Horizontal Activities

About this programme

This work programme has been added to the existing Horizon Europe work programmes since 2025, with the aim to achieve EU policy goals. The topics are non-prescriptive and broadly defined. The current work programme “Horizontal activities” contains two topics: R&I support of the Clean Industrial Deal and AI in Science. The process is on-going to add more call topics.

R&I support of the Clean Industrial Deal

To answer the need to mobilise investments to expand the generation of clean resources, strengthen and secure competitiveness and resilience of clean tech industries and decarbonise energy-intensive industries. At the same time circularity remains a priority.
