Programmes AI Continent Cybersecurity Defence NATO-EDA SpaceThe Luxembourg government has launched a new research and development (R&D) call focused on defence, moving away from dual-use projects to meet NATO requirements. The annual budget for this call is €11.25 million, aimed specifically at defence-related projects.
This call allows entities from allied and partner countries to participate as 'self-funded' partners in a consortium. As such, Belgian companies can join projects, provided they collaborate with Luxembourgish partners and fund their own participation. The call does not impose specific research themes but prioritizes areas such as materials, cybersecurity, space, circular economy, autonomous systems, and artificial intelligence. The projects must be at a technology readiness level (TRL) between 3 and 7, ranging from proof of concept to prototype.
Project idea submissions are open from September 15 to December 12, 2025.
For more details on the submission process and requirements, interested parties can visit the relevant Luxembourg website.

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.
