Q&A on the UK’s participation in Horizon Europe.
Who it’s for
Horizon Europe is open to all types of organisations across Europe and the world. Some funding calls allow a single organisation to apply but many require a team of partner organisations to form a consortium. Usually, the consortium must be made up of at least 3 organisations from different countries.
Get in touch with your UK national contact point for advice on:
- how to form a consortium
- how to apply for Horizon Europe funding
What you can get funding for
You may be able to get Horizon Europe funding for projects which:
- involve ground breaking research or new technologies
- improve research training and development, or research infrastructure
- create growth in sectors like advanced manufacturing, materials, biotechnology, information and communication technology, nanotechnology and space
- increase private investment in research
- respond to challenges like climate change, food security or healthcare for an ageing population
Small or medium sized companies (SMEs) can also get help from a coach or mentor, eg to improve management skills, create a marketing strategy or raise finance.
