Extraordinarily positive echo for Open Call 1!

24 September 2025 | Leuven, Belgium

The first AID4SME review project meeting took place in Leuven on 24 September 2025.

After the project officer and the two reviewers gained detailed insights into the structure and implementation process of the AID4SME community of practice, the very positive response from SMEs across Europe to OPEN Cal 1 was proudly presented. The more than 250 applicants received demonstrated the importance of the industry challenges which the AID4SME projects will focus on solving in the coming months.

The reviewers’ positive feedback on this success and on the many other activities already carried out provided additional motivation for the next steps, which were also agreed upon by the consortium at this meeting.
