About
This is a single-stage call funding around 60 grants from a EUR 40 million budget. Grants cover up to 70% of eligible costs as a lump sum, with the beneficiary covering the remaining 30% from its own resources. Only SMEs established in a Horizon Europe widening country may apply, as a single beneficiary (no consortium), through the EU Funding & Tenders Portal.
Each grant below is a distinct funding opportunity with its own eligibility, scope, and deliverables.
