eXtended Reality Learning - Engage and Interact (IA)

The eXtended Reality Learning program is designed to fund a diverse range of entities and individuals across Europe and associated countries, with a primary focus on advancing digital and industrial technologies. The program aims to support projects that contribute to a human-centred and ethical development of these technologies, fostering a more resilient, inclusive, and democratic European society. It particularly targets innovative solutions for learning and education through Extended Reality (XR).

The eXtended Reality Learning program supports projects focused on developing and implementing XR technologies for educational purposes across various sectors. The funding targets innovation actions, which involve a mix of research and market validation, ensuring practical application and uptake of the developed solutions. The focus is on mature projects that are close to market readiness, with specific technical readiness levels defined.

The eXtended Reality Learning program provides financial support primarily in the form of grants, with a significant portion dedicated to supporting third parties. While overall budget information for the call is available, specific funding limits apply to individual third-party projects. The duration for these smaller projects is clearly defined, emphasizing focused, short-term development leading to market readiness.

To ensure compliance and successful project implementation, the eXtended Reality Learning program outlines several conditions and requirements. These include general admissibility and eligibility criteria, specific rules for application and intellectual property, and mandates for collaboration and responsible research. Adherence to open standards for technology development is also a key provision.

The application process for the eXtended Reality Learning program follows a structured, single-stage submission and evaluation procedure, with clear guidelines provided through official EU documents. Applicants are guided on how to submit proposals, and the criteria for evaluating these submissions are transparently outlined.

The eXtended Reality Learning program is firmly rooted in a comprehensive legal framework established by the European Union. Its operations are governed by foundational regulations and specific work programmes, ensuring transparency, accountability, and alignment with broader EU objectives.
