WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?

The main objective of the SYNAPSE Open Call is to showcase the clear integration paths of SYNAPSE across the EU Digital Infrastructures, validating the relevance and transferability of the SYNAPSE Platform in additional organisations. In that context, around €740,000 are planned to be used for new beneficiaries who will join the consortium, including:

  • An organisation operating a digital infrastructure, which will serve as end-user and provide a new pilot for the SYNAPSE project (Open Call Beneficiary Type A).
  • Two SME partners covering the cybersecurity supply-side, which will provide innovative technological solutions and services to the SYNAPSE project (Open Call Beneficiary Type B).

TO DO WHAT?

  • The selected end-user is expected to:
    • Identify precise use case, along with validation scenarios, relevant requirements and KPIs.
    • Provide operational pilot environment for SYNAPSE integration.
    • Deliver SYNAPSE-integrated pilot environment for demonstration.
    • Contribute to SYNAPSE’s demonstration and validation.
  • The two selected cybersecurity supply-side SMEs are expected to:
    • Identify the precise technologies to be delivered, their specifications and the associated KPIs.
    • Integrate their components into the SYNAPSE architecture.
    • Develop, deliver and integrate components into the SYNAPSE platform and the Pilot testbed.
    • Contribute to SYNAPSE’s domain demonstration, including:
      • Integration of the technologies into all Pilot storylines.
      • Integration of the chosen components into the Pilot deployments of the SYNAPSE platform.
      • Demonstration of the integration of selected components on at least two of the SYNAPSE pilots, which will be jointly agreed between SYNAPSE and the selected candidates.
      • Validation of relevant SYNAPSE and OC-specific KPIs.
