Horizon Europe: Research Infrastructures

Two new Research Infrastructures calls for proposals are open. Horizon Europe makes available €5 million to support research and innovation ideas on assessing the state of Research Infrastructures in Ukraine, and Future Engagement Model for the European Open Science Cloud Federation. Deadline to apply is 19 September.

We have prepared a guide to help you avoid the most common mistakes when applying for funding, such as: confusing terms, output and impact, overwriting beyond the page limit or forgetting Human Resources protocols and the gender dimension in research. Apply the tools the European Commission offers and bring your proposal closer to success!

What is the difference between Open Access and Open Science? How can you comply with Open Science practices? We have compiled a list of Q&A to guide you when applying for EU funding or help you implement open science in your project. Make sure to check it out before submitting your proposal.

When applying for funding, consider that: 1. In Horizon Europe, gender balance is a ranking criterion for proposals with an equal score; 2. Gender Equality Plans (GEP) are an eligibility criterion for public bodies, research and higher education institutions; 3. Gender dimension in research is a mandatory requirement in all research and innovation projects, unless a topic explicitly specifies otherwise.

To provide continuous support to Ukrainian research, the Commission has tripled the initial budget of the EURIZON Fellowship Programme to €4.5 million under Horizon Europe. The Programme is expected to have significant positive impacts on the work of Ukrainian researchers, including the opportunity to restart their projects, conduct cutting-edge research, establish stable contact with international partners, and broaden research dissemination.
