The European Union recently published a political commitment to strengthen the ICT supply-chain security and proposed a new plan to expand and reinforce its EU-wide cyber defence capabilities, reaffirming its commitment to the security of its digital infrastructure and to international law and norms in cyberspace.
This also impacts Horizon Europe, as in the General Annexes of the Work Programme 23-25 "Restrictions for the protection of European communication networks" has been added as an eligbility condition (p. 7).
Entities that are assessed as high-risk suppliers of mobile network communication equipment (and any entities they own or control) are not eligible to participate as beneficiaries, affiliated entities and associated partners.
This restriction applies to proposals within the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions part that concern the evolution of European communication networks (5G, post-5G and other technologies linked to the evolution of European communication networks) and 35 actions in pillar 2 (only in calls opening after the publication of this amended Work Programma, 18 April 2024), where the call topic contains the specific ‘eligibility’ condition “Subject to restrictions for the protection of European communication networks”.
This eligibility rule will be assessed at Grant Agreement Preparation phase by the project officer.

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.
