This funding call, part of the SPACE 2025 program, aims to foster EU-Japan collaboration in quantum space gravimetry (QSG). The call focuses on preparing the scientific community to exploit QSG mission data, develop innovative algorithms, and identify Earth science applications that benefit from advanced quantum sensing technologies. By leveraging such data, the program seeks to enhance the EU space policy, contribute to the EU Green Deal, and promote international cooperation in quantum sensing. Proposals should prioritize Copernicus and/or Galileo/EGNOS services when utilizing satellite-based Earth observation or positioning data. Only one project will be selected under this call, which expects a Technology Readiness Level (TRL) of 3 by the project’s end. The maximum EU contribution is 0.50 million euros, with Japanese participants expected to fund activities at the same level as their EU counterparts.

Opening: 03 Jun 2025
