The 2024 EDF Work Programme addresses 32 call topics in total, structured along 6 thematic calls for proposals, 2 non-thematic calls for proposals and 2 actions in support of the Alliance for Defence Medical Countermeasures.
It will support projects in critical defence domains, such as countering hypersonic missiles, developing a broad range of unmanned vehicles in the air and on the ground, as well as secure space communication. It also prepares the ground for next generation defence systems, such as helicopters and mid-size cargo aircraft.
Furthermore, the work programme provides a wide range of support measures to promote defence innovation and inclusiveness through the EU Defence Innovation Scheme (EUDIS) with a total funding of €225 million. This includes Technological Challenges on space and on sensors, a spin-in call under the ‘Materials and components’ category of action and a call with sub-call (cascade funding) for start-ups and SMEs under ‘Simulation and training’, as well as open, non-thematic calls for SMEs.
EUDIS will continue to fund the organisation of annual defence hackathons, as well as business coaching for SME beneficiaries and the Defence Equity Facility under InvestEU. The novelty for 2024 is the foreseen funding for a EUDIS Business Accelerator and Matchmaking with investors (call for tender expected to be published in spring 2024).

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.
