Resilmesh Open Call 2

Summary

Resilmesh aims at addressing major challenges for security teams, namely an increase in digital infrastructure attack surfaces and their complexity and sophistication, combined with a slow adaptation of organisations’ security systems regarding their security architectures, practices and infrastructure. To this end, Resilmesh will help organisations achieve higher levels of security and resilience by providing them with methods and tools to better manage the complexity of their digital infrastructures and services, combat advanced persistent threats.

Detailed Call Description

The Open Call is the competitive process by which eligible applicants apply to have access to the Resilmesh programme. 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. This challenge will address extensions to Resilmesh via the collaboration mesh IRP’s.The collaboration mesh consists of 2 sub-parts:
  • 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.

  1. New Analytic Algorithms and Architectures
  • Zone based  Anomaly detection architectures
  • Novel edge AI AD architectures and algorithms
  • User and Entity Behaviour Analytics

Call Total Budget

€360.000

Financing percentage by EU or other bodies / Level of Subsidy or Loan

The programme will fund 5 proposals, 2 addressing Extension to new domains and systems and 3 New Analytic Algorithms and Architectures, providing a maximum contribution of (up to) €72.000, to be paid in form of lump sums at the end of each stage (25% + 45% + 30%).

The Resilmesh Programme includes 3 stages: Design, Deployment and Evaluation:

  • 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 . 

Each stage has a duration of 3 months running from January until September 2026.

The generic goals of each stage:

  • Design: Plan the technical integration with the Resilmesh Platform, ethical committee approval it needed,
  • Deployment: Complete integration with the Resilmesh Platform, training dataset validation, agreement on IP and licensing model,
  • Evaluation: Full validation of the product
