1 MIN READ
NATO has officially launched its Chief Scientist Grants Programme, dedicated to fostering excellence in science and technology research. In total, 500,000 euros will support research projects focused on advancing science and contributing to global security. Researchers from NATO member countries are invited to apply, with grants ranging from 25,000 euros to 100,000 euros. These will support projects in areas such as deterrence and defence; diversity in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) fields; emerging and disruptive technologies; as well as Science and Technology (S&T) resilience and foresight.

What: Applicants must submit an application form including a proposal related to one of the listed focus areas. Qualifying projects will need to be completed by end 2025.
