Status History

2026-07-09 GATED → HUMAN_REQUIRED · Two sequential human actions are required before any application work begins. Action 1 (immediate gate): Apply to enroll in the EDITH consortium — this is the primary key that unlocks the Headstart instrument. Identify the EDITH enrollment window and submit the consortium application. Action 2 (concurrent or following): Register an Austrian Einzelunternehmen (sole proprietorship). This can be done remotely via an Austrian business formation service or legal agent without requiring physical residence; a registered Austrian address is needed. Target both actions in parallel to reach the Month 4–5 post-enrollment application window by Q1–Q2 2027. Only after both are confirmed should application materials be assembled for the Headstart portal submission.
