Exploratory Research Call

Basic Information

The SESAR Joint Undertaking (SESAR JU) has announced two open calls under its Digital European Sky (DES) research and innovation programme, within the framework of Horizon Europe. With a combined budget of EUR 254 million, these calls mark the first steps in executing the new European ATM Master Plan, the comprehensive roadmap for transforming air traffic management (ATM) in Europe, published in December 2024. This effort reflects Europe’s vision of becoming the most efficient and environmentally friendly sky to fly in the world. The call topics for both calls are part of the research and innovation priorities outlined in the SESAR JU’s Multi-annual work programme and in the more recently amended 2024-2025 Bi-annual work programme. They cover a wide range of areas that are needed to deliver the Digital European Sky, according to the timeframe of the European ATM Master Plan.
