The Digital Europe programme started in November 2021 with the publication of the first work programmes and the opening of the first calls. In the meantime, evaluation results of the first two rounds of calls are in and show that Flemish stakeholders have been quite successful with their proposals.

The third round of calls is expected to open on 29 September 2022. An info session to inform about the context and content of the upcoming calls, requirements to participate in the programme and the support NCP Flanders can give to interested stakeholders is organised jointly by NCP Flanders and the Department of Economics, Science & Innovation (Departement EWI). Among the topics expected for this 3rd round of calls are sectoral data spaces for cross-border data sharing, AI-on-demand platform and cloud-to edge based service solutions as well as specialised education programmes to enhance digital skills.
