LuxAid BRIDGES

Through the funding of research projects in partnership with researchers in developing countries and even organisations active in the international cooperation ecosystem, the LuxAid BRIDGES project aims to further support the development of research capacities and to pool scientific results in favour of the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals in the field of development cooperation and humanitarian action.

LuxAid BRIDGES reflects the shared objective of the Directorate for Development Cooperation and Humanitarian Affairs and the National Research Fund to support research and development projects in thematic areas related to development cooperation and humanitarian action, through annual calls for proposals mobilising 2 MEUR of funding per year.

Implemented jointly with LuxDev, LuxAid BRIDGES is organised in two phases, the first of which consists of a preliminary call known as “SEEDLING”. The projects selected during this pre-call are able to benefit from a maximum grant of EUR 20,000 to carry out a three-month feasibility study. The second phase consists in the launch of the main call for proposals under LuxAid BRIDGES, which will take place at the end of 2023.
