The HORIZON-SESAR-2025 calls are part of the Horizon Europe programme, aimed at funding projects that strengthen the European Digital Sky.

Coordinated by the SESAR 3 Joint Undertaking, they drive the transformation of the Air Traffic Management (ATM) system through disruptive technologies, advanced automation, and environmental solutions.

These calls seek not only to improve the efficiency of Europe’s airspace but also to reduce aviation’s environmental footprint, optimise air navigation services, and ensure a safe transition towards future air mobility.

The HORIZON-SESAR-2025 calls target:

  • Aviation and technology companies.
  • Universities and research centres specialising in aviation, drones, and telecommunications.
  • Air Navigation Service Providers (ANSPs).
  • Innovative SMEs in advanced air mobility and sustainability.
  • European consortia involving partners from various Member States.

Transnational cooperation is prioritised to strengthen the European Research Area in air traffic management and innovative air mobility.

EURHISFIRM - Long-term data for Europe

EURHISFIRM designs a world-class research infrastructure (RI) to connect, collect, collate, align, and share detailed, reliable, and standardized long-term financial, governance, and geographical data on European companies. EURHISFIRM enables researchers, policymakers, and other stakeholders to develop and evaluate effective strategies to promote investment, economic growth and job creation. The RI provides the tools for long-term analysis highlighting the dynamics of the past and the way those dynamics structure our present and future.

The EURHISFIRM European project received € 3.4 million in financing from the European Commission through the H2020-INFRADEV-2017-1 research infrastructures call. The project started with a consortium of eleven research organisations (including University of Antwerp) from seven European countries.
