LuxIMPULSE projects

How to get funding?

LuxIMPULSE, managed by LSA and implemented by ESA, allows Luxembourg to benefit not only from all the technical expertise of the European Space Agency, but also experience in the administrative and contractual management of space projects. This program is entirely dedicated to R&D activities.

Before submitting a proposal to ESA in the LuxIMPULSE programme, it is mandatory to get in touch with the Luxembourg Space Agency and do the following:

• fill out the PSRF and the preliminary proposal forms to be requested at the Luxembourg Space Agency;
• submit the PSRF and the preliminary proposal together to the Luxembourg Space Agency for review;
• receive comments / validation from the Luxembourg Space Agency.

After approval by the Luxembourg Space Agency, the applicants:

• will receive from ESA LuxIMPULSE Programme Manager a Request for Quotation including a Statement of Work and a draft contract;
• must submit the final proposal toESA and send it to the Luxembourg Space Agency.

ESA's selection procedures are compliant with the criteria of transparency, impartiality and non-discrimination. ESA evaluates project proposals and provides the participants with feedback. Once the proposal is accepted (after a negotiation meeting), a contract is signed between ESA and the participant.
