Updates about submission are published in the part "Topic updates" under each call topic on the Funding and Tender Portal. Hereunder the publication of topic updates of some EIC Pathfinder and EIC Transition call topics.
EIC Pathfinder
The European Commission has announced a change in the ethics and security section in the following call topics (deadline for submission 28 October)
The annexes, regarding the Part B Ethics section and Part B Security section, were indicated previously as mandatory. They may be useful for the Ethics and Security assessment of the selected for funding proposals, however, the Commission noticed that they create confusion for the applicants, because the basic information on Ethics and Security is already mandatory in Part A. The Commission has now removed these annexes from Part B and encourages applicants to check the submission and to make sure they comply with the corrected requirements.
EIC Transition
Regarding the call topic HORIZON-EIC-2026-TRANSITIONOPEN, with deadline 16 September: applicants specifying an eligible originating project with a 6-digit project number should note that the administrative forms (part A - Other questions) only accept 9-digit project number. To proceed with the submission, applicants should add three leading zeros (000) to the project number. Eligible originating project with a 9-digit do not need to add anything.
