The call for Research and Innovation actions (objective IOT-03-2017) for the IoT Focus Area has been launched, proposals can now be submitted. The total budget for this call is 37 Million EUR, submission deadline for proposals is 25 April 2017.

The objective of the call are :

• Architectures, concepts, methods and tools for open IoT platforms integrating evolving sensing, actuating, energy harvesting, networking and interface technologies. Platforms should provide connectivity and intelligence, actuation and control features, linkage to modular and ad-hoc cloud services, Data analytics and open APIs as well as semantic interoperability across use cases and conflict resolution. Platforms should be compatible with existing international developments addressing object identity management, discovery services, virtualisation of objects, devices and infrastructures and trusted IoT approaches.
• IoT security and privacy - advanced concepts for end-to-end security in highly distributed, heterogeneous and dynamic IoT environments. Approaches must be holistic and include identification and authentication, data protection and prevention against cyber-attacks at the device and system levels.

Proposals should address above mentioned topics, verification and testing, and identify the added value of the proposed approach specific to IoT in comparison to generic solutions. They are expected to include two or more usage scenarios to demonstrate the practicality of the approach.

Check the H2020 Cross-cutting issues part of the Work Programme for further details about the call as well as the H2020 Participant Portal for information about submission of proposals.
