Feasibility Check (Extended): 19 May-27 of June, 2025
Final Submission Deadline: 31 July, 2025
Budget: The budget available for grants is €1,350,000. Therefore, a minimum of five projects will be funded. The remaining budget will be allocated to projects funded under Open Call 2.
Proposals should target to:
i) demonstrate the reusability of the ENVELOPE developed features by third party stakeholders; OC beneficiaries have to make use of at least 1 ENVELOPE API and/or ENVELOPE Enabler in order to validate the platform’s functionality, and/or
ii) extend the provided infrastructure for experimentation as a service with additional functionalities, possibly tailored to the needs of other verticals; the extension should target the design, development, integration and validation of a new (ENVELOPE) Enabler/API.
Information on the ENVELOPE APIs and Enablers is provided in the documents available here. The case study where these APIs/Enablers will be applied can either be related to the automotive sector or on another vertical domain.
The Feasibility Check is mandatory for all proposers. Only proposals that have submitted their Feasibility Check applications before 27/06/2025 (deadline extended) and received positive feedback are allowed to submit their final applications.
The open call proposers must contact the ENVELOPE consortium to communicate their intentions and verify the feasibility of their proposals intended for implementation within the project’s scope. This step allows them to receive initial feedback on the planned activities outlined in the proposal. To perform the feasibility check, proposers must send a description of the planned experiment to helpdesk@lists.envelope-project.eu, using the template provided below. Please send the Word document (not PDF) since the evaluators will complete the last sections. Include the short name of the proposal in the email subject line or the first line of the email text.
Proposals submitted without passing the feasibility check will be automatically rejected.
The deadline for the feasibility check has been extended until 27/06/2025.
