Widening in Horizon Europe
Widening Participation and Spreading Excellence actions under the Horizon Europe programme are highly relevant for the Western Balkans. The programme builds on activities under the previous financing period.
The objectives include:
- to contribute to building research and innovation capacity of Member States, Associated Countries and Outermost Regions that underperform in terms of R&I performance;
- strengthening their potential for successful participation in transnational research and innovation processes, promoting networking and access to excellence;
- upgrading their research and innovation systems, making them stronger and allowing the EU as a whole to advance together, in line with the policy objectives of the European Research Area.
The European Research Executive Agency (REA) implements six complementary actions: Teaming, Twinning (including Twinning Western Balkans), ERA Chairs, Excellence Hubs, the European Excellence Initiative (EEI), and the European Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST).
All funding information and details on how to apply are on the Funding and Tenders portal.
For additional information, please refer to the Widening Participation and Spreading Excellence page of the European Commission.
