Program Objective
The main objective of the Booster Call is to foster co-creation of solutions addressing Europe’s evolving security landscape by strengthening collaboration among researchers, policymakers, civil society organizations, and citizens.
Supported projects are expected to offer responsible, transparent, and socially cohesive approaches to security challenges arising in the context of geopolitical tensions, rapid technological transformation, and societal changes, within the framework of ORRI principles.
Who can apply?
Applications are open to;
- Legal entities established in EU Member States or Horizon Europe Associated Countries (including Turkey),

Although the call is particularly directed towards organizations with experience in ORRI practices, it is also open to organizations applying for the first time in this field (newcomers). In case of equal merit, applications with ORRI experience will be given priority.
