    Who it’s for

    Horizon Europe is open to all types of organisations across Europe and the world. Horizon Europe provides funding for research and innovation across three core pillars:

    Pillar 1 – Excellent Science

    Pillar 2 – Global Challenges and European Industrial Competitiveness

    Pillar 3 – Innovative Europe

    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 apply for Horizon Europe funding
    • how to form a consortium

    What you can get funding for

    You may be able to get Horizon Europe funding for projects which:

    • involve groundbreaking 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 aging population
