Though the EC is reporting transparantly on the awarded Horizon funding, the actual information is not easy to find nor browse. This infosheet provides a short introduction to get you kickstarted.

Data is available from 2007 onwards, and comes from 3 framework programmes: Horizon Europe (ongoing) and Horizon 2020 and FP7 (past). In total, info on almost 500k proposals (1.8 million applications), 125k projects and 250k organisations is available.
There are many different dashboards, but the most interesting ones are the R&I organisation profiles, proposals and projects.
The main constraint of the provided information is that you mostly have access to aggregated information only and cannot drill down nor click through to related information. But a bit of searching will help you quite quickly to uncover the needed information.
Every dashboard starts with the full information of all framework programmes. In order to get something usefull out of it, you'll need to select (filter) a specific project, proposal or organisation.
R&I organisation profiles: select an organisation (by its legal name or by its pic code) and get a good overview of the amount funding received, the number of projects participated in (including the role) and a breakdown of the (sub)programmes in the key figures tab.
You can use this information to verifty the credibility of a (potential) partner for a new proposal. Or to find the PIC number (and organisation type) of an organisation that you only know by name. Or vice versa, to find the organisation that is behind a PIC number.
Additionally, the detailed profile also provides information on the collaborations and involved organisation departments (which could be an interesting help for fingpointing the people you want to be in contact with).
The project list displays info about the funded projects the organisation was involved in, with links to CORDIS for more information.
The proposals section contains aggregated information on the (number of) proposals submitted. You can filter by country and even region (nuts) or by framework programme or programme. And even see detailed statistics for a specific call topic.
It's important to keep in mind that the submitted proposals (nor their metadata) are publicly available. So you will never be able to find links towards a specific submitted proposal (and/or its consortium) if it has not been funded.
The projects section contains two different view: key figures and project details. Where the first contains similar aggregated information to the proposals, the latter is more interesting if you are looking for a starting point info finding the eco system.
The project details section allows you to drill down to a specif thematic domain or even a call topic, or a geographical region. The result is a list of projects that satisfy your filter settings (e.g. all projects about topic xxx, or all projects with partners from region yyy).
You found some projects of interest and want to take a deeper dive? Don't forget to check CORDIS, where you'll find information on all EU-supported R&D activities. Use one of the following links to get quickly results for Horizon Europe Horizon 2020 or FP7 projects. Make sure to use the 'Domain of Application' filter to narrow down the results.
We offer news and event updates, covering all domains and topics of Horizon Europe, Digital Europe & EDF (and occasionally, for ongoing projects, Horizon 2020).

Only for stakeholders located in Flanders
The RUSTICA project obtained funding under Horizon 2020, more in particular under the topic ‘Closing nutrient cycles’. RUSTICA focuses on demonstration and implementation of circular bio-based nutrient valorisation chains, focusing on waste from the fruit and vegetable agro-food system. The project kicked off in 2021 and will run until 2024. It will use a strong multi-actor approach to co-create both socio-economic and technological knowledge in four case study regions in Europe and one in Colombia. The Flanders-based company DRANCO is one of the project partners and acts as technical project manager for the entire project. DRANCO participates in the project to develop its own technologies, to network and to help make the transition to a more circular based economy.
