Joint Call 2024 and support documents updated
The Joint Call 2024 support page now says the call is closed for applications, and the submission link has changed to a login portal. The old support email/link set is no longer shown, while the call module and eligibility summary remain visible. The broader Technology Funding page still shows the same overall program framing, but the Joint Call 2024 materials now emphasize updated process routing and current call references rather than open submission details. A related FAQ document still shows the same deadline of Thursday, December 14, 2023 at 5 PM Mountain Daylight Time (UTC-6h), with no visible change to its content beyond heading formatting.
