Tenth project call of Blue Cluster

For cSBR projects, a new procedure is in place whereby it is possible to submit project ideas for basic research once a year. In 2022, the call for cSBR projects coincides with the tenth call.

Preparing a project application

On Friday 10 December, we organise an online info session on the occasion of our tenth project call. Would you like to know (1) what type of project you should choose; (2) what guidance you will receive from Blue Cluster, or (3) how to assess your project results?  Then register for the call 10 info session.

Further information about the modalities of the different project types can be found on our website, in the section “project application”.

We highly recommend you to have one of our innovation managers assess your project beforehand. This way, you are 100% certain that your proposal is admissible.
