What is Horizon Europe?
Horizon Europe is the EU’s key funding programme for research and innovation. The European Commission explains the programme on the official Horizon Europe page, while actual opportunities are defined through work programmes and published on the EU Funding & Tenders Portal.
Nexuswelt supports organisations that want to participate in Horizon Europe more strategically through consortium positioning, proposal support, stakeholder relevance, communication, and impact-oriented project support.
How Horizon Europe is structured?
Horizon Europe is organised around three main pillars, with an additional strand supporting widening participation and the European Research Area. For most collaborative consortia, the most relevant part is Pillar II, where thematic clusters define the main areas of application and project development.
The Six Horizon Europe Clusters
Under Pillar II, Horizon Europe is organised into six thematic clusters that group collaborative research and innovation topics. These clusters help applicants identify where their project theme fits within the programme.
Nexuswelt is particularly relevant for Horizon Europe projects that require strong communication, stakeholder engagement, exploitation visibility, innovation positioning, acceptance, uptake, and review-ready impact support.
