Digital, Industry & Space

The European Commission decided to cancel three quantum topics from the Horizon Europe Cluster 4 work programme 2026-2027. The topics in call HORIZON-CL4-2026-04 are currently suspended while an amendment to the work programme is being finalised, which is currently foreseen in the fourth quarter of 2026. The submission platform for these topics is no longer accessible, and participants preparing or submitting proposals have already been informed.

The intention is to relaunch these call topics under the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking, which will be mandated to include, among other things, also quantum technologies. 

The suspended topics are

  • HORIZON-CL4-2026-04-DIGITAL-EMERGING-11 on quantum sensors for inertial navigation,
  • HORIZON-CL4-2026-04-DIGITAL-EMERGING-12 on standards for quantum technologies as a coordination and support action, and
  • HORIZON-CL4-2026-04-DIGITAL-EMERGING-18 on large-scale photonic quantum computing platform technologies as a research and innovation action.

Further information is expected from EuroHPC JU, including updates on possible future calls: https://eurohpc-ju.europa.eu and https://eurohpc-ju.europa.eu/about-eurohpc-ju_en.

Limecraft - Powerful workflows for video products

If you’ve never heard of Limecraft, you’re clearly not working in the media sector. Their SaaS platform provides integrated workflows for media management, scripted and unscripted TV, and subtitling and localisation. It is used by leading broadcasting companies – such as BBC, VRT, NPO… – and production firms of which De Mensen or Hotel Hungaria might ring a bell (at least if you are Belgian).

NCP Flanders went to Ghent to interview Maarten Verwaest, CEO and cofounder, about how he sees Horizon 2020. Limecraft is a partner in the MeMAD project, which is a collaborative RIA project submitted to an ICT call topic
