XR2Industry 3rd Open Call for use cases
Strives to foster European sovereignty in Extended Reality (XR) by supporting the development and testing of human-centric XR solutions for industrial use, enhancing technology structuration, standardisation, and data privacy.
XR2Industry 3rd Open Call for Use Cases aims to advance the European technological ecosystem in the Extended Reality (XR) domain by supporting innovative projects that utilise the XR2Industry platform. This initiative is part of an EU-funded project, coordinated by the Universitat Politècnica de València, that seeks to enhance European sovereignty in XR technologies.
Type of projects to be funded: The call targets consortia consisting of a research team and an end-user, focusing on testing the XR platform from an end-user perspective. The use cases should address one of the outlined challenges, integrating XR technologies into industrial settings.
Sectors / domain: Industrial ecosystems linked to XR technologies.
Individual or consortium: Only consortium applications are eligible, requiring one research organisation or academic sector entity, and one end-user.
Specific eligibility requirements: Eligible entities must be legally registered in EU Member States or Horizon Europe Associated Countries. Entities under EU restrictive measures or with conflicts of interest with XR2Industry partners are ineligible.
A consortium of 2 organisations is required, with each partner type being:
- Research team: Research Organisation or the Academia Research Groups specialised in human-centric assessment of XR technologies.
- An End user: any type of legal entity as end-user for the platform. End-user associations are also eligible as long as the end-user actually plans to perform testing in industrial settings within the foreseen activities
Solutions submitted to the XR2Industry project must have a Technology Readiness Level (TRL) of 7 or 8 at the time of application.
Specific topics or challenges: Applicants must choose one of the specific challenges listed under section 3.2 in the Guidelines for Applicants (go there for the details), including the following:
- Challenge 1: Mixed-Reality Training for Industry -> Development of a Mixed-Reality application that accelerates hands-on industrial training.
- Challenge 2: MR Guidance for Assembly & Maintenance -> Real-time MR workflow support that reduces errors and task duration.
- Challenge 3: MR Safety Awareness & Hazard Training -> An MR tool that reinforces safe behaviour and visualises workplace hazards.
- Challenge 4: MR Workflow in Regulated (Pharma/Bio) Environments -> Step-controlled MR assistant that helps operators follow SOPs exactly
Projects duration: The support programme lasts up to 12 months, divided into three stages: Individual Mentoring Plan (2 months), Beta Testing (5 months), and Analysis (5 months).
Budget, funding rates and payment conditions:
Funding rate: 100% of the eligible costs
Budget conditions / limitations: Each selected consortium can receive up to €233,900 as a fixed lump sum
Payments: are tied to the achievement of predefined milestones and deliverables in the three stages: Stage 1: up to 32,700€; Stage 2: up to 107,600€; Stage 3: up to 93,600€.
Key dates: Opens on 10 June 2025 and closes on 12 August 2025.
