Seminar on EU funding for the defence sector

The European Defence Agency (EDA), the Ministry of Defence of the Kingdom of Spain and the Agency of Innovation and Development of Andalusia (IDEA) are co-organising an EDA seminar on EU funding for the defence sector which will take place on 3 November 2016 in Seville, Spain.

The objective is to raise awareness and inform defence-related stakeholders (SMEs, larger companies, research and technology organisations, academia, clusters) about existing possibilities to access European Union funding programmes running till 2020, including the European Structural and Investment Funds (ESIF) and the COSME (EU Programme for the COmpetitiveness of SMEs).

A particular focus will be put on ways and means to benefit from dual-use R&T funding and Enterprise Europe Network’s free-of-charge services in native language. A practical coaching session will simulate the drafting of the application to access ESIF.

The EDA’s Chief Executive, Mr Jorge Domecq, will deliver the Opening Speech.
