The forthcoming activities under the BRICS Science, Technology and Innovation Framework Programme are outlined below:
A research call for collaborative scientific projects will be announced, with the exact proposal submission deadline to be specified in the last quarter of 2025.
A dedicated call for innovative projects will be launched, with the precise submission deadline expected to be announced in mid-2025. The innovation component previously accounted for a smaller share of approved projects; therefore, a special mechanism has been introduced to strengthen this area.
BRICS flagship projects are currently under review, and further details regarding thematic areas, consortium structures, and implementation timelines will be announced soon.
Stakeholders—including universities, research centers, and technology-based companies—are advised to closely follow official programme announcements in order to remain informed about precise timelines, requirements, and participation opportunities.
