The EDIDP provides €500 million in co-financing over 2019-2020 for the joint industrial development of defence equipment and technologies in all domains (air, land, sea, cyber and space). It is a test phase in view of a more ambitious EU programme in the next EU multi-annual financial framework. The EDIDP will be implemented directly by the European Commission.

What will be addressed?

The Commission will inform you on the EDIDP regulation (highlighting differences compared to the preparatory action on defence research) and the topics covered by the EDIDP 2019 calls. We will also explain participation modalities and access to the participant portal.
