How do you participate in Horizon Europe’s call for projects?

The European Union provides funding programmes to support and encourage European research, known as “Framework Programmes for Research and Technological Development”. After its “Horizon 2020” programme, the European Commission continued its launch with “Horizon Europe”, the 9th framework programme to enable funding for multiple research projects until 2027. Could yours be one of them?

In order to maximise your chances, NCP gives you the keys, from mid-February to the end of 2021, by means of ten workshops on how to best respond to these future calls for projects!

New funding for research and innovation

Horizon Europe is the new European Framework Programme for Research and Innovation which embodies the European Union’s desire to stand out in a context of strong international competition. Therefore, to provide greater visibility for leading edge research and innovation and to attract the best European talent, it is implementing a competitive funding programme.

By the end of April, the first calls for projects under this 9^th framework programme will be published. They will detail the rules for participation, funding opportunities and expectations of the European Commission. But, while the budget for this new framework programme is substantial (95.5 billion euros), the level of requirements is all the more so. It is therefore essential to keep yourselves informed and to prepare as well as possible to be able to respond to them.

Enhance your application with the help of our experts

Every second Thursday of the month, starting on 11 February, find our specialists online (for as long as the situation requires us to be), from 10:00 to 11:30. In addition to the NCP team, depending on the subject being discussed, you can speak to programme participants, as well as experts or evaluators from the European Commission.
