It suits you if…

  • You want to test whether a new or improved technology, product or service is feasible.
  • You want to build plans, designs, prototypes, pilots or demonstrations of a new or improved service.
  • You can work in a consortium with independent partners from other countries.
  • Your organisation has its registered office in an area the call lists.

It is not for you if…

  • You plan to apply alone, unless the topic you choose says otherwise.
  • Your organisation is in an exclusion situation, such as bankruptcy, fraud or unpaid tax or social security.
  • Your registered office is outside the countries and territories the call lists.

How much you can get

The call does not state a total budget, nor a minimum or maximum grant in the data we hold. The funding rate is not confirmed: check it in the official call before you plan your own share. The grant is a non-profit grant. If the project makes a profit, it is deducted from the final grant amount. The call allows an advance payment and interim payments.

What it pays and what it does not

Pays

  • Purchase costs.
  • Work you buy from outside companies.
  • Costs of your own staff.

Does not pay

Add to calendar

What you need

  • Part A: administrative information, a summarised budget and the call-specific questions.
  • Part B: the technical description of the project.
  • Partners from different countries who are independent legal entities, each with a registered office in a listed area.

How to apply

  1. Apply online through the EU funding portal: the call is submitted there.
  2. Pick the topic that fits your idea and check whether it changes the partner rule.
  3. Build your consortium of independent partners from different countries.
  4. Write Part A and Part B together with your partners.
  5. Before you submit, reread the official call: the act prevails.

Each step explained in more detail: “How to apply for a grant in 7 steps”

Mistakes that cost you the money

  • Building a consortium where partners are not independent or share the same country. Consequence: The application may not meet the partner rule and be rejected.
  • Putting a consultant's fee for writing the proposal into the budget. Consequence: That cost cannot be paid by the call.
  • Forgetting that the grant cannot produce a profit. Consequence: Any profit is deducted from the final grant amount.
  • Leaving a partner in an exclusion situation in the consortium. Consequence: That partner cannot take part in the grant.

Frequently asked questions

Can I apply on my own?

Not in general. The call asks for independent legal entities, each established in a different country, unless the topic you choose provides otherwise.

Will I get money before the project ends?

The call provides for an advance and for interim payments. The call does not state the exact timing here, so check it in the official call.

How are applications chosen?

Applications are put in a ranking. Order of arrival does not decide the result.

Until when can I apply?

Until Tuesday 1 December 2026. The call does not state the hour.

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.

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.
