There is movement on the major programs in the 2021-2027 period: a webinar explains how to prepare a successful proposal under the Horizon Europe program.
[Aggiornamento articolo 31 maggio 2021]
New updates regarding Horizon Europe:
- The Regulations of the program, detailing its structure, priorities, thematic areas and mode of operation, have finally been finally approved;
- The Horizon Europe Strategic Plan, an “interim” document that sets out the program’s strategic directions for the first four years (2021-2024), has been published;
- Horizon Europe’s work plan for 2021-2022 has been published, setting out the general conditions for eligibility for calls and investment programs in certain thematic areas (not the subject of project proposals). The annual work plan schedule (2021) for the support provided to researchers under the European Research Council (ERC) is also available;
- The online proposal submission manual is already available and the Horizon Europe program guide will be available soon.
The set of these documents (with all updates to be published later) can be accessed from the Funding and tenders portal. Other useful sources regarding Horizon Europe are the source documents, reference site, presentation, discussion stages and results page, as well as the “magazine” and “TV channel” specifically dedicated to the program.

Horizon Europe: what’s boiling in the pot
As we already know, the approval of the regulatory basis for major community programs is expected soon, followed by the publication of the respective strategic plans, work programs and calls for proposals. But much has already been done “behind the scenes,” and only the whistle is awaited.
For example, we already know a lot about Horizon Europe (or also “Horizon Europe,” in Italian), the largest of the European programs, the “spearhead” of the European Union’s research and innovation strategy.
In addition to all documents related to the proposed regulation from the European Commission and its subsequent developments, we can count on an up-to-date reference site and a detailed presentation that captures almost all the details. We have all the information on theprocess of the regulation(as we already know) and theevolution of the related debate.
Horizon Europe and the European Innovation Council: an early launch
All this applies on major EU programs, but on Horizon Europe we already have much more.
The EU Council presidency (now in Portugal’s six-month term) and the European Commission officially launched the Horizon Europe program back in February, jointly presenting the work program of the European Innovation Council, one of the most significant innovations introduced by the new Horizon Europe program. This is an early launch, pending official approval of key program documents.
Here are all the details and videos of the Horizon Europe program launch.
Reference site and video of the European Innovation Council launch here.
Horizon Europe even has a flagship “magazine” to keep abreast of research and innovation progress in Europe.
Horizon Europe: the webinar
Just these days we have a great news: a webinar organized by the services of the European Commission (DG Research and Innovation) with a very evocative title:
How to prepare a successful proposal in Horizon Europe
It will be held entirely online on Wednesday, March 24, from 10 a.m. to 4:15 p.m.
Here is the link to register and here the agenda of the meeting .
It will provide insights into the proposal submission and evaluation process, rules applicable to the program, and a Q&A slot.
This is an excellent opportunity for in-depth study: please attend in large numbers.
One more step toward new calls for proposals
With this material and this webinar dedicated to the greatest of funded programs by the European Union, the EU institutions give an important signal on the approach of the calls of the new programming period, at a time when the official texts are being revised (legal and linguistic aspects) with a view to their forthcoming final approval by the Council and the European Parliament.
This material is now, but will also be in the future, an important basis for successful participation in Horizon Europe calls for proposals.
Keep following us for future updates.
