Horizon Europe Funding calls for Pillar II (collaborative/ consortium projects) 2026 Info events

Research and project services offers a series of info events on the upcoming 2026 spring calls of Horizon Europe’s Pillar II. Pillar II funds top-down Research and Innovation activities of large consortia. Pillar II consists of six thematic clusters, out of which 4 will have deadlines in spring. We organise 4 info sessions for each cluster separately. The sessions will be recorded and added to our Teams workspace for Horizon Europe Consortium projects: General | Horizon Europe Consortium project (Pillar II) support | Microsoft Teamshttps://teams.microsoft.com/l/team/19%3AJj7FmV9Iu9QWh4O1Vurc1-MBP4i9DrnpWfw_vWkVN-k1%40thread.tacv2/conversations?groupId=11ded95b-f7b2-4558-83e8-66dd342f4e45&tenantId=9f9ce49a-5101-4aa3-8c75-0d5935ad6525
