Gov/en/Portal:R&D/Open-Calls:Under Study

💡 In simple words: These are ideas for future Open Calls. They are not launched yet, but we are thinking about them.

🎯 In 20 seconds (scientific summary): This page lists the draft Open Calls of Wave 2, currently under study: they have not been launched and their parameters, deadlines and rewards are still being discussed. Wave 2 is organised in two parts, WikiDeal global and specific marketplaces, and its results are part of the expected Prototype 1 deliverables. The marketplace list is intended to grow over time, with most future calls organised directly by User Groups after a light validation.

💬 Submit a proposal: open to all. No email needed: just log in, then post your ideas and links in the Discussion tab of this page. You can then raise a Request for Comments (RFC) to draw attention to your proposal and get community comments.

Calls Under Study (Wave 2)

Wave 2: still under discussion

Wave 2 is still under discussion. These calls are drafts under construction (nice to have, not yet launched); they are intended to be launched at a later stage, and the list itself is still being discussed. Wave 2 is also organised in two parts: WikiDeal global and specific marketplaces. The results of the wave 2 calls are notably part of the expected Prototype 1 deliverables.

Wave 2, specific marketplaces

The calls below concern a specific marketplace, not the WikiDeal platform as a whole. These calls are still ideas under construction.

This part is intended to grow far beyond this first list. Over time, there could be hundreds, even thousands of marketplace calls, and the majority are intended to be organised directly by User Groups themselves. Calls launched by User Groups would only go through a light validation, whose sole purpose is to display them in this list of calls: User Groups keep their independence to launch their own calls whenever they look for ideas and need contributions.
