Horizon Europe is the new Framework Program, which will run until 2027, with a total budget of €95.5 billion. Currently the draft of subsidy calls is still under consultation, but we gathered all the officially published information on this page.

At Catalyze, we have obtained funding for Horizon Europe for a wide range of companies, legal entities and academic groups.

Horizon Europe structure

The preliminary structure of the new programme is divided over 3 pillars and 1 horizontal focus area:

 

The Horizon Europe program also aims to implement mission-driven research focusing on five different missions. A mission is a set of actions across multiple disciplines with the aim of reaching a bold and inspirational goal with high impact on society, within a pre-set timeframe. These missions will be addressed within the Global Challenges and European Industrial Competitiveness pillar:

  1. Adaptation to climate change including societal transformation
  2. Cancer
  3. Climate-neutral and smart cities
  4. Healthy oceans, seas, coastal and inland waters
  5. Soil health and food

Further below we explain more about the different grants and clusters within these pillars.
