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).

The Stargate project obtained funding under the special Green Deal call of Horizon 2020, more in particular under the topic of “green ports and airports”. It received the maximum score of the evaluators and was selected out of more than 40 projects. Stargate’s purpose is to prove that sustainable aviation is possible and happening. It focuses on the further decarbonization of the aviation industry, the improvement of local environmental quality and the stimulation of the modal split. Together with a consortium of 21 European partners with a diverse and rich expertise (airports, community partners, knowledge institutions, consultants, local governments, …), Brussels Airports takes the lead as lighthouse airport to develop and implement innovative solutions. Results that prove successful can be deployed at the fellow airports (Toulouse, Budapest, Athens). Over the course of the coming five years, the consortium will exchange knowledge to investigate and realize more than 30 concrete projects.
