Zagreb, Croatia - Following the very successful first call under the European Space Agency (ESA) tender, on Thursday 9 September 2021, an information day of the second national call for project proposals was held.
The information day was held in the premises of Zagreb Innovation Centre (ZICER) with the aim of acquainting Croatian stakeholders, primarily scientists and entrepreneurs, with the conditions, rules and possibilities of applying for the tender within the ESA.
The second call implies the continuation of cooperation between the Republic of Croatia and the European Space Agency and represents a step towards Croatia's accession to ESA.
