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.

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.

From Heat-Driven Processes to the use of Mechanical and Electric Forces (Processes4Planet Partnership) (IA)

Proposals under this topic should address areas including, but not limited to, demonstrating and/or integrating highly efficient electrically driven technologies e.g., membrane technology, power ultrasound, mechanical activation, mechanically or electricity induced forces, electrochemical processes, that can replace traditional heating processes.

Green and Resilient Flexible Production Processes (Processes4Planet partnership) (IA)

Proposals under this topic should address areas including, but not limited to, addressing the redesign and modification of existing processes, including, as relevant, modifications of process steps or equipment and smart combinations of renewable energy sources, thereby improving the overall operation flexibility of the process and resulting in continuous efficient operation.

MSCA4Ukraine Fellowships 2025

The expected outcomes of this topic include, but are not limited to, protection of displaced researchers from Ukraine continuing their research in academic or non-academic organisations in EU Member States or Horizon Europe Associated Countries through dedicated fellowships and facilitating their reintegration to Ukraine when safe conditions for return are met.

Smart Integration of Net Zero Technologies into Energy Intensive Industries (Processes4Planet and Made in Europe Partnerships) (IA)

Projects supported under this topic are expected to contribute to outcomes including, but not limited to, enabling the sustainable and efficient use of energy in the energy intensive industries by bridging the gap between users and manufacturers of net-zero solutions for the energy-intensive industries.

Demonstration, Deployment and Upscaling of Circular Systemic Solutions in Cities and Regions (Circular Cities and Regions Initiative)

The projects supported under this topic are expected to contribute to outcomes including, but not limited to, increased circularity and reduced GHG emissions in the economic sectors, services and product value chains at local and/or regional scale, and efficient valorisation of local resources, with positive effects on air quality and biodiversity.

Innovative Solutions for the Sustainable Production for Semiconductor Raw ,aterials (IA)

Projects supported under this topic are expected to contribute to outcomes including, but not limited to, decreased dependency of the EU on imported raw materials for semiconductor production and decreased risk in European semiconductor supply chains.
