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.

RUSTICA - Converting organic residues into bio-based fertiliser products

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.
