The Climate KIC of the European Institute for Innovation and Technology (EIT) opens applications for 2026 Climathon organisers of events that encourage systemic climate action through local challenges. 

Climathon events are designed to unite citizens in addressing local climate challenges, with formats that can be in-person, hybrid, or virtual, typically lasting between 12 to 48 hours. Since its inception in 2015, Climathon has seen the participation of around 600 organisers and over 30,000 individuals globally.

Any organisation is welcome to apply to become a Climathon Organiser, including SMEs, universities, city councils, and NGOs. Organisers will oversee the local implementation of the event, with support provided by Climate KIC. A Climathon Organiser licence grants access to resources such as training webinars, a Climathon Playbook, and networking opportunities with fellow organisers. Please note that a membership is necessary to get access to the resources and trainings.

Organisations are encouraged to apply here for the Climathon Organiser licence before the 31 March 2026 deadline.

ROOT - Rolling Out OSNMA for the secure synchronization of Telecom networks

The ROOT project obtained funding under Horizon 2020 topic ‘EGNSS applications fostering societal resilience and protecting the environment’. The project, which ran from November 2020 to July 2022,  aimed to demonstrate the benefit of Galileo OSNMA signal to increase the robustness of critical telecom infrastructures.

The Flanders-based company Septentrio contributed substantially to completing this objective together with the other ROOT partners. The results of the project partially close a gap in the security of telecommunication networks dependent on satellite-derived time, with indirect benefits in curbing illegal attempts to disrupt network services.
