ABOUTTHE CORTEX2 PROJECT
CORTEX2 is developing a highly innovative and digital XR teleconference platform specifically geared to facilitate work and social activities involving physical interaction with the environment and remote objects — from remote assistance or training to working in collaborative spaces. The project objective is to democratise the integration of XR hardware and software into daily industrial processes for all types of operators, enabling next-generation tele-cooperation mechanisms that will accelerate the future of work.

In the 2nd Open Call, CORTEX² will invest a total of €1.000.000, which will be aimed at recruiting XR innovators, from companies (tech startups/SMEs) to research institutions (universities, NGOs, foundations, associations) to co-develop CORTEX² platform.
The goal of Open Call 2 is to deliver an inclusive XR teleconference platform while involving organisations in the ‘Lab-To-Market’ stage that will bring new modules and features, enhancing the functionalities and opportunities CORTEX² can provide.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
Please note that this expression of interest to participate in the CORTEX2 Open Call evaluation as an external expert is NOT binding and does NOT constitute any commitment to the CORTEX2 project.
The selection of the experts to support CORTEX2 in the evaluation of the Open Call will be taken at a later stage, since it depends on the number of received proposals, their origin, the domain that they target as well as the origin of the potential evaluators, their affiliations, their expertise and the balance between various criteria (e.g. gender, background, affiliation type, age, expertise etc.). Furthermore, we are obliged to frequently change experts that support the evaluations of proposals.
