Bavaria

Bavarian aviation research and technology funding

Since 1997, the Free State of Bavaria has been promoting aviation research and technology with the aim of strengthening the regional value chain from research institutions to suppliers and system leaders for competition in the aviation market and acquiring additional market share.

There are currently no open calls for funding opportunities in the field of aviation in this programme. However, you are welcome to find out about the latest calls for funding below and contact our staff. We will then inform you as soon as new calls for funding for aeronautics research in Bavaria become available.

With the establishment of a separate budget item for aerospace by the Bavarian State Ministry of Economic Affairs and Media, Energy and Technology (StMWi), location-relevant funding projects can be approved on a case-by-case basis.

Previous calls for funding have focussed on the following areas:

Objective

  • Strengthening the technological performance of Bavarian equipment manufacturers and suppliers
  • Strengthening the competitiveness of Bavarian equipment manufacturers and suppliers
  • Promotion of subsystem capability
  • Strengthening networking and technology transfer between industry and science

Contents

  • Civil aviation research projects

Beneficiaries

  • Companies in the Bavarian aviation industry
  • Bavarian universities
  • Non-university research institutions in Bavaria

Further information on Bavaria as an aerospace location is available from bavAIRia e.V.

Grants are awarded by the government of Upper Bavaria.

The Project Management Agency for Aviation Research is responsible for supporting funding projects applied for up to and including 2020.
