Expected Impact: To effectively progress in developing and testing elements necessary for cross-border digital public services and pave the way towards seamless digital public services across the Union. Objective: The objective of the action is to allow Member States to work together, jointly identify needs and develop interoperability assets needed for cross-border digital public services, leveraging collective resources and expertise to achieve impactful results unattainable by single entities. The MCP supports the implementation of the Interoperable Europe Act by enhancing collaboration among stakeholders to contribute to the priorities of the Interoperable Europe Agenda, focusing on improving public services through seamless data exchange and addressing interoperability challenges. This effort aligns with the EU’s Digital Decade goal of ensuring full online access to public services and secure eID solutions by 2030. Scope: Citizens and businesses demand user-focused, inclusive digital public services that are accessible through multiple channels and align with European values. Public administrations are urged to become more data-driven and adopt integrated approaches while ensuring safe use of AI. The MCP aims to improve interoperability by supporting existing and developing new solutions, enhancing collaboration among stakeholders for cross-border services, and scaling up innovative solutions. It also focuses on implementing EU policies, particularly on AI and Data Spaces, to streamline processes and improve interoperability across networks with common data standards.

Open call seeking legal entities with demonstrated experience in the EU and/or Ukrainian defence drone and counter-drone ecosystem to become founding members of the EU-Ukraine Drone Alliance, an industry-led initiative linking R&D with production to build a comprehensive European drone and counter-drone capability in cooperation with Ukraine.

Objective: This call builds on the legacy of the Civil Society Empowerment Programme (CSEP) and the work of the Radicalisation Awareness Network (RAN) , while contributing to the ongoing activities of the EU Knowledge Hub on Prevention of Radicalisation . It reaffirms the Commission’s commitment to supporting civil society through sustainable, evidence-based actions that help protect individuals and communities from online radicalisation. The call aims to support actions that contribute to preventing and countering radicalisation leading to violent extremism and terrorism across the European Union. In particular, it responds to the growing challenge of online radicalisation , including the manipulation of youth and vulnerable groups through violent extremist, terrorist, and other harmful content distributed via digital platforms. The general objective is to prevent and counter the spread of violent extremist content online by strengthening the capacity of civil-society actors in the EU and relevant priority third countries to respond strategically, creatively, and sustainably to evolving online threats. In line with the EU’s approach to prevention, the call focuses on empowering youth, civil-society organisations (CSOs), educators, and community leaders to become resilient actors against extremist manipulation across digital environments. Particular attention should be paid to emotional wellbeing, social trust, and the ability of communities to respond constructively to polarising events both online and offline. Projects funded under this call should combine online and offline action and involve young people and communities directly in the design and delivery of activities. Prevention efforts must be evidence-based, participatory, and guided by robust monitoring and evaluation frameworks that measure real change in awareness, attitudes, or behaviour.

