Submit your project

Blue Cluster’s twenty-first project call launched on 12 January 2026 and remains open until 19 March 2026. This call applies to all domains and project types, except new cSBR projects. Feasibility studies can be submitted on a rolling basis.

You can only submit a project with Blue Cluster via the online form. To do so, you first need to register on our website. This allows you to store your file and continue working on it at a later point in time. 

When preparing your application, you can make use of the working document. The working documents for the different types of projects can be found below. 

We advise you to contact one of the innovation managers when drawing up and submitting the 10-pager! 

Important information

Any submitted projects are always treated confidentially and never shared with third parties. However, to evaluate the relevance and impact of your project idea on the blue economy, your submitted 10-pager will be made available to the Scientific Advisory board (without the Confidentially part) and to the Steering Committee (without the Confidentiality part and the elaborated work packages) of the Blue Cluster. By submitting your 10-pager, the project consortium consent to this.

Disclaimer: when submitting a 10-pager, the consortium needs to take into account that a project is only admissible if it meets the cluster criteria. The consortium accepts the conditions of membership and the innovation fee inherently connected to the project application. The partners involved commit themselves to further developing and implementing the project. In case of late withdrawal from a project, the withdrawing partner shall assume its responsibility towards the consortium.
