This document summarizes a webinar for a call for proposals to support adoption of EGNOS, Europe's satellite navigation system, in aviation. It outlines the objectives to award grants totaling €10 million to foster EGNOS implementation. The call is seeking proposals in six areas, including developing approach procedures and retrofitting aircraft with EGNOS avionics. Eligible applicants are from EU and EFTA countries. Proposals will be evaluated on relevance, impact, and work plan coherence and awarded funding of up to 60% of costs.
