Digital Europe funds projects in five key capacity areas (strategic objectives):
With its variety of topics the programme addresses a wide range of stakeholders: SMEs, higher education institutions, research centres, public authorities, large companies etc.
The Digital Europe Programme complements other EU programmes, such as the Horizon Europe programme for research and innovation, and the Connecting Europe Facility for digital infrastructure, the Recovery and Resilience Facility and the Structural funds.
The overall objectives, scope, outcomes and deliverables as well as budget allocations, for each topic are described in different work programmes:
All work programmes are available at this link.
Detailed descriptions of the different call topics can be found in the call documents once the calls are published on the Funding & Tenders Portal.
The legal and financial rules for Digital Europe resemble in many aspects those of other funding programmes such as Horizon Europe. However, there are some important difference that need to be taken into account, such as regards e.g. international collaboration and security restrictions. Information on the legal and financial rules can be found on our L&F overview page and in our infosheets.

The Marie Skłodowska-Curie Action (MSCA) European Innovative Training Network “PBNv2 - Next generation Pass-By Noise approaches for new powertrain vehicles” started in May 2017. Their research has the shared objective of investigating the possibilities to decrease pass-by noise of vehicles.
The project is a collaboration between 17 research institutions and companies in the European automotive R&D and provides a learning environment for 14 PhD fellows. The Belgian partner is the Noise and Vibration Research Group of KU Leuven, and this project is one of the many Horizon 2020 MSCA Innovative Training Networks that the KU Leuven research group participates in.
