The European Commission has published updated Horizon Europe work programmes, which open up funding opportunities for 2026-27.
Commission announced On 29 September, it will provide an additional EUR 500 million for the last years of the programme. Funding will be allocated through two application programmes:
- Transformative Change Towards a Nature-Positive Economy and Society (€237 million)
- Transitional measures (Bridging Actions 2027 with a budget of EUR 260 million)
The updated work programmes focus funding on areas such as industry, climate and energy solutions, mobility, the bioeconomy, digital technologies and the development of innovation ecosystems. In addition, the EU wants to streamline the transition between the current and future funding periods (MFF 2028-2024), moving to the EU’s 10th Framework Programme for Research and Innovation (FP10).
The work programmes therefore aim to identify key themes for research and innovation funding in the coming years and also highlight funding opportunities for European businesses, universities, research institutions and public actors.
The publication of the work programmes will help regional actors to observe future calls for funding and thus start project preparation and cooperation on time, before the actual call for funding starts.
During the autumn, the European Commission will also organise Horizon Europe info sessions on work programmes, search themes and funding application practices, with more detailed timetables available at the link below..
