Co-funding worth some 5 million euros from the European Structural and Investment Funds (ESIF) has been allocated to a European Defence Agency-supported research project aimed at developing protective clothing for Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD). Proposed by the Romanian Ministry of Defence, the ‘Active Protection Costume EOD’ project benefited from EDA’s dedicated expertise in its successful ESIF application.
