The European Commission, Directorate-General for Education, Youth, Sport and Culture (DG EAC) has shared communication material designed to help more businesses discover how they can improve their research and innovation capabilities through the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA). It is available both as a webpage and as downloadable files for both print and web use (a guide, slides and visuals). The MSCA Guide for Businesses is designed to explain, in simple terms, why companies should engage with MSCA and the different ways they can get involved. The material refers to two testimonies from companies that were involved in MSCA-funded Staff Exchanges projects: Remarkable - Rural Environmental Monitoring via ultra wide-ARea networKs And distriButed federated Learning with Portuguese IT company PDMFC. For more information visit the projects’ website and Cordis page PEPSA-MATE - Nanopeptides and Nanosaccharides for Advanced and Sustainable Materials with Italian company Nanofaber.

AENAON, a Digital Europe-funded project, has opened the first of two cascade funding calls. Open Call 1 focuses on the initial validation, integration, and testing of AENAON technologies and services in realistic offshore wind and related critical-infrastructure environments.

The call is open to single applicants or small consortia combining complementary expertise, where this strengthens the proposed use case and contributes to the objectives of the AENAON project. Detailed information on the call objectives and scope, the procedure and selection criteria can be found on the dedicated website of the AENAON project.

This consultation assesses the impact of and explores the future framework for treaty-based partnerships, also known as Institutionalised Partnerships, such as Joint Undertakings and Article 185 initiatives, within the broader framework of European Partnerships under Horizon Europe 2028-2034. The consultation is open to researchers, industry representatives, Member States, Associated Countries, and the wider public. Interested stakeholders can review the consultation documents and submit feedback until 16 October 2026 through the European Commission's Have Your Say Portal. Background The European Commission's proposal for Horizon Europe under the next Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF 2028-2034) introduces important changes to the way European Partnerships are established and implemented. Treaty-based partnerships, such as Joint Undertakings and Article 185 initiatives, will only be used in exceptional cases. By default, partnerships will be tripartite, bringing together the EU, Member States and Associated Countries, and industry around shared strategic priorities. What are treaty-based partnerships? Treaty-based partnerships, also known as Institutionalised Partnerships, include Article 187 Joint Undertakings (JUs) and Article 185 initiatives. They are key instruments in the EU research and innovation funding landscape, bringing together different actors around shared strategic priorities. What are the Joint Undertakings? Joint Undertakings are partnerships between the European Union and industry and/or Member States. Under the current MFF (2021-2027), there are nine Joint Undertakings: Circular Bio-based Europe (CBE) Clean Aviation Clean Hydrogen Europe's Rail Global Health EDCTP3 Innovative Health Initiative (IHI) Chips Joint Undertaking Single European Sky ATM Research 3 (SESAR 3) Smart Networks and Services (SNS) What are Article 185 initiatives? Article 185 initiatives are Public-Public Partnerships between Member States (and Associated Countries) and the EU. Under the current MFF (2021-2027), there are two such initiatives: Partnership for Research and Innovation in the Mediterranean Area (PRIMA) European Partnership on Metrology For more information on the European Partnership landscape, visit the NCP Flanders overview of the partnerships.
