The AI platform for winning EU funding
European programmes move billions, but they are competitive and demand a solid technical proposal. Most organisations do not apply for lack of time or writing experience — not for lack of a project.
Captaru brings together thousands of calls —European, national and regional— and an AI assistant that tells you which ones fit your project and helps you write the proposal. You sign up for free and prepare your first two projects at no cost.
Programmes we cover: Horizon Europe and more
We work across the EU's main direct funding lines, each with its own rules and deadlines.
Erasmus+
Education, youth and sport: cooperation partnerships and mobility.
LIFE
Environment and climate: circular economy, nature and the energy transition.
CERV
Citizens, equality, rights and values: the key programme for the third sector.
Creative Europe
Culture and the audiovisual sector: European cooperation and circulation of works.

Enhancing Cybersecurity for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) designated as Important Entities Falling Within the Scope of the NIS2 Directive
European Union · EU
Cascade funding (FSTP – Financial Support to Third Parties). The “NCC-CY - NIS2” Program aims to ensure a baseline level of cybersecurity for a number of important entities covered by the NIS2 Directive, with the goal of protecting their infrastructure, systems, and information through the procurement of relevant cybersecurity solutions and services. The NIS2 Directive (EU 2022/ 2555), which entered into force on October 18, 2024, constitutes the updated pan-European framework for cybersecurity, aimed at strengthening digital security in critical sectors of economic and social activity. It expands upon the original NIS Directive by imposing stricter security measures, mandatory incident reporting, and severe penalties for noncompliance across a broader range of “essential” and “important” entities. The Program aims to obtain a verification certificate from the Digital Security Authority (DSA) for Beneficiaries regarding their compliance with the cybersecurity measures of the Belgian CyberFundamentals (CYFUN) framework, at the Basic level, as of the 2025 edition (for more information, click HERE). These measures will be adopted by the Digital Security Authority (DSA) and will form part of the beneficiary entities’ compliance with the requirements under national legislation transposing the NIS2 Directive.Through this program, small and medium-sized enterprises are given the opportunity to obtain a verification certificate from DSA for the implementation of the relevant measures. Verification audits will be conducted by Cybersecurity Maturity Auditors from the relevant registry managed by the Cyprus Organization for Standardization (CYS). For more information, click HERE.

The scope of the I3FLOAT 1st Open Call is to fund SMEs with proposed innovations in the field of Floating Offshore Wind and proposing a technological solution to one of the challenges posed by the I3FLOAT project. The support scheme aims to fund projects that are relatively close to commercialisation. The expected current TRLs for projects funded under the support scheme are TRL 6-8.Applicants to the 1st Open Call should propose a project that is in line with the different challenges the I3FLOAT project has identified. These challenges can be Open Challenges, which means solutions that are aligned with any of the innovation lines prioritised in the Strategic Innovation Agenda, or Specific Challenges, more concrete and defined by a Challenge Owner.Open Challenges refers to innovations that are aligned with the 44 prioritised innovation lines identified in the Floating Wind Strategic Innovation Agenda in areas such as Floating substructures, mooring systems and dynamic cables; Electrical infrastructure and grid connection; Wind turbine, tower or alternative supporting structures and FOW-specific control; Industrialisation; Logistics and offshore installation; Operation, Maintenance and Decommissioning. Further detail is available in the Annex 1 of the Submission Toolkit.Specific Challenges are related to specific sectoral needs proposed by so-called Challenge Owners. Examples would be the challenge "Single-pass welding outside for local FOWT serial assembly" proposed by I3FLOAT partner Eolink or "Logistic optimization on the transport of offshore wind structures" proposed by I3 Board member Navantia Seanergies. The list of the 11 Specific Challenges is available in Annex 2 of the Submission Toolkit.

Frequently asked questions
Do European funds have to be repaid?
Non-repayable grants are not returned if the project is carried out and reported according to the rules. Loans and financial instruments are a different matter and are repaid; in the assessment we clarify what kind of aid each call is.
Do I need a consortium with partners from other countries?
It depends on the programme. Many Horizon Europe lines require an international consortium; others allow a single beneficiary. We find and coordinate the partners when needed.
How long does the process take?
Several months usually pass between the call and the decision. That is why we start with the assessment: to target the right call with time to spare and not arrive late.
Do you only work with large organisations?
No. We also support small and medium-sized organisations; many programmes are designed precisely for the third sector and SMEs.
Do you have a project for Europe?
Sign up for free and let the AI assistant tell you which European calls fit. Your first two projects, at no cost.
