Programmes Security Digital, Industry & Space Cybersecurity Defence NATO-EDAApplications are open until 15 November 2024
About the Programme
The NATO Chief Scientist Grants Programme is dedicated to fostering excellence in science and technology research. It is committed to supporting groundbreaking projects that contribute to global security and scientific advancement. The programme particularly encourages applications from qualified women in STEM fields, recognizing the vital importance of diverse perspectives in addressing complex security challenges.
In 2025, the programme will award 500,000 Euros in total to fund the following types of activities:
- S&T Studies on Emerging Topics
One of the primary purposes of the Office of the Chief Scientist (OCS) is to disseminate timely, clear, and up-to-date scientific advice and technical information related to defence activities to NATO Allies. Every year, the OCS publishes a list of S&T themes and invites applicants to submit research proposals. If selected, applicants must produce a research report on that topic. - S&T Awareness Initiatives
In a world where NATO S&T efforts continue to make great headways in improving the security of its Allies, the STO aims for an increased awareness of its S&T prowess and an inclusive and diverse reinforcement of its community of experts. Every year, the OCS publishes a list of S&T themes and invites applicants to submit S&T Awareness Initiatives on those topics. In particular, two types of activities are envisaged:
- Events and projects established to raise awareness of STO’s efforts and mission
- Initiatives that widen the STO scientific knowledge base, attracting under-represented talent from the STEM ecosystem to deliver cutting-edge S&T
*Please note that grants may vary in size, but typically they will range between 25,000 and 100,000 Euros.

Luciad - Geospatial software for mission-critical operations
Founded in 1999, Luciad serves clients in Europe, Asia and the Americas. Though it recently was acquired by Hexagon Geospatial, they kept an agile SME mindset. Thousands of end users work directly with Luciad’s geospatial applications, and major systems integrators (think Airbus Defense and Space, Lufthansa Systems, NATO, Thales…) incorporate its software in their own products.
NCP Flanders went to Leuven to interview Frederic Houbie, the Research Projects Manager at Luciad, about how he sees Horizon 2020. Luciad is a partner in the MARISA project, which is a collaborative RIA project submitted to an ICT call topic.
