  • You can build a project together with partner organisations.

  • You plan tools such as training, risk assessment or guidelines for authorities.

It is not for you if…

  • You are a private individual: natural persons are excluded.

  • You are a profit-oriented organisation and want to lead: the lead must be non-profit.

How much you can get

The budget available for this priority of the call is €4,000,000. Each grant is between €200,000 and €600,000. The call pays up to 90% of the costs.

Mistakes that cost you the money

  • Submitting alone, without a consortium. Consequence: The call requires a consortium, so the application would not meet its conditions.
  • Sending more than one application as lead applicant across the priorities of the call. Consequence: The call allows a lead applicant only a single application.
  • Leaving out the child protection policy when an activity involves children. Consequence: A required document is missing from the file.
  • Counting on an extension of the deadline. Consequence: The call states that deadlines cannot be extended, so a late file is lost.
  • Putting a separate project website or money for third parties in the budget. Consequence: These costs are not paid by the call.

We'll help you with the application

We prepare free of charge the documents about our products: technical and project description, a quote split by the call's cost items, timing and data sheets to attach. For questions about the call, Horizon Europe National Contact Points (Funding & Tenders Portal), the public help desk for applicants, guides you.

For this call and your type of organisation we do not yet have a partner consultant who prepares the application.

We give you free of charge the technical documentation of our products and neutral functional requirements you can pass to any supplier. We do not write the project or the tender specifications. The purchase follows public procurement rules.

In European calls a consultant's fee cannot be put in the project budget: it is paid with your own funds.

If your project includes the usual neXt solutions, you can buy them from us, with a quote split by the cost items of the call.
