Space Technologies for European Strategic Non-Dependence – List of Urgent Actions for 2012/2013" – June 2012, and the update for the 2014 call in http://ec.europa.eu/enterprise/policies/space/research focusing on those areas that have not so far benefitted from prior Framework Programme funding and representing the highest potential for being addressed through the co-funding instruments available in Horizon 2020. A number of priority technologies have been identified for H2020 support from which proposers can choose:

U1 - Space qualification of low shock non-explosive actuators

U2 - Advanced thermal control systems

U5 - Alternative to Hydrazine in Europe

U11 - Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICS) for Mixed Signal Processing

U17 - High density (up to 1000 pins and beyond) assemblies on PCB
