The European Commission has canceled the call for HORIZON-CL4-2025-03-DIGITAL-EMERGING-09 due to unspecified conditions affecting legal certainty. This topic will be reintroduced in the WP 2026-2027, aiming to clarify the implementation aspects.
The European Commission decided to cancel the HORIZON-CL4-2025-03-DIGITAL-EMERGING-09 topic, also known as Challenge-Driven GenAI4EU Booster (RIA), owing to concerns from applicants regarding the specificity of the call text.
This cancellation is intended to ensure a fair evaluation process. The Commission plans to incorporate this call into the Work Programme for 2026-2027, making necessary legal adjustments and minimizing changes in the content.
Please note that the topic will still appear as “open for submission” on the portal until the closing date of the call (2 October). There is unfortunately no way to change this. However, the applicants who already created proposals cannot work on it anymore and it is not possible to start a new submission in the portal.
We expect a next update on the timing mid October. The Commission also confirmed it will organize dedicated information sessions once the call reopens.
