ProgrammesAfter lengthy discussions, the final work programme on the horizontal activities has been officially published on the website of the European Commission.
First added to Horizon Europe in 2025, this broadly defined work programme supports EU policy goals through four topics: the Clean Industrial Deal, AI in Science, a nature-positive economy and society, and bridging innovations to market.
R&I support of the Clean Industrial Deal
Mobilises investment in clean resources and technologies, strengthens industrial competitiveness and resilience, and supports the decarbonisation and circularity of energy-intensive industries.
AI in Science
The European Commission’s RAISE initiative is designed to fund AI-in-science networks of excellence, automated laboratories and doctoral networks modelled on Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions.
Transformative change towards a nature-positive economy and society
Supports biodiversity research and innovation to help business growth, innovation and ecosystem restoration advance together, delivering a measurable increase in nature.
Bridging actions
Supports the transition from Horizon Europe to the 2028–2034 EU R&I Framework Programme by helping research results progress from innovation to investment and market deployment.
An info day on the nature and bridging calls is planned for 16 October for which all the information is available here.
If you are looking for partners for the nature calls, participants may wish to take part in the matchmaking session on 19 October.
We offer news and event updates, covering all domains and topics of Horizon Europe, Digital Europe & EDF (and occasionally, for ongoing projects, Horizon 2020).

Funded by Horizon Europe, under call topic HORIZON-WIDERA-2021-ERA-01-80, INSPIRE is Europe's Centre of Excellence on inclusive gender equality in research and innovation. It relies on four Knowledge and Support Hubs to create knowledge in the areas of sustaining change, widening participation, intersectionality and innovation. Moreover, it supports stakeholders in their journey to become more inclusive through 12 Communities of Practice. In this way, INSPIRE aims to develop both cutting-edge knowledge and innovative strategies for gender equality in the European Research Area. INSPIRE brings together 14 partners. The Belgian partner in this project is UHasselt.
