About Horizon Europe

Horizon Europe is structured around three main pillars:

• Pillar I: Excellent Science | Covers fundamental research funded by the European Research Council and the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions.
• Pillar II: Global Challenges & European Industrial Competitiveness | Supports EU funding to address global challenges and strengthen Europe's industrial competitiveness.
• Pillar III: Innovative Europe | Focuses on enhancing Europe's innovation ecosystem and bringing innovation to the market.

The Horizon Europe structure includes six clusters, each addressing specific thematic areas:

1. Health
2. Culture, Creativity, and Inclusive Society
3. Civil Security for Society
4. Digital, Industry, and Space
5. Climate, Energy, and Mobility
6. Food, Bioeconomy, Natural Resources, Agriculture, and Environment

Networking

Following the Info Day, a brokerage event will take place at the same venue from 16:00 to 19:00. Organized by GREENET, the network of National Contact Points (NCPs) for Cluster 5, the brokerage event will facilitate networking opportunities for potential project partners.

Participants looking for collaboration partners will have the opportunity to present their organization and project ideas in a plenary session and in dedicated bilateral meetings.
