Funding – 2023

The 2023 Call for Proposals ASTRID Maturation – Specific support for Defence projects and innovation : Maturation and valorisation

The French National Research Agency (ANR), in partnership with the French Defence Innovation Agency (AID), is launching the 2023 call for proposals ASTRID Maturation – Specific support for defence projects and innovation: Maturation and valorisation. The program is entirely funded by the AID and is implemented by ANR.

ASTRID Maturation is dedicated to supporting follow-up research works of projects that have received a grant from the French Ministry of Armed Forces. This program is of a dual use nature: applications must serve both civilian and military purposes.

The ASTRID-Maturation program aims to:

anticipate technology demonstrations and pre-industrial work following up on dual-use scientific innovation,
boost result’s attractiveness with regard to industry and investors.

The program, at the border between upstream and technological-research, is complementary to RAPID and DGA upstream studies programmes (as far as military applications are concerned) as well as other civilian supporting programmes.
