BELSPO and the Royal Higher Institute for Defence are preparing the launch of the 2027 calls under the Defence-related Research Action programme (DEFRA).

Four calls will be opened simultaneously:

  • DEFRA Call 2027
  • Human Factors Open Call
  • SPACE Call
  • CYBER Call

To help potential applicants prepare competitive proposals and identify suitable partners, two Information Days will be organised on 23 and 24 November 2026 at the Royal Military Academy. Participants will receive an overview of the programme priorities, call topics, application modalities, and opportunities for collaboration.

Further information on the calls and registration process is expected to be available on the DEFRA website in early November 2026.
