ProgrammesThe Defence-related Research Action (DEFRA), run through cooperation between BELSPO and the Royal Higher Institute for Defence (RHID), has opened its thematic call for proposals on “Pulsed Directed Energy Effectors”. General information about the programme and the call is available on the DEFRA website.
Pre-proposals must be submitted through a dedicated SharePoint site. To request access, the coordinator should email defra@belspo.be and state their name, email address and the theme for which they want to submit a pre-proposal. Access to the SharePoint folder is restricted to one person per pre-proposal, namely the coordinator. The submission deadline is 11 September 2026 at 14.00.
An online information session is planned for 31 August 2026 from 13.30 to 15.00. It is designed to explain the context, scope, timeline, rules, themes, submission procedure, evaluation process, and safety and ethical aspects of the call.
