Today, the Commission announced the results of 2023–2024 space-related calls for proposals under Horizon Europe. As part of Horizon Europe Cluster 4 – Space, €76 million will be committed to support 28 space research projects implemented by the European Health and Digital Executive Agency (HaDEA) and the EU Space Programme Agency (EUSPA).
The selected projects will bring breakthrough innovations and contribute to strengthening both the European Union Space programme and other space research priorities in various domains, from Earth observation to EGNSS and secure telecommunications.
The selection will boost the Union’s competitiveness and technological non-dependency also by developing new services and downstream applications for Copernicus, Galileo and EGNOS, and GOVSATCOM.
The industrial consortia behind these 28 projects involve a large proportion of New Space companies, as start-ups and SMEs represent around 1/3 of the selected participants, receiving 30% of the allocated funding.
Space-related projects are expected to receive close to €1.9 billion in total during the seven years of the implementation of Horizon Europe, corresponding to an average of €270 million per year, including activities delegated to ESA.
