The NCP Flanders presentation “Horizon Europe in a nutshell” serves as a first guide in the application process. In brief it explains what Horizon Europe is and helps you to assess if it could be interesting for you and your organisation to apply.
The Horizon Europe Online manual provides all practical details on the submission process of proposals on the Funding and Tender portal, how to apply for funding, what will happen after the call deadline and offers guidance for the post-grant signature/project management phase.
The Horizon Europe Programme Guide offers more content related topics which are essential for preparing your proposal.
The application to a Horizon Europe call implies four major steps.
The Funding and Tender portal hosts call topics of all EU funding programmes. Through the left side menu you can filter on Horizon Europe and further on specific programme parts of your interest.
If you want to filter only the call topics of your domain of interests, then NCP Flanders Horizon Europe programme pages will guide you directly to the specific call topics.
The majority of the call topics demand a consortium of minimum three members of minimum three different European member states or Associated countries, though some type of calls are mono-beneficiary calls. There are several ways to find partners to build your consortium or to present yourself to other organisations that you are interested in participating to this project as a partner.
The Enterprise Europe Network, with local contact points, offers this service, besides several other initiatives, elaborated on this page.
Each user of the Funding and Tender portal has to have an EU Login account to log in on the Portal.
If you want to participate in a project proposal, your organisation needs to be registered and have a 9-digit Participant Identification Code (PIC). The 2-steps verification process for securing your registration in the Funding and tender portal, installed in 2020, is explained by the Commission through webinars and tutorials.
NCP Flanders can give you support during your application process and provides basic information and tips and tricks to support you with writing your proposal.
The YoPA project, ‘a youth-centred preventive action approach towards co-created implementation of socially and physically activating environmental interventions’ obtained funding from Horizon Europe’s Health Cluster. The project addresses the multifaceted challenges of physical inactivity and health inequalities through a unique participatory approach. The project places teenagers between 12 and 18 years old in vulnerable situations at the forefront of the intervention process. The Institute of Tropical Medicine is a partner in the project and will conduct a Realist Evaluation to understand how youth co-creation contributes to improved adolescent health and well-being in four cities in Denmark, Netherlands, Nigeria and South Africa. By integrating its results and sharing its approach in an open access Toolbox, ITM aims to contribute to fostering sustainable, youth-led solutions for healthier urban environments.
