Kick-start Open Calls have a three-step application process:
Step One: Write your Kick-start Proposal
Use the Cover Letter and Detailed Proposal Template documents, available on esa-star Publication to write your Kick-start Proposal. Do this in parallel with Step Two.
Step Two: Contact your National Delegation
Contact your National Delegation(s) to inform them that you are intending to apply for a Kick-Start and to apply for a Written Authorisation of ESA Funding.
Step Three: Submit your application
Once you have written your proposal and included the Written Authorisation of ESA Funding in your cover letter, you are ready to submit your application via esa-star tendering.
