The funding is designed for researchers and start-ups that are looking to advance their original ideas and foster partnerships. EIT Food will provide up to €100,000 in grant funding, covering 100% of the project costs for successful applications. EIT Food will then establish a service agreement with your corporate client, invoicing them for 60% of the project costs (up to €60,000). The cut-off date is at each last day of the month with the final deadline on the 30th of November. You can find all details on this website.
2025-08-18 Health MissionsThe European Rare Diseases Research Alliance (ERDERA) has launched the 'Networking Support Scheme (NSS)', a constantly open call to fund transnational networking events to facilitate collaboration and knowledge exchanges among clinicians, researchers (including early-career researchers), research managers, and patient advocacy organisations.Funding of up to €30,000 is available for each networking event, which can be conducted in-person or in a hybrid format. To apply, events must involve participants from at least three different eligible countries, with at least one applicant from an underrepresented country.Applications can be submitted at any time but will be reviewed in six-monthly collection rounds. The current submission round has as deadline 7 October 2025 at 2 pm (CET).For more detailed information on eligibility, the application process and to submit your application, consult the dediceted ERDERA webpage.

2025-08-13 Security Digital, Industry & Space CybersecurityThe NIS Cooperation Group has launched a survey to collect feedback aimed at guiding the future steps towards implementing quantum-safe cryptography in Europe. This initiative follows the release of the "Coordinated Implementation Roadmap for the Transition to Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC)". Quantum computing poses significant challenges to data security, and the European Commission aims to collaborate with stakeholders to address these challenges. The public consultation aims to gather input from providers of critical infrastructures, industry stakeholders, and academia. Participants are encouraged to review the existing roadmap and submit concrete proposals, especially those addressing specific sector challenges. Suggestions may include mentioning open-source tools that can assist in this transition. Feedback will be accepted until 29 September 2025 (18:00 CEST). Contributions will be reviewed and promising proposals may be invited to provide further details and input for the updated roadmap. For more information and the link to the survey, please visit the dedidated website. Background: The Network and Information Systems Cooperation Group (NIS Cooperation Group) was established by the NIS Directive to ensure cooperation and information exchange among Member States, the European Commission and the EU Agency for cybersecurity (ENISA). Among the key outputs of the NIS Cooperation Group, there are non-binding guidelines to the EU Members States to allow effective and coherent implementation of the NIS Directive across the EU and to address wider cybersecurity policy issues.
2025-08-07 Enhancing EU R&I Horizon EuropeThe Commission launched the "Call for Evidence" to improve the general environment for generating innovation, reducing fragmentation and boosting the EU’s competitiveness. This initiative aims to strengthen R&D investment and bring it up to the 3% GDP target. It will focus research support more on strategic priorities, strengthen alignment between the EU and Member States’ funding priorities, and promote the free movement of knowledge and talent across Europe. The Call for Evidence (describing the problem, the need of this action, the policy options, ..) is the first step of the consultation process. The next step entails a public stakeholder consultation on questions regarding the ERA Act specific intervention areas, that will follow this call for evidence.

2025-08-07 Agro-Food, EnvironmentWater4All, a European co-funded partnership, is a funding programme for scientific research in freshwater. It aims to tackle water challenges to face climate change, help to achieve the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals and boost the EU’s competitiveness and growth. The network has pre-announced a new call for research proposals focusing on ‘Water and Health’. The call is planned to officially open on 12 September 2025. Research and innovation proposals submitted under the Water4All 2025 Joint Transnational Call are required to address at least one of the following topics: Topic 1: Waterborne contaminants & health risks: occurrence, behaviour, interactions and vulnerability; Topic 2: Innovative tools and technologies for Water quality and exposure monitoring; Topic 3: Water treatment and exposure mitigation; Topic 4: Governance, socio-economic innovation, and policy integration for water and health. Applications will be submitted by the coordinator. Each consortium participant will be funded by the Funding Partner Organisation from their country/region participating in the 2025 Joint Transnational Call. Participants are therefore subject to eligibility criteria of national/regional funding organisations. Each consortium must involve at least a minimum of three (3) eligible partners that request funding from participating Funding Partner Organisations (FPOs) from three different countries. at least two independent legal entities from two different EU Member States or Horizon Europe Associated Countries as recipients of the financial support. a maximum of seven (7) partners (including 1 self- funded partner). In case needed, this partner search tool can help you find suitable partners. Funding will come from various national and regional organizations, including the FWO for Flanders (and the FNRS for the French speaking Belgian community). Details about eligibility, evaluation criteria, and a full description of the themes will be published when the call officially launches. For more information, visit the Water4All pre-proposal webpage and keep an eye on updates from NCP Flanders and FWO for further support. The FWO can be contacted directly at europe@fwo.be.

The ROOT project obtained funding under Horizon 2020 topic ‘EGNSS applications fostering societal resilience and protecting the environment’. The project, which ran from November 2020 to July 2022, aimed to demonstrate the benefit of Galileo OSNMA signal to increase the robustness of critical telecom infrastructures.
The Flanders-based company Septentrio contributed substantially to completing this objective together with the other ROOT partners. The results of the project partially close a gap in the security of telecommunication networks dependent on satellite-derived time, with indirect benefits in curbing illegal attempts to disrupt network services.
