France–Australia Space Collaboration Workshop: Exploring Horizon Europe Opportunities

As Australia prepares to participate in Pillar II of Horizon Europe from 2027, new opportunities are emerging for collaboration between Australian and European organisations across research, innovation and the space sector.

Join the France–Australia Space Collaboration Workshop, bringing together representatives from industry, government, research institutions and space agencies to explore Horizon Europe funding opportunities and develop practical partnerships between the French and Australian space ecosystems.

Unlike a traditional information webinar, this interactive workshop is designed to move from funding opportunities to practical collaboration, helping participants identify relevant Horizon Europe calls, connect with potential consortium partners and explore ideas for future joint projects.
