What are European Partnerships?

European Partnerships bring the European Commission and private and/or public partners together to address some of Europe’s most pressing challenges through concerted research and innovation initiatives. They are a key implementation tool of Horizon Europe, and contribute significantly to achieving the EU’s political priorities.

By bringing private and public partners together, European Partnerships help to avoid the duplication of investments and contribute to reducing the fragmentation of the research and innovation landscape in the EU.

Types of partnerships

There are 3 types of partnerships:

• Co-programmed European Partnerships: partnerships between the Commission and mostly private (and sometimes public) partners.
• Co-funded European Partnerships: partnerships involving EU countries, with research funders and other public authorities at the core of the consortium
• Institutionalised European Partnerships: partnerships in the field of research and innovation between the Union, EU member states and/or industry.
