A New Opportunity to Drive Next-Generation Communications!
The CELTIC-NEXT Spring Call 2025 is on the horizon, presenting its bi-annual opportunity for organizations to contribute to ground breaking projects in next-generation communications and help build a more sustainable digital society. The Spring Call 2025 will officially open soon, with a proposal deadline set for 25th of April 2025. Selected proposals will receive notifications by June 2025, marking the beginning of a transformative journey in digital innovation.
CELTIC-NEXT bottom-up Calls foster innovation through collaboration by enabling research and development projects with national public funding opportunities across a vast network of partners, including large industries, SMEs, start-ups, research institutions, and academia. With a proposal success rate of around 50-60%, CELTIC-NEXT creates a supportive environment to accelerate impactful digital technologies for the future.
Upcoming Events for the 2025 Spring Call
As in previous years, CELTIC-NEXT will organize events to support organizations in developing innovative proposals and forming international partnerships. Two main events, online and in-person will be organised to maximize the chance to meet potential consortium partners, learn about funding opportunities, and get insights on topics of interest: a Launch Event and a Proposers’ Brokerage Day.
These events are ideal for networking, connecting with Public Authorities, and receiving guidance on using the Proposal Portal and Brokerage Tool.
Attending these events provides a unique window into the CELTIC ecosystem, allowing you to discuss ideas with Public Authorities, the Group of Experts, and established partners in the field.
