Top 10 Funding Opportunities:

EU Co-Funded Partnership on Raw Materials for the Green and Digital Transition (Co-Funded Partnership Raw Materials for the Green and Digital Transition)

The project supported under this topic is expected to contribute to outcomes including, but not limited to, aligning national R&I priorities in raw materials with EU policy on raw materials.

Horizon Europe 2025 Work Programme Cluster 6: European Partnership: Forests and Forestry for a Sustainable Future

The expected outcome of this topic is a partnership that will mobilise research and innovation to accelerate the transition to a sustainable forest bioeconomy to enhance forest sector value, biodiversity, and climate resilience. The partnership will deliver knowledge and solutions that will support the implementation of several other European Green Deal strategies and initiatives, notably: the EU’s 2050 climate neutrality target, the EU forest strategy for 2030, the EU biodiversity strategy for 2030.

Materials Commons for Europe (IA)

The project funded under this topic is expected to contribute to outcomes including, but not limited to, creating a pioneer federated digital infrastructure for advanced materials research and development, demonstrating use cases facilitating industrial uptake and offering a feedback loop to academic research.

Horizon Europe 2025 Work Programme Cluster 5: Next Generation Testing Capabilities in Strategic EU Wind Tunnels

The project supported under this topic should focus on new and adapted testing capabilities for next generation climate neutral aviation. Project results should contribute to outcomes including, but not limited to, airframe transformative technologies, including airframe-propulsion integration.

Solving Issues in Carbon-Neutral Iron and Steel Making Processes with Diverse Input Materials of Varying Quality (Clean Steel Partnership) (RIA)

This topic aims to enable a fast and reliable transition to innovative technology pathways for carbon-neutral iron and steel making by tackling fundamental problems and boundary conditions with a system-level approach. Projects are expected to contribute to outcomes including, but not limited to, solving system-level issues within at least two low-CO2 production routes.

Horizon Europe 2025 Work Programme Cluster 6: Strengthening Taxonomic Approaches for Biodiversity

Project results are expected to contribute to outcomes including, but not limited to, the taxonomic community and its capacity to engage with and support policy and other decision-making on biodiversity, climate change and other environmental issues being strengthened.

Large-Scale in Situ Biodiversity Observations for Better Understanding of Biodiversity State, Drivers of its Decline and Impacts of Policies Restoring Ecosystems for Resilient Society and Economy

Project results are expected to contribute to outcomes including, but not limited to, competent authorities in charge of the design and implementation of biodiversity policies at all levels having more high-quality data and information from in situ biodiversity observations to understand the biodiversity state and trends in the EU and in Associated Countries.

Horizon Europe 2025 Work Programme Cluster 5: Control and Operation Tools for a RES-Based Energy System

Project results are expected to contribute to outcomes including, but not limited to, grid operators employing improved tools for forecasting energy generation from renewable sources and energy demand.
