APPOLO concept

focuses on emerging innovative laser technologies and processes, which need

to be customised, tested and validated :

Customized – service of application labs for trials;

Tested – experiments at variable conditions;

Validated – reliability and process quality assessment in the close-to-manufacturing

environment.

exploits the unique combination of distributed knowledge in

academic application labs,

equipment producers,

system integrators and

end-users

to enable the development of innovative processes, products and machineries for

industrial laser material processing applications.

have established and coordinate the Hub of laser application laboratories to

provide the high-quality integrated services.

APPOLO consortium is looking for new assessment experiments with new equipment for laser-based

manufacturing in the technologies going to large markets with global end-users & integrators.

CALL FOR ASSESSMENT EXPERIMENTS IN LASER-BASED MANUFACTURING

1.2 MEur of the EC funding is available for new partners within the APPOLO Open call

The consortium expect to select approximate 6 proposals for new assessment experiments with a

budget limit of 200 000 Euro per proposal for the new partners.

Each proposal must include at least two new partners: equipment supplier (preferable SME) and end-

user for the laser technology, where the equipment of the supplier can be applied.

The proposal consortium must include at least one of the laser application laboratory from existing

APPOLO consortium (member of APPOLO HUB) to provide the equipment/technology assessment

service.

Additional partners – equipment suppliers and end-users - selected by Competitive call will require

assessment service from the existing consortium partners. Therefore, indicatively 20% of the budget in

addition will be distributed to the existing partners that will provide the service depending on the selected

proposals due to their expertise and infrastructure for performing the new assessment projects. Budget

for existing APPOLO partners can be up to 20% of that for the new partners (40 000 Euro per

experiment).

Evaluation of the proposals will be performed by independent experts.

The selected partners will assess the grant agreement with EC and APPOLO consortium agreement.

Purpose of the Call

No limitation for partners between countries within EU and related to FP7 programme

Proposal should include at least two new partners, which need service from the existing APPOLO HUB

(and consortium) partners:

equipment supplier, preferable SME;

end-user;

existing partner from APPOLO HUB application laboratories – located at NL, CH, LT, FI, DE, ES

New equipment to be assessed should be one for laser based manufacturing, including but not

limited to: lasers, positioning, beam shaping, guiding and scanning, on-line monitoring and

control;

The entity must be registered at EU and have its PIC number before the proposal submission.

The assessment experiments in the proposal should rely on existing expertise and infrastructure within

APPOLO consortium, to be able to perform assessment of the new equipment in close to industrial

conditions;

Evaluation by independent experts selected according to EC rules
