The obvious answer would be: in the SPACE programme, of course. But also in Horizon Europe, there are some nice research & innovation opportunities.

Below you can find an overview of call topics from Pillar II that have a EGNSS and/or Copernicus link. Attached to this article you can find the same information in an Excel.
