This online session looks at Financial Support for Third Parties (FSTP) in Horizon Europe, with a focus on digital topics. It covers the FSTP process from both funder and beneficiary perspectives, including current and upcoming calls in the Digital ecosystem, practical experience from project organisers, and testimonials from start-ups that received cascade funding. The programme ends with a Q&A session on questions and practical challenges.

The session is intended to give participants a practical overview of how cascade funding works in Horizon Europe and what applicants and scheme managers should look at when preparing or running FSTP actions. It also highlights the expected importance of FSTP in the 2027 Cluster 4 Digital Work Programme.

Participation is free of charge, but registration is mandatory. More information is available at https://www.euresearch.ch/en/our-services/inform/events/financial-support-for-third-parties-(fstp)-in-horizon-europe-1586.html
