The document discusses opportunities for research and development funding related to European GNSS programs in Horizon 2020. It provides an overview of the GNSS R&D activities of the European GNSS Agency and the results achieved through the FP7 program. It then outlines the structure and opportunities of the H2020 framework, including the first call on GNSS applications which received over 100 proposals. Details are given on the three topics of the second call scheduled for November 2014 relating to EGNSS applications, SME applications, and international cooperation. Requirements outlined include a preliminary business plan and focus on developing end-to-end applications.
