Teams Since a couple of years, there has been a significant development in European Union Defence business. This was concretized particularly by the creation of the European Defence Agency and more recently and more unexpected with the launch of the European Defence Fund aiming at using the Union budget to fund Defence projects.
In order to take benefit of these new initiatives for the Luxembourg enterprises, Luxinnovation proposes a training session reminding the background of this evolution and a focus on the calls for proposals of the European Defence Fund (EDF) 2021 (first year of the Multiannual Financial Framework 2021-2027). The training session shall also serve as a preparation to the EDF Info – and Networking on the 15th-17th of September.
The online training session will take place on the 6th of September at 10h. Registration can be done here.
