Globalstars call updated to Japan
The call listing changed from Globalstars call with Taiwan 2026 to Globalstars call with Japan, with the visible dates moving to 14 October 2025 for opening and 21 January 2026 for the submission deadline. The call scope also shifted to a different set of participating countries and regions, with revised eligibility language, project duration of 12 to 36 months, and new national funding details across the call page. The Australia section was replaced by updated country-specific guidance for Japan call participants, including Austria, Belgium (Flanders), Canada, and other listed partners, along with changed funding limits and application steps where visible. The application process and national submission requirements now reference different national deadlines and portal instructions than the prior Taiwan call page.
