EU Missions under Horizon Europe
Supports Five EU funded moonshot programmes targeting climate, cancer, ocean health, smart cities, and soil coordinated R&I grants with targets.
EU Missions under Horizon Europe sit in the European Commission's research portfolio and group five mission programmes around climate adaptation, cancer, ocean and waters, climate-neutral and smart cities, and healthy soils. They are framed as 2030 goal-driven portfolios rather than single-topic grants, with each mission defined by a measurable public outcome.
The programme uses grants, usually iβ¦
Each grant below is a distinct funding opportunity with its own eligibility, scope, and deliverables.

Funds one β¬5M coordination project connecting researchers, farmers and policymakers to rebuild soil health knowledge and capacity across war-affected Ukraine.
Funds one β¬9M project turning long-term field-trial data into AI decision-support tools for farmers, advisors and land managers.
Funds two β¬10M projects that test and scale soil-resilience solutions across at least three EU regions, run jointly by the Soil and Climate Adaptation Missions.
Funds β¬10β15M projects that help neighbouring regions jointly withstand floods, droughts, wildfires and other climate risks.
Funds four β¬3M projects that put trustworthy AI to work for climate resilience in European regions and local authorities.
Funds β¬7β8M projects that use functional genomics and patient data to uncover precise new targets for difficult-to-treat cancers.
