The NCP Flanders presentation “Horizon Europe in a nutshell” serves as a first guide in the application process. In brief it explains what Horizon Europe is and helps you to assess if it could be interesting for you and your organisation to apply.
The Horizon Europe Online manual provides all practical details on the submission process of proposals on the Funding and Tender portal, how to apply for funding, what will happen after the call deadline and offers guidance for the post-grant signature/project management phase.
The Horizon Europe Programme Guide offers more content related topics which are essential for preparing your proposal.
The application to a Horizon Europe call implies four major steps.
The Funding and Tender portal hosts call topics of all EU funding programmes. Through the left side menu you can filter on Horizon Europe and further on specific programme parts of your interest.
If you want to filter only the call topics of your domain of interests, then NCP Flanders Horizon Europe programme pages will guide you directly to the specific call topics.
The majority of the call topics demand a consortium of minimum three members of minimum three different European member states or Associated countries, though some type of calls are mono-beneficiary calls. There are several ways to find partners to build your consortium or to present yourself to other organisations that you are interested in participating to this project as a partner.
The Enterprise Europe Network, with local contact points, offers this service, besides several other initiatives, elaborated on this page.
Each user of the Funding and Tender portal has to have an EU Login account to log in on the Portal.
If you want to participate in a project proposal, your organisation needs to be registered and have a 9-digit Participant Identification Code (PIC). The 2-steps verification process for securing your registration in the Funding and tender portal, installed in 2020, is explained by the Commission through webinars and tutorials.
NCP Flanders can give you support during your application process and provides basic information and tips and tricks to support you with writing your proposal.
The Department of Economy, Science and Innovation of the Flemish government coordinates the Horizon 2020 Coordination and Support Action SAPHIRe, which started on 1 December 2018. The aim of the project is to secure the adoption of personalised medicine in all European regions, including sparsely populated and remote regions and regions with different innovation capacities.
The activities of SAPHIRe are complementary to the smart specialisation partnership on personalised medicine – S3P4PM, which is also coordinated by the Department of Economy, Science and Innovation.
