RESILMESH Open Call 2
The Resilmesh project aims to extend the capabilities of the Resilmesh platform by selecting systems actors/innovators (mid-caps, SMEs start-ups, end-users and researchers) that are developing technologies that can extend the capabilities of Resilmesh in the following domains:
1) Extension to new domains and systems (2 projects)
This challenge will address extensions to Resilmesh via the collaboration mesh Incident Response Plan’s. The collaboration mesh consists of two sub-parts:
– A connectivity mesh to describe the interconnection of the systems’ components. This term includes not only the actual network connectivity but also the end-to-end aggregation data processing pipeline. This applies primarily to the two layers shown in the Architecture diagram earlier i.e. the Collaboration Mesh and the Aggregation Plane.
– An interworking mesh based on the use of open protocols, standards and best practices to enable ease of integration and cooperation between security applications/controls including third party tools. In this task we are looking for proposals that will extend the interoperability in the security application layers i.e. Threat Awareness, Situation Assessment and Security Operations- between Resilmesh components and other tools along the lines of the Open XDR Architecture (OXA) principles including the use of ‘Meshroom’ tool.
Proposals should address one of connectivity mesh or interworking mesh.
2) New Analytic Algorithms and Architectures (3 projects)
– Zone based Anomaly detection architectures
– Novel edge AI AD architectures and algorithms
– User and Entity Behaviour Analytics
More details on the specific cyber technologies in the guide for applicants (section 3.2): https://resilmesh.eu/open-call-2-open/
The Resilmesh Programme is organised in 3 stages of 3 months. Sprint 1 from 02/01/2026 to 31/03/2026, Sprint 2 from 01/04/2026 to 30/06/2026, Sprint 3 from 01/07/2026 to 30/09/2026.
During these phases, beneficiaries will have the support of a mentor to support and monitor project progress and facilitate communication with technical partners
The programme will select 5 applications, each addressing one of the challenges/topics defined by RESILMESH providing a maximum contribution of 72.000€, to be paid in form of lump sums at the end of each stage (25% + 45% + 30%).
Solutions are expected to reach TRL7-8 by the end of the programme.
Eligible applicants for the Resilmesh – Open Call 2 are:
● Legal entities or consortium of legal entities, which can be either mid-caps, SMEs or research organisations (RTOs or academia), End-users/Technology Adopters/ Developers/ Integrators.
● In the case of consortium applications, the leading partner will be responsible for the technical developments, the other member will be an end user responsible to validate the technical developments.
● Relevant notes:
o Please consult the EU SME Definition for details on what constitutes an SME.
o A signed version of the Declaration of Honour and the SME Declaration will be requested during the contract preparation phase.
Eligible countries that may receive funding through this Open Call are legal entities from:
● European Union Member States, with a valid VAT and PIC number.
● Horizon Europe associated countries (those that have signed an agreement with the EU as identified in the HE Programme Guide) according to the updated list published by the European Commission.
● As Resilmesh was funded before 01/01/2024 UK entities are not eligible for
funding.
