CASCADE CALLS

The RESTART research and development program – funded by the European Union – NextGenerationEU as part of the NRRP – M4C2, Investment 1.3, Call n. 341 of 15.03.2022 of the Ministry of University and Research (MUR) – involves the implementation of Cascade Calls for more than 32.4 million euros to support Fundamental Research, Industrial Research, Experimental Development and Feasibility Studies projects through the provision of appropriate funding.

The aim is to reach public and private entities, outside the RESTART Partnership, that are strongly interested in introducing significant innovations in relation to products, processes or services.

The breadth of these cascading funding actions will enable the involvement of a large group of actors outside the Partnership:

  • Public or private Research Organizations
  • Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises
  • Large Enterprises

Cascade Calls emanated from all the Spokes are published on this page.
