is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is ATTRACT?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Why is there no European Google or Amazon? Why have some of Europe\u2019s hottest start-ups, such as Sweden\u2019s Spotify, moved to Silicon Valley? It is not for lack of great technology or breakthrough science. It is because the mechanism for scaling up promising ventures to global markets is simply not working.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many technologies leading to breakthrough innovations with a big impact on people\u2019s lives stem from fundamental research. ATTRACT is a pioneering initiative bringing together Europe\u2019s fundamental research and industrial communities to lead the next generation of detection and imaging technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the first time, a consortium of big research organisations \u2013 that build and operate telescopes, particle accelerators and other capital-intensive scientific instruments \u2013 will be explicitly leveraged to capture value and create jobs and growth. For this, ATTRACT will enlist large companies, experienced venture capitalists, and individual investors alike. The aim is to create an entirely new, European model of Open Innovation that can become an engine for jobs and prosperity for all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Funded by the European Union\u2019s Horizon 2020 programme, the project aims to help revamp Europe\u2019s economy and improve people\u2019s lives by creating products, services, companies and jobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns

\u2013 play a key role as enablers for all major technology areas. <\/strong>Most future scientific advances, technical applications, commercially worthwhile products and businesses targeting emerging societal challenges rely on these technologies in one way or another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Can new networks of sensors be installed in big farms to make agriculture more productive and less energy-intensive? Can smarter use of monitoring and Big Data analysis make factories work better, cheaper and greener? Can we use sensors to help the visually impaired navigate the world more easily? Can we develop better forms of online learning? Can we pioneer ways to monitor our changing climate more accurately and cost-effectively and develop strategies to mitigate the damage?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Answering these questions requires an open innovation mindset so that breakthrough innovation concepts can be rapidly identified, assessed and industrially scaled by multiple experts throughout the innovation value chain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To achieve this, ATTRACT will couple national and European Research Infrastructures, universities and research organisations with actors who can extract societally relevant and commercially interesting innovations from them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-silver-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-silver-background-color has-background is-style-wide hr-spacer\"\/>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<section id=\"open-science-open-innovation\" class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-content-justification-center is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">From Open Science to Open Innovation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"635\" height=\"792\" src=\"https:\/\/attract-eu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/ATTRACT_about_graph2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-22614\" srcset=\"https:\/\/attract-eu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/ATTRACT_about_graph2.png 635w, https:\/\/attract-eu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/ATTRACT_about_graph2-241x300.png 241w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 635px) 100vw, 635px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Traditional incremental innovations may bring about positive impacts on societal challenges, but getting ideas and hunches realised is a lengthy process. The ATTRACT methodology aims to springboard science towards actors with vision for innovation potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In contrast to incremental innovation, which generates reactive or adaptive responses to a problem, <strong>breakthrough innovation is driven by a desire to anticipate emerging or future needs<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These innovations trigger transformations in the way we think about societally challenging issues or identify s<strong>olutions that will have real impact on people\u2019s lives<\/strong> \u2013 for example smaller, portable scanners for patient treatment outside of the hospital, or replacing airplane windows with virtual images which reduces fuel consumption and increases safety of the aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the process of developing new science into technologies that enable <strong>breakthrough innovation<\/strong> often happens by serendipity. ATTRACT aims to create and deploy mechanisms and frameworks for systematically achieving such transformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By coupling research and innovation to a pipeline of <strong>entrepreneurial talent and public and private funding opportunities<\/strong>, ATTRACT seeks to boost Europe\u2019s Horizon 2020 Programme. The initiative will promote world-class open science with a view to delivering innovative, future-driven solutions capable of enhancing economic and inclusive growth for a competitive Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button download-button is-style-outline is-style-outline--2\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/attract-eu.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Work-Plan-and-Deliverables_ATTRACT.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Project Work Plan and deliverables<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-silver-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-silver-background-color has-background is-style-wide hr-spacer\"\/>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<section id=\"the-project-ecosystem\" class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-content-justification-center is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The project ecosystem<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"wp-block-group alignfull explore-options no-video hidden has-body-alt-color has-text-color is-layout-flow wp-container-core-group-is-layout-85c5f863 wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\" id=\"explore-options-hidden\" style=\"border-radius:24px;margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--70)\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns alignwide explore-options no-video is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-7a1c9da1 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--80)\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-container-core-column-is-layout-f5bb311e wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group big-button p1-hover has-quantum-background-color has-background ek-linked-block is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-cf7eeba0 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\" style=\"border-width:2px;border-radius:24px;padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40)\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-lemmony-companion-icon lemmony-animation\" style=\"font-size:clamp(27.894px, 1.743rem + ((1vw -

And the Socioeconomic Studies call, in which projects will provide quantitative and qualitative data and insights about the ATTRACT initiative and its value for Europe. This will forecast the potential benefits of scaling up this initiative and its associated benefit for Europeans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And in 2023, another Open Call will be launched through <strong>ATTRACT phase 1.b<\/strong> that aims to fund around 30 proposals from consortia which are expected to challenge the existing paradigm for Earth Monitoring which is still largely based on networks of sparse measurement stations and\/or in situ human-operated measurement systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-silver-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-silver-background-color has-background is-style-wide hr-spacer\"\/>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Page summary What is ATTRACT?
