Horizon Europe: 2027 work programs updated
The European Commission has officially published the updated Horizon Europe work programs. Hence, all details regarding the forthcoming funding opportunities are now available.
New calls under ‘Horizontal Activities’
Of particular interest are the new calls for proposals under the ‘Horizontal Activities’ section of the program. The calls ‘Bridging Actions’ and ‘Transformative change towards a nature-positive economy and society’ have been newly included here.
There have also been changes to the other sections of the programs. These mainly involve amendments to the topic descriptions and deadlines. In addition, a few new topics have been added. Applicants are therefore advised to take a close look at the updated work programs.
You can find the updated work programs here.
Info Days provide guidance
To inform interested scientists about calls for proposals and funding opportunities, the European Commission is planning numerous information events in the coming months. The following Info Days have already been announced:
- Cluster 1: 26.11.2026
- Cluster 4: 14. und 15.10.2026
- Cluster 5: 19.11.2026
- Horizontal Activities: 16.10.2026
