Find out what's happening in the area of Horizon Europe, Digital Europe and Horizon 2020
We would like to draw your attention to the following cascading calls for proposals.
A cascading call is a funding mechanism where a larger project, already funded by Horizon Europe or other funding programme, distributes part of its funds to smaller projects through its own call for proposals. As an applicant to a cascading call, you would be applying to receive a portion of the funding managed by this larger project.
From your perspective, this process involves finding a cascading call that aligns with your project's goals and submitting a proposal to the organization managing the larger project. If your proposal is successful, you'll receive funding to support your research or innovation activities. This approach allows Horizon Europe to efficiently distribute funds to a wider array of smaller projects, encouraging diverse and innovative contributions to the overarching goals of the program. Essentially, you're benefiting from a secondary layer of funding opportunities, making it easier for smaller or more niche projects to access financial support.

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.
