The European Commission has adopted the Horizon Europe Work Programme for 2026–2027, the final programme under the current Framework. It allocates €14 billion across a wide range of call topics.
For NIA Members, Cluster 4 (Industry, Digital & Space) includes several topics of particular interest. This Work Programme introduces a number of updates, notably the wider use of two-stage calls to encourage greater participation from new applicants, especially SMEs.
More details on the Work Programme are available on the European Commission press release.

The NIA will be supporting its members to identify potential topics of interest and helping them find relevant consortia to compile a proposal.
