Grants in Germany

Closed

Funds research into direct recycling processes that recover high-purity materials from low-value battery chemistries like LFP and sodium-ion.

Closed

Funds hydropower technology or water-management projects that boost grid flexibility on existing plants while improving river ecosystems and biodiversity.

Closed

Funds research projects that tackle one named weak point — sustainability, skills, or supply-chain complexity — in a European renewable energy value chain.

Closed

Funds battery-technology developers building low-cost, low-critical-raw-material lithium-ion or sodium-ion cells for electric vehicles.

Funds one flagship consortium to demonstrate next-generation automatic train control, from remote driving to fully automated operation, across passenger and freight rail.

Funds early-stage digital technology — health monitoring, smart avionics, AI data processing — that makes future launch systems more autonomous.

Closed

Funds up to three research projects, worth as much as EUR 5 million each, to build digital technologies that make European satellite communication and Earth observation systems work better and connect to terrestrial networks.

Funds research designing a new digital flight-rules concept for certified crewed and uncrewed aircraft.

Funds digital forensic equipment, mobile forensic tools and collaborative systems used to investigate fraud against the EU budget.

Funds one consortium to build a scannable digital-label standard that replaces cluttered printed labelling on medical devices and diagnostics.

Closed

Funds a common digital-ship architecture and naval combat-cloud design that lets EU navies share systems and data across their fleets.

Closed

Pays three to four consortia to pilot automated compliance-reporting tools that let businesses and regulators exchange data directly.

Funds on-ground or in-orbit demonstration of structural-damage detection and thermo-mechanical monitoring for reusable launch systems.

Closed

Backs space-enabled digital solutions for tracking sensitive and food supply chains.

Closed

Funds demonstration projects using AI, IoT and robotics to cut energy use and emissions in fisheries and aquaculture across at least three countries in one sea basin.

Closed

Funds one coordination project that pilots a digital, data-driven replacement for the paper-heavy conformity assessment process device makers use to get CE marking under the MDR and IVDR.

Closed

Paid two European projects EUR 5 million each to demonstrate on-demand, digitally driven local textile manufacturing, re-granting up to EUR 60,000 per SME third party involved.

Closed

Zero-equity co-funding for space-enabled water-resilience monitoring in stressed river basins.

Closed

Funds projects that grow EU aquaculture into new low-trophic species such as algae and shellfish, using lower-impact feed and farming methods.

Closed

Funds up to nine projects, worth EUR 1–3 million each, to build open-source Web 4.0 building blocks in digital identity, software supply chain security, open hardware or decentralised platforms, with up to 15% of each budget re-granted to third-party developers.

Closed

Funds the continuation of a pan-European partnership that re-grants money to national and regional bodies running joint calls on sustainable urban transitions.

Closed

Funds affordable loitering munitions and small combat drones that can be mass-produced, with cascade funding for smaller tech companies.

Closed

Funds early-stage implementation work — governance, funding, data systems, access policy — for one of eleven named ESFRI research infrastructure projects.

Closed

Funds research that closes major climate-science gaps, reduces projection uncertainty and supplies evidence for policy assessments.
