Programmes AI Continent Cybersecurity Defence NATO-EDA Space

The 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.

Target audience: companies|researchers|innovators. 

For more details on the submission process and requirements, interested parties can visit the relevant Luxembourg website.

ERC grants awarded to professor Inez Germeys

Professor Inez Germeys leads the Center for Contextual Psychiatry at KU Leuven, which is a large multi-disciplinary research group focusing on the interaction between the person and the environment in the development of psychopathology. She has received a European Research Council (ERC) Consolidator grant (INTERACT) and Proof of Concept grant (IMPACT). With these grants professor Germeys and her team researched a new mobile self-management therapy for patients with a psychotic disorder. The Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in Daily Life (ACT-DL) was further developed for the clinical environment. In line with that the Horizon 2020 IMMERSE project aims to thoroughly evaluate strategies, processes, and outcomes of implementing a digital mobile mental health solution.
