The ESA Acceleration Days focus on developing solutions for crisis preparedness. Selected teams can propose their ideas for a chance to secure funding of up to €100,000 through a Cooperative Agreement with ESA.

The ESA Acceleration Days on Crisis Preparedness will take place from October 20 to 24, 2024. This in-person event is designed as a fast-paced competition, similar to hackathons, where top teams work to develop innovative solutions for pressing challenges in Europe.

The focus will be on creating solutions for the evacuation of a large stadium during a crisis incident. This initiative is a collaboration between ESA, safe.brussels, and the Midi Police Zone, aiming to find practical solutions to real-world problems.

The competition is open to all organizations from ESA Member States, including industry, SMEs, startups, research centers, and academia. Teams must consist of at least three members and will receive support throughout the event to refine and pitch their ideas to a jury.

Applications close on July 31, 2025, at 23:59 CEST.

EHRI-IP - European Holocaust Research Infrastructure

The European Holocaust Research Infrastructure Implementation Phase (EHRI-IP) project was funded under Horizon Europe call topic HORIZON-INFRA-2023-DEV-01-02. The project duration was two years and came to an end in February 2026. The main objective of the EHRI-IP project was to undertake all necessary legal, financial and strategic work to have a permanent organisation or ERIC (European Research Infrastructure Consortium) fully operational by the end of the implementation phase. The project consortium consisted of 14 partners from 13 countries. Read more about the project and the contribution of Flemish partner Kazerne Dossin in this testimonial.
