The first Horizon 2020 Call for Applications in Satellite
Navigation is officially opened. The Horizon 2020 (H2020)
programme is dedicated to providing opportunities for the
development of applications for use with EGNOS and Galileo
Early Services. The overall budget for the period 2014-2020
is EUR 70 billion.
The motto for EU Space R&D under H2020 is 'Prepare for
the increasing role of space in the future and reap the
benefits of space now'. It is under this motto that
proposals are expected to address concrete solutions and
applications in the GNSS sectors of road, aviation, LBS,
maritime, rail, agriculture or mapping.
The programme's objective is to facilitate the creation
of innovative applications, products, feasibility studies
and market tests that can have a substantial impact on the
European innovation know-how and economy.
What is H2020?
Horizon 2020 is the European Union's next programme for
research and innovation, with a focus on securing Europe's
global competitiveness. The projects coming from the first
call in Applications in Satellite Navigation will be managed
by the European GNSS Agency (GSA) under the Delegation
Agreement with the Commission.
How to apply
This first call for applications introduces a number of
features that make applying for funding easier, including a
common, web-based Participation Portal that allows you to
