Horizon Europe Calls#
Horizon Europe -
the next research and innovation framework programme#
Horizon Europe is the EU’s key funding programme for research and innovation with a budget of € 95.5 billion.
It tackles climate change, helps to achieve the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals and boosts the EU’s competitiveness and growth.
The programme facilitates collaboration and strengthens the impact of research and innovation in developing, supporting and implementing EU policies while tackling global challenges. It supports creating and better dispersing of excellent knowledge and technologies.
It creates jobs, fully engages the EU’s talent pool, boosts economic growth, promotes industrial competitiveness and optimises investment impact within a strengthened European Research Area.
Legal entities from the EU and associated countries can participate.
A presentation outlining Horizon Europe can be found here (“Horizon Europe - Investing to shape our future”).
Green Deal Call#
Building a low-carbon, climate resilient future: The Green Deal call#
The Green Deal call will mobilise research and innovation to foster a just and sustainable societal transition aiming at ‘leaving nobody behind’. Projects are expected to deliver tangible and visible results relatively quickly and show how research and innovation can provide concrete solutions for the Green Deal main priorities.
The call will support:
- pilot applications, demonstration projects and innovative products
- innovation for better governance of the green and digital transition
- social and value chain innovation
In addition to technological development and demonstration, the call encourages experimentation and social innovation for new ways to engage civil society and empower citizens.
The call contains a number of thematic areas reflecting the key work streams of the European Green Deal and horizontal areas that cut across the thematic areas and offer a longer-term perspective in achieving the transformations set out in the European Green Deal.
