The European Defence Fund, the European Union’s first Programme dedicated to defence research and development, has been approved end of April by the European Parliament. While the European Commission is taking actions to improve synergies between civil, defence and space industries, Luxembourg is preparing its industry and research ecosystem to the opportunities of the new funding instrument. As the first calls for proposals are scheduled to be published beginning of July 2021, Luxinnovation is inviting Luxembourgish companies and research institutes to take part in the EDF -Luxembourg Info Day.

It will provide:

  • Key insights on the functioning of the European Defence Fund and opportunities it brings for Defence research at EU level
  • an overview of national defence technology and capability priorities & funding opportunities
  • recommendations on how to build successfully consortia
  • testimonials on the EDF pre-cursor programme EDIDP
