The European Union project AIDA-2020 (Advanced European Infrastructure for Detectors and Accelerators), in which CERN is a partner, has launched a proof-of-concept fund for breakthrough projects in the field of detector development and testing.
The fund will provide up to €200k in total to support innovative projects with a focus on industry-orientated applications and those beyond high-energy physics. Up to four projects will be funded based on a competitive selection process, and the deadline is 20 October 2016. More information can be found at aida2020.web.cern.ch/content/poc.
