The project ‘Centre of Excellence for Future Smart Multisensors’ was initially submitted under Horizon Europe under the ‘ERA Chairs’ sub-programme project competition HORIZON-WIDERA-2023-TALENTS-01. Although the project was highly valued and exceeded the quality threshold, it was not awarded funding due to the limited budget. Therefore, the project is resubmitted for funding under the Latvian Smart Specialisation Strategy (RIS3), providing support to scientific projects moving towards excellence. The project promotes international cooperation in research and promotes the development of innovations in Latvia.The main activities of the project include the establishment of a centre of excellence, focusing on material sciences, sensor technologies and energy acquisition. During the project research will be carried out, innovative solutions for smart materials and sensor systems will be developed, interdisciplinary cooperation will be promoted and research infrastructure will be developed. The project also includes educational activities such as lectures, seminars and doctoral management, as well as cooperation with industry partners to promote the commercialisation of scientific results.The planned results include the establishment of a centre of excellence, the development of high-level scientific publications, the development of innovations in materials science and sensor technologies, as well as the reinforcement of international cooperation. The results of the project are expected to improve Latvia's research potential and help achieve the objectives of the Smart Specialisation Strategy.The total cost of the project is EUR 2 496 187.50, of which 85% (EUR 2 121 759.37) will be financed by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and 15% (EUR 374 428.13) will be covered by the State budget.The expected project implementation period: from the date of conclusion of the project implementation agreement in January 2025 until 30 September 2029.
