With the deadlines for the Horizon Europe Cluster 3 “Civil Security for Society” 2026 calls approaching, it is a good moment to revisit the additional eligibility conditions that apply specifically to the Cluster 3 destinations managed by the European Commission and to reflect on the lessons from the 2025 evaluation results.

The recently published infosheet "Practitioner participation in Cluster 3 ‘Civil Security for Society’ calls: key requirements and common errors” provides a summary of the additional eligibility criteria for Cluster 3, highlights common errors that may lead to ineligibility, and describes how to avoid them.

The 2026 deadlines for Cluster 3 calls are 15 September for the Cybersecurity topics managed by the European Cybersecurity Competence Centre (ECCC) and 5 November for the remaining Cluster 3 destinations managed by the European Commission.
