Strategic Analysis

The JARVIS OC2: External Pilots Open Call is part of the broader JARVIS European research project, funded under the Horizon Europe Programme. This call aims to invest a total of €650,000 to support five third-party projects, each receiving up to €130,000. Projects are expected to run for a ten-month period, focusing on the development and validation of innovative Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) solutions by integrating JARVIS technologies into new industrial contexts.

The call targets micro-consortia composed of 2 to 3 organisations, mandatorily including a technology provider (SME/startup) and a use case provider, with an optional research and technology organisation (RTO) or a second technology provider. The primary objective is to demonstrate the applicability of JARVIS modules in new operational contexts, stimulate industry engagement in HRI validation, expand the testing base, and support market-oriented innovation, with solutions expected to reach TRL7. The submission period is from 1st April 2026 at 00:00 CET to 10th July 2026 at 17:00 CET.
