ProgrammesThis online matchmaking event is designed for potential European Defence Fund applicants who want to find partners and prepare for the 2026 EDF calls. It includes a morning webinar on do’s and don’ts in EDF 2026, followed by bilateral matchmaking meetings. Participants can also use the event to speak with National Focal Points about project scope, funding rates, partner suitability and costs.
Participants can create a new profile or reuse one from earlier editions. After registration, they get access to a catalogue of potential partners and can send and receive meeting requests for discussions taking place during the event.
The morning webinar is scheduled as a preparatory session on practical points for EDF 2026 proposals. The matchmaking sessions are intended to help potential applicants build consortia and discuss proposal-related questions with relevant contacts, including NFPs.

Funded under Horizon Europe (HORIZON-INFRA-2022-TECH-01) and running from 2023 to 2026, the ANERIS project aims to tackle the rapid loss of ocean biodiversity. The project’s main objective is to develop, test and implement the next generation of scientific instrumentation tools and methods for sensing and monitoring marine-life. Another key concept of the project is the introduction of the concept of Operational Marine Biology (OMB) as a biodiversity information system. The project consortium consists of 25 partners from 13 countries. Read more about the project and the contribution of Flemish partner VLIZ in this testimonial.
