Horizontal

Widening Participation & Strengthening the European Research Area

Horizon Europe

General Aspects

Horizon Europe is a huge innovation funding programme. The subprogrammes have many generic aspects in common, and best practices to take into account.

Horizon Europe

Legal & Financial Aspects

When applying for a project, you need to take into account the administrative & financial framework, with rules for application and project implementation.

Widening Participation & Spreading Excellence

In order to close the research and innovation gap between the European Member States, the Commission has designed the Spreading Excellence and Widening Participation strategy. Measures supported under this strategy will help low R&I performing EU countries to increase their participation in Horizon Europe.

Reforming and Enhancing the European R&I System

Similar to the free movement of goods and services, the European Commission wants to expand the European Research area in which researchers and innovators can move around in the EU without encountering legal, technological or physical borders. The primary objective is thus to stimulate the mobility of people active in R&I and diffuse the available knowledge all over Europe.

COST

COST (Cooperation in Science and Technology) is a EU funded programme that provides funding for research networks. COST's mission is to strengthen Europe in scientific and technological research through the support of European cooperation and interaction between European researchers.

Partnerships

Partnerships group the European Commission and private or public partners, to coordinate and streamline the research and innovation initiatives and funding in some selected key domains.
