Preparation of an application for a Eurogrant planned for implementation under the Horizon Europe Programme, EIC Pre-Accelerator – Widening call

alpha0 sp. z o. o. is implementing a project co-financed by the European Funds entitled: “Preparation of an application for a Eurogrant planned for implementation under the Horizon Europe Programme, EIC Pre-Accelerator – Widening call”.

What is the objective of the project?

The objective of the project is to prepare the application documentation for the Eurogrant “Horizon-Widera-2025-02-access-01 EIC Pre-Accelerator – Widening”.

What is the scope of the project?

As part of the Eurogrant preparation, the project includes:

• preparation of the Eurogrant application documentation in cooperation with an expert specialising in preparing applications for EU funding,
• possible revision of the application and translations in accordance with the requirements of the European Commission,
• preparation of specialist analyses, including:
  • a patent clearance / Freedom to Operate (FTO) analysis confirming the absence of legal barriers to the implementation of the planned solution,
  • preparation of a Data Management Plan (DMP), taking into account the security of psychological data processing, ethical standards and compliance with the GDPR.

What will be the result of the project?

The result of the project will be a complete Eurogrant application, ready for submission, meeting the formal and substantive requirements of the European Commission (Scientific Excellence, Impact, Quality of Implementation).

What is the nature and scope of the planned Eurogrant?

The planned Eurogrant concerns research and development activities from completed TRL 4, i.e. a laboratory-verified concept of the key components of the AgentShield Runtime system, to at least TRL 5, i.e. validation of an integrated prototype in an environment close to real conditions, or up to TRL 6, i.e. demonstration of a system prototype in an operationally relevant environment. The aim is to develop an offline-first security layer for AI agents operating locally on edge/on-prem infrastructure, covering isolated automation execution, tool access control, enforcement of security policies, auditability of actions, resistance to prompt injection and the possibility of secure rollback.

Submission of the application under the EIC Pre-Accelerator call will enable the company to apply for funding for a project aimed at developing a local, auditable and abuse-resistant execution layer for AI agents intended for edge/on-prem environments.
