Satellite-based navigation and timing services are a cornerstone of Europe’s economy and critical infrastructure resilience. Positioning, Navigation and Timing (PNT) functions, delivered principally by Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) such as the EU owned Galileo, underpin sectors ranging from transport and finance to energy and telecommunications. Several studies attribute roughly 10 % of EU GDP to PNT related activities, while a single day without GNSS could have a financial impact up to €1 billion. The Commission proposal for the European Competitiveness Fund (ECF), includes for the 2028‑2034 Multi‑annual Financial Framework, a contribution to complementary PNT services, which shall increase the resilience in case of disruptions to the services provided by the PNT component (Article 59). The project shall assess how best can the Commission contribute to complementary PNT services in the next MFF. Leveraging existing national and pan‑European infrastructure, the Commission would like to assess: • How to best strengthen with the resilience of PNT services to radio frequency interference (RFI) affecting GNSS services throughout the EU. • How to best contribute to the deployment of a mature, interoperable C T architecture that is ready for operational use within the multi financial framework 2028 2034. • How to best support candidates for a C-PN service, that utilise the C-T infrastructure and are resilient to RFI and to assess whether the technology is ready for deployment or, if not what is required.

It aims to: • assess how the defence sector can contribute to EU climate goals (mitigation, resilience, nature restoration and dual-use clean technologies), • examine how climate policies can contribute to and impact on defence capabilities and readiness, the defence industry, build public resilience against hybrid threats, and budgetary priorities. The study is intended to provide evidence for aligning rearmament and defence readiness with EU climate neutrality and resilience objectives and aligning the design of climate policies with defence needs.Upgrading and expansion of the existing navigation simulators

European Commission, DG GROW - Internal Market, Industry, Entrepreneurship and SMEsBrusselsDeadline: Aug 20The HAB-Hub Pilot project (PP33) aims to assess, improve and scale-up existing Earth Observation (EO) data, services and methodologies to detect in near-real-time (NRT) harmful algal bloom (HAB) events in European waters. The project will evaluate at a pan European scale the performance of methods and products already applied in existing operational EU services as well as phytoplankton bloom monitoring systems worldwide. The assessment will be carried out in retrospective mode, testing the capacity of alternative systems of successfully detecting and documenting past bloom events. The best performing system should then be evaluated during a NRT 6-month experiment. The purpose of this forthcoming contract is to provide the EO data needed for the assessment in retrospective mode, to develop a web-based platform (or dashboard) that will host the NRT experiment and will display and disseminate its results, and to run the NRT experiment with the appropriate data.EEA/CCE/TC/26/010 - Topic Centre on Climate Risk and Resilience: Knowledge Development
European Environment Agency (EEA)CopenhagenDeadline: Sep 17To drive progress towards a climate resilience Europe, the EEA will continue providing essential data, information and policy-relevant insights that inform the design and implementation of adaptation measures, risk management strategies and societal preparedness efforts. A key priority is to track and assess progress on EU's climate resilience. Knowledge exchange will support EU Member States in preparing national climate risk assessments and adaptation policies. The EEA will also play a role in the implementation of potential outcomes for the foreseen European Integrated Framework for Climate Resilience. With a focus on resilience indicators, sectoral progress and broader economic and societal resilience, the EEA aims to develop relevant and actionable knowledge products for Europe. The focus of this new Topic Centre will be predominantly on the knowledge and networking services. However, tasks under these services will also cover some data services and will build on work conducted under the Topic Centre on Climate and Resilience: Reporting, Tools and Online Knowledge support.
