Programmes AI Continent Cybersecurity Defence NATO-EDA SpaceThe Luxembourg government has launched a new research and development (R&D) call focused on defence, moving away from dual-use projects to meet NATO requirements. The annual budget for this call is €11.25 million, aimed specifically at defence-related projects.
This call allows entities from allied and partner countries to participate as 'self-funded' partners in a consortium. As such, Belgian companies can join projects, provided they collaborate with Luxembourgish partners and fund their own participation. The call does not impose specific research themes but prioritizes areas such as materials, cybersecurity, space, circular economy, autonomous systems, and artificial intelligence. The projects must be at a technology readiness level (TRL) between 3 and 7, ranging from proof of concept to prototype.
Project idea submissions are open from September 15 to December 12, 2025.
For more details on the submission process and requirements, interested parties can visit the relevant Luxembourg website.
We offer news and event updates, covering all domains and topics of Horizon Europe, Digital Europe & EDF (and occasionally, for ongoing projects, Horizon 2020).

Founded in 1999, Luciad serves clients in Europe, Asia and the Americas. Though it recently was acquired by Hexagon Geospatial, they kept an agile SME mindset. Thousands of end users work directly with Luciad’s geospatial applications, and major systems integrators (think Airbus Defense and Space, Lufthansa Systems, NATO, Thales…) incorporate its software in their own products.
NCP Flanders went to Leuven to interview Frederic Houbie, the Research Projects Manager at Luciad, about how he sees Horizon 2020. Luciad is a partner in the MARISA project, which is a collaborative RIA project submitted to an ICT call topic.
