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).

AI Continent Deployment: Best use of technologies
The European Commission has published the recording and presentations from its 18 December 2025 info session on the call topics Data Space for Manufacturing (DIGITAL-2026-DSM-AI-09-DS-MANUFACTUR-STEP) and European Digital Media Observatory hubs (DIGITAL-2026-BESTUSE-TECH-EDMO-09-HUBS). The slides and recording are available on ... read more
The MareGraph project, ‘Towards an Interoperable Marine Knowledge Graph’, obtained funding under the Digital Europe topic ‘OPEN-AI – Public Sector Open Data for AI and Open Data Platform’. The project will increase the semantic, technical, and legal interoperability of three selected high-valued datasets (HVDs) all maintained by the Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ), which is one of the four partners of the project. This will allow the onboarding of essential marine datasets in the Common European Data Spaces. As such MareGraph will provide a structural component in the digital transition of the marine landscape. The numerous impacts of the project will benefit our seas globally in old and new ways to come.
