HORIZON-SESAR-2025 Calls: Boosting Aerial Innovation

Published on | 1 month ago

Programmes Digital, Industry & Space

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.

Autoship - a new and durable way of freight transport

Autoship is, as the name suggests, an acronym for autonomous ship. Just like with self-driving cars, the possibilities of an unmanned boat seem endless. It can create more efficient freight transport, around the clock deliveries and these are just a few of the examples. The project has two societal challenges.

At first, De Vlaamse Waterweg was a bit hesitant as their experience with FP7 or Horizon 2020 projects was limited and they had not been very successful up until then. The fact that they were already doing basic research on the topic of autonomous boats, and the administrative help of NCP FLanders helped De Vlaamse waterweg to cross the line and get involved.
