Grants in Germany

Funds research on high-capacity, energy-efficient optical access networks and AI-managed optical architecture for the 6G transport layer.

Funds research on detect-and-avoid sensors, drone integration, space-launch coordination and robust satellite navigation for ATM.

Closed

Funds research projects worth EUR 3.4 million each that mine past industrial transitions for lessons on a fair green transition.

Closed

Pays a Widening-country organisation to join an already-funded Horizon Europe or EIC Pathfinder project as a new partner.

Closed

Funds €3–6M projects on the digital building blocks of satellite comms and Earth observation — payloads, ground processing, interoperable data access.

Closed

Funds €5–10M consortium projects that mature Earth observation and SatCom technology to flight readiness, ahead of real demonstration missions.

Closed

Funds €10–15M projects building launch pads and ground facilities on EU territory, so European launch providers can fly from European spaceports.

Closed

Funds one €3–4M project turning a prototype irradiation facility into a booked-beam-time service for radiation-testing Europe’s space chips.

Closed

Funds one EU project, up to €13M, to build and qualify a radiation-hardened FPGA chip so Europe's space missions stop depending on non-EU suppliers.

Closed

Funds €1.5–2.5M teams mining space-science mission data — astronomy, heliophysics, solar-system exploration — into publications, tools and data products.

Closed

Funds one €6–7M project to industrialise an EU source of semi-insulating SiC substrates — the wafer base for the GaN chips in satellite radios.

Closed

Funds €2–3M projects developing a European refuelling interface — the docking hardware that lets satellites be topped up in orbit.

Closed

Paid one European consortium EUR 1.5 million to run a mentoring service, re-granting up to EUR 60,000 per project, that helps EU-funded researchers turn results into official standards.

Pays a coordination action that connects EU and Japanese semiconductor researchers and companies to plan joint chip R&I and secure the chip supply chain.

Closed

Funds tools and training curricula that make humanitarian demining safer and teach civilians how to avoid unexploded ordnance.

Closed

Funds development of a hybrid AI-control and digital-twin system for proactive, market-integrated grid-scale energy storage.

Funds one team integrating and testing fully electric hydrogen fuel-cell and direct hydrogen combustion aircraft concepts, up to TRL 4.

Funds around five chip Innovation Action projects at TRL 5-8 — pilot lines, full-scale test zones or new frameworks used in real products — anywhere on the Chips JU's 2026 roadmap.

Closed

Funds one project researching aircraft ice-detection and protection technology for the next generation of low-carbon aircraft.

Closed

Funds research that measures wasteful or low-value healthcare practices and pilots ways to cut them, freeing up resources for care that actually helps patients.

Closed

Funds research projects worth EUR 3.4 million each that study how digital tools and learning environments affect children's wellbeing and skills.

Closed

Pays one European coordination project EUR 2 million to build cross-sector policy guidance on culture, health and well-being.

Closed

Funds cascading sub-grants of up to EUR 600,000 for interregional deep-tech and innovation projects, through joint programmes that regional and national authorities apply to run together.

Closed

Pays coalitions of regional governments to run cross-border innovation programmes that cascade EUR 600,000 grants to real technology projects.
