These are the cascade funding opportunities that this webinar will cover:

To fuel the growth trajectory of digital solutions for Rural-Urban synergies and boost the overall project impact, RURBANIVE will launch a single Open Call (OC) providing Financial Support to Third Parties (FSTP) as a mechanism to increase the number of Rural-Urban Enablers.

Deadline: 31/03/2025

Funding per project: €100k

The PoliRural Mobilise Call funds projects leveraging AI to enhance rural-urban interactions through hackathons, ideathons, and data-driven solutions.

The main objective of the Mobilise call is to leverage artificial intelligence (AI) for community-driven innovation focused on enhancing rural-urban interactions. Projects funded under this call are expected to organise local/regional hackathons/datahons/ideathons and through this promote PoliRuralPlus and other solutions and support their validation, extension and/or implementation in the PoliRuralPlus pilot regions.

Deadline: 31/03/2025

Funding per project: €10k

Open Innovation for Agriculture Drone Technology Advancement.

Τhe strategic objective of SPADE is to develop an Intelligent Ecosystem to address the multiple purposes concept in the light of deploying UAVs to promote sustainable digital services for the benefit of a large scope of various end users in the sectors of agriculture, forestry, and livestock.

The main objective of the call, is to identify and finance six of the most ambitious and promising projects that will enhance the capabilities of drone technology and innovation use within the context of SPADE.

Deadline: 26/05/2025

Funding per project: €60k or €45k

Miricle - Mine Risk Clearance for Europe

The Miricle project, ‘Mine Risk Clearance for Europe’, obtained funding under the European Defence Industrial Development programme call ‘Underwater control contributing to resilience at sea’. The main objective of the project was to achieve a European and sovereign capacity in future mine warfare and create a path for the next generation ‘made in Europe’ countermeasure solutions. In order to realise this objective, Miricle addressed various stages: studies, design, prototyping and testing. These stages inter alia included the successful testing of an XL Unmanned Underwater Vehicle, a protototyped mine disposal system and multiple innovative systems to detect buried mines. Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ), was one of the five Belgian partners in the consortium. Within the project, VLIZ was able to forward its research on the acoustic imaging of the seabed to spatially map and visualize buried structures and objects - in this case buried mines - in the highest possible detail. VLIZ also led the work on ‘Port and Offshore Testing’, building on the expertise of the institute in the field of marine operations and technology.