Expected Impact: Projects are expected to deliver results aligned with the expected results set out below and to evidence their contribution through dedicated KPIs defined in the proposal. Expected results include: • tangible capacity increases in EU-based production of the targeted energetic components, with demonstrated contribution to competitiveness ; • improved resilience & geographical distribution of supply, reducing single points of failure for energetic materials and related industrial services; • strengthened availability and security of supply for priority defence product production lines, commensurate with identified risks and exposure to the risk of materialisation of conventional military threats; • and measurable lead-time reductions , establishment or availability of reserved capacity where applicable, and workforce trained to operate and sustain the reinforced production lines. Proposals shall define, baseline and track KPIs such as added throughput (e.g., tonnes/month of propellant powder or explosives; units/month of propulsion systems/warheads; filling lines output), time-to-rate, lead-time reduction, yield/quality improvements, qualified output delivered, reserved capacity parameters, numbers of staff trained, and indicators evidencing risk mitigation (e.g., raw-material securing measures, safety performance and compliance readiness, supply-chain robustness and obsolescence management outcomes). Where implemented, the physical and cyber protection WP is expected to deliver measurable improvements in site and production security, evidenced through threat assessment protected sites to support the security measures and KPIs (e.g., coverage of protected areas/assets, detection/alert performance, response readiness, critical vulnerabilities mitigated). Those KPIs shall be linked to the project’s overall risk register and show how risk exposure is reduced and how production continuity is improved, thereby limiting the likelihood and/or impact of incidents that could delay production ramp-up or affect output and delivery reliability (including, where relevant, the availability of reserved capacity and the achievement of workforce-related milestones). Objective: The objective of this call is to reinforce the EU industrial production capacity of defence products, including their components and corresponding raw materials. This topic aims to strengthen the competitiveness, responsiveness and ability of the EDTIB to reinforce EU industrial production capacity for energetic components (including their components and corresponding raw materials insofar as they are intended or used wholly for the production of defence products) that constitute critical bottlenecks for key defence product across land, air, naval and underwater domains: • rockets, aerial bombs, mines and loitering munition; • missiles; • tank, artillery and counter-unmanned systems (UxS) ammunition; • small-calibre cartridges (including ammunition and devices for dismounted soldiers). Actions shall be aligned with the objectives, scope and priorities of this call topic and shall contribute to the competitiveness of the EU defence technological and industrial base by securing specific production capacity for: • propellant powder (including nitrocellulose, single, double & triple-base powder, and modular charge); • explosives (including nitroglycerine, TNT, RDX, HMX, PETN, NTO, primers/fuses); • propulsion systems ; • warheads and electronic fuze ; • filling plants ; • and access to relevant raw materials . As industrial reinforcement actions, proposals shall integrate a robust approach to managing key risks (including safety, supply-chain and obsolescence, life-cycle and maintainability, and industrialisation) and shall, where relevant, take into account the necessity to include provisions allowing to upgrade quickly the targeted defence product based on the evolving lessons identified from the battlefield. Applicants may include an optional dedicated Work Package (WP) implementing a supporting action as defined in Article 13(d) of Regulation (EU) 2025/2643, to reinforce the physical and cyber protection of the production capacity targeted by the action, including on security against UxS/drone-enabled threats . The objective is to reduce the risk of disruption, sabotage or interference affecting production continuity, ramp-up and deliveries, complementing the proposal’s overall risk-management approach (notably safety, supply-chain and obsolescence, industrialisation/integration, and maintainability risks) and supporting the achievement of the industrial KPIs set for lead time and capacity. Scope: Proposals shall implement Industrial Reinforcement Actions, in line with Regulation (EU) SENSITIVE EN 11 EN 2025/2643, targeting the specific defence product and production capacities listed under “Objectives pursued”. Proposals shall demonstrate the criticality of the targeted defence product and associated production capacity , and justify the urgency of reinforcing availability and security of supply through the proposed industrial reinforcement activities. Proposals shall set out an industrial reinforcement plan supported by a risk-management approach that addresses the identified risks and the measures to ensure availability and security of supply, including risks specific to energetic materials (e.g. process safety, hazardous materials handling, permits, and upstream precursor availability). Activities linked to the physical and cyber protection WP may include expert threat assessment, procurement, installation and initial integration of proportionate solutions as well as efforts to connect to a national or European security system for: (i) counter-UxS site protection measures (detection/alerting and other authorised protective measures), and/or (ii) cyber protection measures of production-relevant networks and systems (including monitoring, hardening and secure access) which includes obtaining the European Union Cybersecurity Certification (EUCC) schemes for products used in the IRA activity, as well as acceptance testing and operational set-up necessary for effective deployment, in order to work towards compliance with the NIS2 Directive, where applicable, and alignment with standards such as ISO/IEC 27001 and IEC 62443. Where implemented, the physical and cyber protection WP shall clearly specify the protected assets, threat assessment for the to be protected sites to support the security measures, interfaces with production continuity and KPIs, explain how these measures reduce risks that could otherwise impact the delivery of the proposal’s core industrial results (e.g., lead-time reduction, throughput/capacity increase, reserved capacity where applicable, and workforce readiness) and present efforts to link the respective site’s security system with a national and/or European security system. Actions shall not have started before 5 March 2024 and shall not have been completed before the signature of the Grant Agreement (GA). The duration and the starting date of the action will be set out in the GA. The action shall have an indicative duration of three to five years; in any event, it shall be completed no later than 31 December 2033. Budget The Commission is considering a total budget of EUR 166 400 000 for the call for proposals. The maximum EU contribution per funded project will not exceed EUR 30 000 000 allowing several proposals to be funded. The Commission is considering supporting specifically any optional work packages dedicated to the reinforcement of the physical and cyber protection of the industrial capacity targeted by the action, with a maximum EU contribution of EUR 500 000 per funded project. Depending on the number and quality of received proposals and the requested Union financial contributions, the Commission may decide to reallocate budget between calls.
