Digital enablers and building blocks for Earth Observation and Satellite telecommunication for Space solutions
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.
Digital enablers and building blocks for Earth Observation and Satellite telecommunication for Space solutions is a European Commission call that funds up to three research projects, worth as much as EUR 5 million each, building digital technologies that improve European satellite communication and Earth observation systems and connect them to terrestrial networks. Proposals only need to land some…
The Commission is looking for research on digital building blocks that strengthen European satellite communication and Earth observation: better satellite network interconnectivity and interoperability with terrestrial 5G/6G networks, and AI-driven on-board or ground processing that improves the resolution, timeliness and resilience of Earth observation data. Proposals should also cover shared building blocks such as security, resource optimisation and high-performance processing hardware that serve both domains.
