The EUDIS Defence Hackathon aims to gather local hosts to organise the DEFENDING AIRSPACE hackathon from 26 to 28 March 2026. This event will take place simultaneously in eight European countries and is designed for diverse entities such as universities and businesses to participate as hosts.

Organisers are currently seeking eight local hosts, including public or private entities, accelerators, incubators, and military test sites. Each selected host will receive increased funding of €60,000 to support the event and the necessary technical equipment.

Furthermore, host entities will have the flexibility to define one of the hackathon's challenges themselves.

An online information session is scheduled for 12 January 2026, at 11:30 CET, with the link to be shared in early January.

The deadline for submitting applications is 25 January 2026 at 23:59 CET. More information can be found here: https://Join our upcoming edition - March 2026 - Eudis Defence Hackathon. and in the applicant guide: EUDIS-2026-Guide-for-Applicants_vFinal-1.pdf.

Testimonial

Luciad - Geospatial software for mission-critical operations

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
