Digital ECCC Deploy Cyber Largeoper — CIPHER Open Call 1

Open

Applications close on 6 Jan 2027 (EU calls usually close at 17:00 Brussels time).

Who can apply

Proposals must be submitted electronically through the F6S platform prior to January 6, 2027 (17:00 CET). The CIPHER Consortium executes an administrative eligibility check and a binary technical scope screening before remote evaluation by independent experts. Candidates receive scoring across Excellence, Relevance, Impact, and Implementation. Top applicants finish interviews, complete KYC checks, and sign Sub-grant Agreements for the 9-month programme.

Applicant categories are a starting point. The official call decides eligibility.

Timing

Next deadline 2027-01-06. Check the call page for the exact time.

How to apply

1. This is an open call run by an EU-funded project, not an EU Funding & Tenders Portal topic: you apply to the project, usually on its own platform. A PIC or Part A/Part B forms are not needed unless the call says so.
2. Open the call page (link below) for the project’s application platform; the route is not stated in the summary.
3. Read the call guidelines for who can apply, eligible countries and the support per applicant (financial support to third parties is often a lump sum or capped amount).
4. Submit before the deadline shown above; check the call page for the exact time zone.
