The NATO Science for Peace and Security (SPS) Programme promotes dialogue and practical cooperation between Allies and NATO partners based on scientific research, technological innovation and knowledge exchange. The Programme aims to strengthen the Alliance to meet the challenges of today and tomorrow, and it is pleased to announce a new call for research proposals.
The SPS Programme offers funding, expert advice and support to tailor-made, civil security-relevant activities that respond to the SPS Key Priorities. Participation in the Programme enables experts, academia and scientists to develop innovative solutions, achieve scientific breakthroughs and build partnerships with their peers in Allied and partner countries.
In light of the changed security environment and the SPS Programme’s ability to foster timely and impactful technological innovation to address security challenges, the Programme has experienced a significant increase in visibility. In 2024, two calls for proposals received 300 submissions – the highest number for one calendar year in the Programme’s history.
The new call for research proposals is open until 6 July 2025.
The modalities and all information for the call and the application process can be found here.
The NATO SPS Programme has contributed to scientific excellence for more than 60 years, and has supported thousands of scientists, including Nobel laureates. Collaborating through the SPS Programme is a highly rewarding experience, which fosters scientific research, builds bridges between innovation networks in NATO member and partner countries, and contributes to a safer and more secure world.
