Horizon Europe

Notice

Canadian researchers are now eligible to apply for and receive Horizon Europe Pillar II funding. The primary focus of Pillar II is on shared global challenges: climate, energy, digital economy, and health.

Association to Horizon Europe is the deepest form of collaboration offered by the EU in research and innovation. Canadian researchers are now eligible to collaborate in calls under Pillar II of the program on equal terms with entities from the EU Member States. Researchers will also have access to networks of research in the EU and 18 other countries associated with Horizon Europe as of 2024.

Pending finalization of the EU-Canada agreement, which is expected in late 2024, Canadian researchers are eligible “beneficiaries” under a Transitional Agreement. Timeframe from call closure to successful grant agreement finalization is typically up to 8 months (i.e. late 2024 for applications submitted in early 2024).
