This is part of a larger effort by the European Commission to support a "next-generation internet": https://www.ngi.eu/get-funded/ https://www.ngi.eu/get-funded/ Depending on the success, it will be extended in the next 10-year period "Horizon Europe" starting 2021: https://ec.europa.eu/info/horizon-europe-next-research-and-innovation-framework-programme_en https://ec.europa.eu/info/horizon-europe-next-research-and-i... From the spectrum of activities, I consider NLnet's small grants programs to be the most useful: https://nlnet.nl/PET/ https://nlnet.nl/PET/ https://nlnet.nl/discovery/ https://nlnet.nl/discovery/ List of projects that have received up to 50k€ per proposed activity: https://nlnet.nl/thema/NGIZeroPET.html https://nlnet.nl/thema/NGIZeroPET.html https://nlnet.nl/thema/NGIZeroDiscovery.html https://nlnet.nl/thema/NGIZeroDiscovery.html The "project" itself does not have to be "based in Europe" (since open source projects are not 'based' anywhere); the person/entity receiving financial support should be.
