The Digital Decade policy programme sets up a monitoring and collaboration mechanism based on common objectives and targets for 2030, in particular on digital infrastructure, digital skills, digitalisation of public services and digitalisation of businesses. The Commission must review the programme by 30 June 2026 and may propose amendments. It will assess whether the programme and its implementation require changes in the light of technical, economic or societal developments and the evolution of EU priorities. To gather input for this review, the Commission is currently collecting feedback from stakeholders. Contributing to the survey is possible until 23 December 2025 via this link.
2025-12-11 MSCA Research Infrastructures Health Culture and society SecurityOn 11 December 2025, the European Commission has adopted the Horizon Europe Main Work Programme 2026-2027 and has published it on the EU Funding & Tenders Portal.

Founded in 1999, Luciad serves clients in Europe, Asia and the Americas. Though it recently was acquired by Hexagon Geospatial, they kept an agile SME mindset. Thousands of end users work directly with Luciad’s geospatial applications, and major systems integrators (think Airbus Defense and Space, Lufthansa Systems, NATO, Thales…) incorporate its software in their own products.
NCP Flanders went to Leuven to interview Frederic Houbie, the Research Projects Manager at Luciad, about how he sees Horizon 2020. Luciad is a partner in the MARISA project, which is a collaborative RIA project submitted to an ICT call topic.
