The overarching objective is to support activities for the implementation of the Interoperable Europe Act.

The call will open on 20 January 2026, deadline to submit proposals is 19 May 2026.

Detailed information on the call can be found in the call document

Background:

MCPs are and new instrument: large-scale deployment and capacity-building projects fostering the digital transformation of the Union. These projects promote coordinated investments among the EU, Member States and private stakeholders enabling digital infrastructure projects that a Member State alone could not deploy on its own. They reinforce the Union’s technology excellence and industrial competitiveness in critical technologies, support an interconnected, interoperable and secure Digital Single Market and address  strategic vulnerabilities and dependencies of the Union along the digital supply chain.

EITHOS - European Identity Theft Observatory System

The EITHOS project, funded under Horizon Europe Cluster 3 call “Online identity theft is countered”, aims to develop a “European Identity Theft Observatory System” (EITHOS). The system will provide easy access to information and intelligence about previous and current identity theft related trends to empower EU citizens, Law Enforcements Agencies (LEAs), and policy makers to further contribute to the prevention, detection, and investigation of crimes related to online identity theft. The Cyber and Data Security Lab (CDSL), part of the Law, Science, Technology and Society (LSTS) Research Group at Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB), is one of the 12 partners in the EITHOS consortium, contributing its vast expertise on legal aspects of data protection, cybersecurity and information security law and policy.
