The Next Generation Internet initiative has supported Free Software projects with funding and technical assistance since 2018. Despite its proven success, the European Commission made the decision to cut this funding in the current draft for the Horizon Europe 2025 Work Programme.
Ouf, that’s a rough blow!
Yea. One of my project is funded through ngi currently 😭

Did you just apply for it?
No we’re already accepted, but I would have liked to renew it eventually.

Yes you have to apply for it and it’s a long process afterwards with multiple stages. Go check https://nlnet.nl and they explain it.
