The Clean Aviation Joint Undertaking is the European Union’s leading research and innovation programme for transforming aviation towards a sustainable and climate-neutral future. It is a European public-private partnership.

Clean Aviation is launching its Third Call for Proposals, calling for innovators and stakeholders across the aviation sector to contribute with disruptive projects to accelerate the decarbonisation of aviation. 

With up to €380 million in EU funding, corresponding to a total research effort of €950* million including the additional private investments that will be triggered under the call—this Third Call seeks proposals to integrate and demonstrate the most promising technologies on the aircraft concept models identified in its Strategic Research & Innovation Agenda (SRIA).

* With inclusion of in-kind contribution from entities participating in projects.

The Calls are all backed up by EU funding and focus on:

  • Ultra-efficient Short-Medium Range (SMR) aircraft architectures: € 205 million
  • Ultra-efficient Regional (REG) aircraft architectures: € 145 million
  • Aircraft Concept Integration & Impact Assessment (ACI&I): € 15 million
  • Fast-Track Activities (FTAs):  € 15 million

A major new feature in this call is the Fast Track Activities (FTAs) initiative designed to:

  • Simplify the application process and aim at a faster time-to-grant with respect to standard Call 3 topics
  • Support innovation and broaden contributions to the Clean Aviation Programme,
  • Encourage proposals and projects coordinated by start-ups, SMEs, Universities and Research Organisations
  • De-risk alternative or complementary technical solutions while enabling industrial end-user support to foster exploitation

Clean Aviation will be defining its 4th Call for proposal in close cooperation with its public and private members in the course of 2025.

EITHOS - European Identity Theft Observatory System

The EITHOS project, funded under Horizon Europe Cluster 3 call “Online identity theft is countered”, aims to develop a “European Identity Theft Observatory System” (EITHOS). The system will provide easy access to information and intelligence about previous and current identity theft related trends to empower EU citizens, Law Enforcements Agencies (LEAs), and policy makers to further contribute to the prevention, detection, and investigation of crimes related to online identity theft. The Cyber and Data Security Lab (CDSL), part of the Law, Science, Technology and Society (LSTS) Research Group at Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB), is one of the 12 partners in the EITHOS consortium, contributing its vast expertise on legal aspects of data protection, cybersecurity and information security law and policy.
