A further €6.5 million will be used for several calls for a tender that will be published early 2011. Acting under powers delegated by the European Commission, the GSA will be responsible for managing about 75% of the total available budget.

This is the last call launched for satellite navigation research by the EU’s Seventh Framework Programme on research and technological development (FP7). The previous two calls for proposals led to the funding of 55 projects with a total EU contribution of €47 million.
