ProgrammesTRUNSPORT, an initiative funded under the Digital Europe programme, has opened a call for Financial Support to Third Parties (FSTP) grants. With this call, TRUNSPORT will provide financial support and engage into its cybersecurity ecosystem transport sector entities (road, rail, air, and water). In a second open call, that will open later, it will expand participation to entities operating in other OT/IT-based critical infrastructure sectors.
The project aims to award funding to 21 projects for transport sector entities to strengthen cybersecurity resilience through the TRUNSPORT Cyber Support Hub, within a structured 9-month programme of mentoring, training, and hands-on access to cybersecurity services.
The TRUNSPORT Open Call 1 provides lump-sum grants of up to EUR 60,000.
More information on the call can be found on the TRUNSPORT website and the dedicated page on the Funding & Tenders Portal.
Deadline to submit applications is 30 October 2026.
Background:
TRUNSPORT is dedicated to strengthening cybersecurity resilience across the transport sector and related critical infrastructures. As digitalisation accelerates, transport systems face growing cyber threats that can disrupt operations and compromise safety. TRUNSPORT addresses these challenges through its Cyber Security Hub (CSH), a one-stop platform offering advanced services for preparedness, protection, and mutual assistance.

Only for stakeholders located in Flanders
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.
