The Open Calls Network

The Netherlands Space Office together with Groundstation.SPACE launched the Open Calls Network! As part of this network, we are organising a series of webinars, as well as a dedicated LinkedIn page.

By joining the Open Calls Network you will receive invitations to webinars and project updates. In addition, you will have opportunities to present your work in our webinars, as an expert speaker on the topics of the events or in one-minute pitch slots, where you can present your organisation or project. The aim of the network is to help you find fitting funding opportunities and consortium partners for writing proposals for Horizon Europe and other funding opportunities.

Be Open To Opportunities

The Open Calls Network is an initiative of the Netherlands Space Office, in collaboration with dotSPACE. It aims at increasing awareness of funding opportunities for Dutch and European space (data) organisations.

As part of the network, we will present pre-selected Horizon Europe and other funding calls that are relevant for space and space data applications. We will present these calls at our webinars, each of which will be dedicated to a specific topic (like Climate Neutral and Smart Cities, Safety and Defence, Adaptation to Climate Change, etc.)

In addition to presenting these open calls, we invite industry experts from the Netherlands to discuss specific requirements and examples of successful Horizon projects.

In our webinars, you will have the opportunity to:

• Present your organisation or project in a one-minute pitch
• Learn about the best open funding calls for your organisation
• Meet potential consortium partners.

The webinars will be held in the summer and autumn of 2022. To not miss the announcements of each webinar and follow the news of the network, please subscribe to the Open Calls Network newsletter:
