--- ## Description This open call is part of the ResilMesh project, aimed at advancing situation-aware cyber resilience in dispersed and heterogeneous digital environments. The programme funds projects that develop, integrate, and validate novel solutions for monitoring, intrusion detection, and response in complex digital infrastructures. Selected participants will progress through three sequential stages—Design, Deployment, and Evaluation—each lasting three months. Teams work with mentors, attend required in-person events in Europe, and refine their solutions to achieve technical integration with the Resilmesh Platform, validate using training datasets, and finalize intellectual property and licensing agreements. The ultimate objective is to deliver high-TRL (Technology Readiness Level 7-8) products that enhance cyber resilience. --- ## Due Dates - Application opens: September 2, 2025 - Submission deadline: November 5, 2025, 17:00 (Brussels time) - Project implementation: January–September 2026 --- ## Funding Amount - Total funding available: €360,000 - Funding is distributed across selected projects; each project participates in three consecutive 3-month stages (Design, Deployment, Evaluation). - Funding covers technical integration, validation, and IP/licensing activities. --- ## Eligibility - Open to entities (including research teams, SMEs, startups, and organizations) developing solutions in the field of cyber resilience. - Applicants must be able to attend mandatory in-person events in Europe. - Projects must align with the objectives of the Resilmesh programme and demonstrate the technical capacity to reach TRL 7-8. - Further eligibility criteria and requirements are detailed in the [official call page](https://ec.europa.eu/info/funding-tenders/opportunities/portal/screen/opportunities/competitive-calls-cs/11669?isExactMatch=true&status=31094501,31094502&order=DESC&pageNumber=2&pageSize=50&sortBy=startDate). --- ## Application Process - Applications must be submitted via the [F6S platform](https://www.f6s.com/resilmesh-open-call-2/apply). - The process includes: - Initial eligibility check - Expert evaluation (reviewed by at least two domain experts) - Ranking and selection based on alignment, concept/technology, and implementation criteria - Online interview for top-ranked applicants - Applicants must participate in all required mentoring and reporting activities, and attend in-person events as specified. --- ## Additional Information - The programme is structured into three stages: - **Design (3 months):** Plan technical integration and, if needed, obtain ethical approvals. - **Deployment (3 months):** Complete integration and validate with datasets; agree on IP/licensing. - **Evaluation (3 months):** Full validation of the product and finalization of IP/licensing. - Mandatory attendance at physical events in Europe is required; failure to attend results in disqualification. - The programme aims to deliver validated, deployable cyber resilience solutions. --- ## External Links - [Official call page (EU Funding & Tenders Portal)](https://ec.europa.eu/info/funding-tenders/opportunities/portal/screen/opportunities/competitive-calls-cs/11669?isExactMatch=true&status=31094501,31094502&order=DESC&pageNumber=2&pageSize=50&sortBy=startDate) - [Project website](https://www.resilmesh.eu/open-call-2/) - [Application form (F6S platform)](https://www.f6s.com/resilmesh-open-call-2/apply) - [Online Q&A / Discussion](https://www.f6s.com/resilmesh-open-call-2/discuss) --- ## Contact Information | Purpose | Contact | |--------------------------|----------------------------------------------| | General inquiries | resilmesh@f6s.com | | Submission/platform help | support@f6s.com | | European Commission | [Contact form](https://commission.europa.eu/about-european-commission/contact_en) | ---
