Webinar The Directorate of Defence of the Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs, the Ministry of the Economy, the National Research Fund and Luxinnovation have joined forces to offer a new funding opportunity to companies and research organisations looking to develop dual-use defence technologies (products, services and systems). The 2022 Joint defence call Edition will focus on SPACE and MATERIALS. Have a look at the call text here.
Luxinnovation has the pleasure of inviting you to a webinar aimed at explaining how to respond to the call for proposals.
The joint defence call launched on 3 June 2022 provides financial incentives to applicants who want to demonstrate the relevance of their research results, materials, technologies, products and/or solutions as well as their potential benefit for defence applications. This initiative is based on the Luxembourg Government’s ambition to support the Luxembourg industry in getting access to the defence market. While both individual and collaborative projects proposals are possible, cooperation between companies and research organisations is encouraged.
The webinar will explain how to prepare applications in order to respond to the joint call for defence projects. It will provide an excellent opportunity to learn more about the objectives and modalities of the call.
The presentations will be followed by a Q&A session where participants can ask their questions. Questions can be asked directly during the webinar.
