As of December 4, 2023, Canadian researchers are considered 鈥渁ssociate country participants鈥� within , the EU's key funding program for research and innovation. Pillar II is primarily focused on tackling major, shared global challenges, including climate, energy, digital economy, and health, and addressing Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Pillar II: Global Challenges and European Industrial Competitiveness is the largest collaborative part of the Horizon Europe program, with a budget of approximately C$79.6 billion.
Canadian researchers can apply now as beneficiaries and receive grants directly from the European Commission (EC) once provisional application begins, likely in Q3 2024. Given application processing timeframes, Canadians are strongly encouraged to apply now to be considered in the 2024 review period.
Researchers interested in learning more about and applying for Horizon Europe Pillar II open calls can consult the on the EU's Funding and Tenders Portal.
For any additional questions, please contact Richard McCulloch, Executive Director, Research Services.
