Cypriot researchers have had some success in the European Union's Horizon 2020 research program in the area of SPACE. In 2014 and 2015, Cypriot researchers submitted 22 proposals related to the GALILEO, EO, and COMPET calls. 5 of these proposals were successful, with Cypriot organizations receiving over 1.1 million Euros in funding. The number of proposals and funded projects increased from 2014 to 2015. While Cyprus submitted fewer proposals in 2015, there were more Cypriot applicants involved in collaborative proposals. The presentation aims to provide information on opportunities for Cypriot researchers in Horizon 2020 SPACE calls going forward.
