About EOARD
Established in 1952, the mission of the European Office of Aerospace Research & Development (office symbol: AFRL/AFOSR/IOE) is to discover, shape, and champion fundamental research of profound scientific impact and Air Force relevance.  Located in London, our area of engagement includes Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and former Soviet states.  EOARD provides direct financial support (and support on behalf of other AF and DoD funding agencies) for innovative international science, primarily through research grants.  In addition, we support technical exchanges and visiting scientists to foster collaborations between leading researchers and the Air Force research community.  (Contact a Program Officer or eoard.orgbox@us.af.mil.)
