Webinar on funding for the space sector: EDF and DIANA

26 November - 16:00 - 16:45

Defence and security are becoming increasingly important for the space sector, and with them the funding opportunities in that field. On Thursday 26 November 2026, the Netherlands Space Agency (NLSA), in collaboration with RVO, is organising an online information session on two programmes: the European Defence Fund (EDF) and the NATO DIANA programme. The webinar will last 45 minutes and participation is free of charge.

External event
Online

This webinar is part of a series of short online sessions in which the NLSA explains various funding routes for the space sector. This time, the focus is on two international programmes. The EDF provides grants to European consortia for research and development in the field of defence. DIANA supports SMEs in developing dual-use technology for defence and security issues, with space being one of the focus areas.

For whom

The webinar will be of interest to companies in the space sector that develop technology with applications in defence and security. This includes SMEs with dual-use technology, as well as companies wishing to form a consortium with European partners for defence research and development.

Programme

Martijn Lammers from RVO explains both programmes: what they involve, who they are aimed at and how space companies can make use of them.
