Grant

This program, HORIZON-SESAR-2022-DES-ER-01-WA1-8, focuses on fundamental science and outreach to enhance civil-military interoperability and coordination, particularly within air traffic management (ATM). It aims to improve data sharing, traffic prediction, and airspace information exchange while maintaining robust security. This initiative is a part of the broader Digital European Sky Exploratory Research program.

Who is Funded

This program targets organizations involved in civil and military aviation and research across EU Member States and Associated Countries. The primary goal is to foster enhanced coordination and security in airspace management through innovative research.

What is Funded

This program funds research and innovation activities aimed at enhancing civil-military operations, improving access to airspace, and developing robust performance management frameworks within air traffic management. Projects should focus on innovative solutions for data exchange, security, and optimal resource utilization.

Type and Scope of Funding

This program provides grants as a form of financial support. For this specific topic (WA1-8), the maximum EU contribution per project is 1 million Euros, forming part of a larger 10 million Euro budget allocated to Work Area 1 (WA1).

Conditions and Requirements

Applicants must adhere to specific admissibility and eligibility conditions outlined in the Horizon Europe Work Programme General Annexes, which also cover financial and operational capacity.
