ProgrammesThe European Commission has revised the EDF Work Programme for 2026, aligning it with the Mini-Omnibus Regulation. Key changes involve simplified procedures and new investment areas aimed at supporting SMEs and research organisations.
The updates to the EDF Work Programme 2026 halve the length of applications, reduce the number of award criteria, and streamline the proposal evaluation process. These amendments are designed to benefit small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and research organisations.

The calls for EDF 2026 have been published on the European Union's 'Tenders & Funding' portal at https://ec.europa.eu/info/funding-tenders/opportunities/portal/screen/home.
