National Contact Points (NCPs) are support structures that are an essential component in the implementation of the European Framework Programmes for Research and Innovation. These support structures are funded by the 27 EU member states and the countries that are associated to the framework programme.
NCPs provide information and on the ground advice to potential applicants and beneficiaries, through the project life cycle, in a manner that would be impossible for the European Commission and the Agencies acting alone.
The National Contact Point for Horizon informs stakeholders about the Horizon Europe EU Framework Programme for Research and Innovation, running from 2021-2027, and offers support for Horizon 2020 (2014-2020) projects which are still underway.
The Commission considers NCPs to be important partners in the implementation of the programme and the main structure for providing practical information and assistance to potential participants.
NCP Flanders gives advice to all stakeholders located in Flanders (enterprises, institutes, non-profit-organisations, universities, university colleges,...). The NCP advisors are located in the Research Foundation Flanders (FWO) or Flanders Innovation and Entrepreneurship (VLAIO).
This website is an important source of information and communication channel with our stakeholders. There is a news section, event calendar and a document and video library which can be searched with key words of your choice.
For each Horizon Europe and Horizon 2020 programme part a dedicated page offers the latest information on these programmes. Cross-programme subjects are summarised in info sheets.
Flemish stakeholders can create a myHORIZON account to receive regular updates in their mail box. Examples of projects with Flemish beneficiaries are showcased via the Inspire page and testimonies throughout our website.
Outside the Horizon framework programmes many other EU funding sources on research and innovation exist which can be consulted via the EU other funding page. The EU Funding Overview is an exhaustive overview of EU funding programmes and agencies.

EURHISFIRM designs a world-class research infrastructure (RI) to connect, collect, collate, align, and share detailed, reliable, and standardized long-term financial, governance, and geographical data on European companies. EURHISFIRM enables researchers, policymakers, and other stakeholders to develop and evaluate effective strategies to promote investment, economic growth and job creation. The RI provides the tools for long-term analysis highlighting the dynamics of the past and the way those dynamics structure our present and future.
The EURHISFIRM European project received € 3.4 million in financing from the European Commission through the H2020-INFRADEV-2017-1 research infrastructures call. The project started with a consortium of eleven research organisations (including University of Antwerp) from seven European countries.
