The European Commission and New Zealand have concluded the association negotiations of New Zealand to Horizon Europe. New Zealand will become the first non-EU industrialized country that will be associated to Horizon Europe. The association agreement is expected to be signed in the coming months. New Zealand will only associate to Pillar 2 of Horizon Europe. This new development resulted in an update of the list of participating countries in Horizon Europe in the Horizon Europe Programme Guide. New Zealand is now considered as a country in view of association and therefore the transitional arrangements will apply. As from the Work Programmes 2023 onwards, New Zealand partners requesting EU funding have to be included as beneficiaries in proposals of Horizon Europe Pillar 2 calls. Please be aware that if at the time of the signature of the grant agreement of the project, the association agreement of New Zealand has not been finalised yet then the status of the New Zealand partner will need to be changed to associated partner and will not be funded through Horizon Europe. In this case the New Zealand partners will need to secure their own funding.

STARGATE - Sustainable Aviation

The Stargate project obtained funding under the special Green Deal call of Horizon 2020, more in particular under the topic of “green ports and airports”.  It received the maximum score of the evaluators and was selected out of more than 40 projects. Stargate’s purpose is to prove that sustainable aviation is possible and happening. It focuses on the further decarbonization of the aviation industry, the improvement of local environmental quality and the stimulation of the modal split. Together with a consortium of 21 European partners with a diverse and rich expertise (airports, community partners, knowledge institutions, consultants, local governments, …), Brussels Airports takes the lead as lighthouse airport to develop and implement innovative solutions. Results that prove successful can be deployed at the fellow airports (Toulouse, Budapest, Athens). Over the course of the coming five years, the consortium will exchange knowledge to investigate and realize more than 30 concrete projects.
