On 11 December 2025, the European Commission has adopted the Horizon Europe Main Work Programme 2026-2027 and has published it on the EU Funding & Tenders Portal. 

The Work Programmes can be found under reference documents on the Funding & Tenders Portal.

On the NCP Flanders website the published work programmes can be consulted in the Horizon Europe section i.e. on each subprogramme page on the right hand side under ‘work programme and calls’.

A novelty is that the Commission has dedicated a specific part of the work programme to horizontal activities, which you can find here. This novel part includes two calls: a call on R&I in Support of the Clean Industrial Deal and a call on AI in science, supporting trustworthy AI applications in different sectors and contributing to the recently launched RAISE initiative (Resource for AI Science in Europe).

Find out more about what to expect from the work programme via the Commission’s official press release.

An overview of the Info Days and Brokerage Events on the Horizon Europe 2026 calls can be found in this NCP Flanders news article. Some have already taken place, others will take place in the coming weeks / months.

UNCHAIN - Revolutionising urban logistics & space management

The UNCHAIN project, ‘urban logistics and planning: anticipating urban freight generation and demand including digitalisation of urban freight’ obtained funding from the Horizon Europe’s Mobility Cluster. The project focuses on breaking down data silos and promoting public-private data exchange across a unified European mobility data space, enabling more informed decisions and greater efficiency. The City of Mechelen is a partner in the project and takes on the role of ‘follower city’: it will work alongside the primary demonstration sites (in Madrid, Berlin and Florence) to maximize the geographical coverage and replicability of solutions across Europe. Mechelen aims to test 2 concrete solutions in the UNCHAIN project, with the aim to help addressing its current and future challenges in urban freight distribution.
