ProgrammesThe European Commission has revised the EDF Work Programme for 2026, aligning it with the Mini-Omnibus Regulation. Key changes involve simplified procedures and new investment areas aimed at supporting SMEs and research organisations.
The updates to the EDF Work Programme 2026 halve the length of applications, reduce the number of award criteria, and streamline the proposal evaluation process. These amendments are designed to benefit small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and research organisations.
The STEP initiative now includes a fourth investment area for defence technologies.
Furthermore, high-quality EDF proposals will automatically receive STEP certification, granting access to additional funding opportunities.
The Mini-Omnibus Regulation also paves the way for Ukraine to potentially become an associated country within the EDF after further negotiations.
The calls for EDF 2026 have been published on the European Union's 'Tenders & Funding' portal at https://ec.europa.eu/info/funding-tenders/opportunities/portal/screen/home.

The AI4Culture project, funded under Digital Europe call Data space for cultural heritage (deployment) aims to develop an online capacity building hub for AI technologies in the cultural heritage sector. This hub contributes to the creation of the European common cultural heritage data space, which provides support to the digital transformation of Europe’s cultural sector and fosters the creation and reuse of content in cultural and creative sectors. The Flemish company CrossLang is one of the 12 partners in the project and brings in its year-long expertise in the development of multilingual technology to the transcription and translation of scanned printed and handwritten documents.
