Call for proposals: SMEs focusing on open data (deadline 31.8)

Europe is supporting the next generation of digital businesses. The Open Data Incubator for Europe (ODINE) is part of that support – enabling European citizens to build sustainable businesses using open data.

The  following ODINE call targets Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) building a business around open data.

The funding is intended for single entities, rather than consortia of multiple entities.

Applications must have a clear focus on open data innovation.

Funds can be used in accordance to the Horizon 2020 financial guidelines. They can be spent on salaries, equipment, consumables, travels, subcontracting to other parties (e.g., for marketing or legal support), and indirect expenditure (office space, office infrastructure etc., which are calculated as 25% of the total direct costs).

The applicant must be registered with the European Commission as an SME at the time of submission.

Applications are made online and will consist of a short proposal presenting the idea and the budget required for its realization, as well as administrative information.

Next deadline for applications is 31/8/2016.
