Element	2026	2027	2028	Total

Due to the strong level of interest during 2026, funding allocated for the current year is now substantially committed. Any new Element 2 proposals submitted from this point will therefore be held for assessment in January 2027, with supported projects considered against the 2027 budget.

We continue to welcome new proposals and encourage organisations to engage with us and ESA as normal. Confirmation of the Element 2 budget available for 2027 will be provided closer to the new year.
