What is Horizon Europe?
With a budget of €95.5 billion Horizon Europe is the EU’s key funding programme for research and innovation. It tackles climate change, helps to achieve the
UN’s Sustainable Development Goals and boosts the EU’s competitiveness and growth. The programme is divided in 3 pillars, I Excellent science, II Global challenges and European industrial leadership and III Innovative Europe. In a nutshell, Pillar I is funding
groundbreaking bottom-up research and researcher mobility, Pillar II funds large consortia solving grand challenges, i.e. top-down research topics, and Pillar III is reserved for innovations.
First Calls under Horizon Europe opened
The European Commission has adopted the main work programme of Horizon Europe for the period 2021-2022, which outlines the objectives and
specific topic areas that will receive a total of €14.7 billion in funding.
To help future applicants better understand the programme and its calls and prepare their proposals, the Commission has published the Horizon
Europe Programme Guide, which includes useful information about many novelties and horizontal aspects of the programme such as International cooperation and association, Gender equality and inclusiveness, Social Science and Humanities (SSH), Social
Innovation, Ethics and integrity, Dissemination and exploitation of research results, Open science and Key Digital Technologies.
Open calls
The first Horizon Europe calls opened 22 June with many of the deadlines in September-October.More information on the open, forthcoming and closed calls is
available on the Funding and Tenders Portal.
