Under Horizon Europe, the European Commission funds research and innovation to foster the sustainable, balanced development of rural, coastal and urban areas.
2024 calls
There are single-stage and two-stage calls. For the single-stage call for proposals, applicants submit a final proposal by the call deadline. For the two-stage call for proposals, applicants submit an outline application (maximum 10 pages) by the first deadline which will be evaluated against only two award criteria: ‘Excellence’ and ‘Impact’. Successful applicants are invited to submit a full proposal by the second deadline, which will be evaluated against the full set of award criteria. First-stage proposals of two-stage submissions will be evaluated blindly, and applicants may not disclose their identity in Part B of their proposal.
