EC Report on Technology Readiness Levels (TRL) to analyse Technology Progression in Horizon Europe
The European Commission has published a new report on Technology Readiness Levels (TRLs) in Horizon Europe. According to the study, while most projects begin as basic research and ideas (TRL 1-3), almost half reach the 'demonstration' stage (TRL 6-8) by the end. Regarding European Partnerships, the study contains data on Joint Undertakings and co-programmed European Partnerships.
Most projects in Joint Undertaking are concentrated in the range of TRL4-TRL6, representing 68% of all EU contributions in the JUs. 29% is allocated to projects at TRL7 and above. In co-programmed European Partnerships, TRL5-TRL7 represent 86% of all funding, with TRL8 and TRL9 combined accounting for 10%. The report provides no data on co-funded European Partnerships.
