Individual requirements depending on the call/ topics

Applications in the Horizon Europe program can only be submitted as part of open calls for proposals. You can find out which calls are open and when in the current work program. All current work programs can be found in the Funding and Tenders Portal of the EU, under Work program and call documents.

The Funding and Tenders Portal also provides an overview of open, upcoming or already closed calls.

Alternatively, we have compiled the current calls for funding in compact form for you here. On the respective call pages you will find the relevant information for submitting an application, including the submission deadline and information on the application procedure (one- or two-stage).

Calls are divided into Destinations (subject areas) and/or Topics (special topics). It is highly advisable to read the relevant passages in the work program carefully.

To understand the overarching objectives of Horizon Europe, it is also worth reading the Strategic Plan.

Electronic Project Application
The project application is submitted electronically in the Funding & Tender Opportunities Portal. Use the portal in good time! Shortly before the application deadline, delays due to numerous hits are to be expected.
