Cascade funding, also known as Financial Support to Third Parties (FSTP), is a mechanism of the European Commission to distribute public funds in order to assist startups, scale-ups, SMEs and/or mid-caps in the uptake or development of innovation. 

FSTP is a SME-friendly application scheme which allows that some EU-funded projects may issue, in turn, open calls for further funding. Currently, only the Horizon and Digital programmes may foresee the use of this feature. 

All registered cascade funding calls are now available on the Funding & Tenders Portal: Search Funding & Tenders (europa.eu)

EITHOS - European Identity Theft Observatory System

The EITHOS project, funded under Horizon Europe Cluster 3 call “Online identity theft is countered”, aims to develop a “European Identity Theft Observatory System” (EITHOS). The system will provide easy access to information and intelligence about previous and current identity theft related trends to empower EU citizens, Law Enforcements Agencies (LEAs), and policy makers to further contribute to the prevention, detection, and investigation of crimes related to online identity theft. The Cyber and Data Security Lab (CDSL), part of the Law, Science, Technology and Society (LSTS) Research Group at Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB), is one of the 12 partners in the EITHOS consortium, contributing its vast expertise on legal aspects of data protection, cybersecurity and information security law and policy.
