New Research Collaboration Opportunities with Horizon Europe
New Research Collaboration Opportunities with Horizon Europe
Published on: 07/31/2025
The European Union flagship Horizon Europe funding program for science and innovation has announced the new Work Program for 2025, investing over $8.2 billion in 2025 for research priorities that will drive the green and digital transitions, and support global talent. The first calls for proposals are now open on the Funding and Tenders portal, and more will be launched throughout the year.
They are structured around six priority areas that fall under Horizon Europe’s second pillar:
- Synergy Grant from the European Research Council – any areas.
- Health: strengthening public health and healthcare resilience, leveraging biotechnology and Artificial Intelligence, developing critical medicines.
- Culture, Creativity & Inclusive Society: enhancing democratic governance and shaping social, economic, technological, and cultural transformations.
- Civil Security for Society: responding to rapidly changing threats and domestic security challenges.
- Digital, Industry and Space: digital technologies, high-performance computing, AI, robotics, critical space technologies, the net-zero industry and the circular economy.
- Climate, Energy, and Mobility: accelerating the twin green and digital transitions and the associated transformation of our economy, industry, and society.
- Food, Bioeconomy, Natural Resources, Agriculture, and Environment: reducing environmental degradation, halt and reverse the decline of biodiversity, better manage natural resources, and meet the EU’s climate objectives.
