Project CALIPSO among selected projects of the European Defence Fund 2023
- Details

CALIPSO project is among 54 selected projects of the European Defence Fund (EDF) for 2023, which support the technological excellence of European defence capabilities in critical areas. TECES is included in the project as a member of a consortium of 34 partners from 14 EU member states and Norway.
The »CALIPSO - Innovative propulsion solutions for land and naval defence applications« project lays the foundations for the effective implementation of sustainable propulsion solutions based on alternative fuels in land and naval defence applications.
The fundamental objective of the CALIPSO project is to reduce emissions and meet the EU's sustainability goals. In achieving these goals, the experiences and competencies of TECES and partners within the SiEnE partnership in greening defence play a crucial role.
The CALIPSO project opens up opportunities for collaboration among SiEnE partners.
The fundamental objective of the CALIPSO project is to reduce emissions and meet the EU's sustainability goals. The project provides guidelines and plans for systematically addressing technical challenges as well as challenges in other areas such as training, standardisation, safety, supply chain, and logistics. In achieving these goals, the experiences and competencies that TECES has gained in promoting dual-use innovation and greening defence as the coordinator of »INDY - Energy Independent and Efficient Deployable Military Camps« project and through the activities of the Slovenian Partnership for Energy and Environment in Defence (SiEnE) play a crucial role.The CALIPSO project thus represents a significant opportunity for all Slovenian stakeholders operating under the SiEnE partnership, enabling their integration into international defence value chains.
