The European Union recently published a political commitment to strengthen the ICT supply-chain security and proposed a new plan to expand and reinforce its EU-wide cyber defence capabilities, reaffirming its commitment to the security of its digital infrastructure and to international law and norms in cyberspace.
This also impacts Horizon Europe, as in the General Annexes of the Work Programme 23-25 "Restrictions for the protection of European communication networks" has been added as an eligbility condition (p. 7).
Entities that are assessed as high-risk suppliers of mobile network communication equipment (and any entities they own or control) are not eligible to participate as beneficiaries, affiliated entities and associated partners.
This restriction applies to proposals within the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions part that concern the evolution of European communication networks (5G, post-5G and other technologies linked to the evolution of European communication networks) and 35 actions in pillar 2 (only in calls opening after the publication of this amended Work Programma, 18 April 2024), where the call topic contains the specific ‘eligibility’ condition “Subject to restrictions for the protection of European communication networks”.
This eligibility rule will be assessed at Grant Agreement Preparation phase by the project officer.

The UNCHAIN project, ‘urban logistics and planning: anticipating urban freight generation and demand including digitalisation of urban freight’ obtained funding from the Horizon Europe’s Mobility Cluster. The project focuses on breaking down data silos and promoting public-private data exchange across a unified European mobility data space, enabling more informed decisions and greater efficiency. The City of Mechelen is a partner in the project and takes on the role of ‘follower city’: it will work alongside the primary demonstration sites (in Madrid, Berlin and Florence) to maximize the geographical coverage and replicability of solutions across Europe. Mechelen aims to test 2 concrete solutions in the UNCHAIN project, with the aim to help addressing its current and future challenges in urban freight distribution.
