Horizon 2020 European Green Deal calls open!

€1 Billion for research & innovation to boost the EU´s green recovery. The European Commission tables €1 billion under Horizon 2020 to respond to the climate crisis, provide more protection to Europe’s biodiversity and habitats under threat, and accelerate a sustainable recovery.

The world is facing unprecedented challenges and Europe is responding with the European Green Deal, an ambitious yet attainable action plan for a systemic transformation towards a climate-neutral continent by 2050.

Research & Innovation has the capacity to accelerate a just and sustainable socio-economic transition by demonstrating innovative solutions. Responding to the urgency of the challenges at hand, the Horizon 2020 Green Deal Call aims for tangible results in the short- to medium-term. It focuses on rapid scalability, dissemination and uptake to bring real benefits to Europeans in their daily life.

The €1 billion European Green Deal call is the last and biggest call under Horizon 2020. With innovation at its heart, this investment will accelerate a just and sustainable transition to a climate-neutral Europe by 2050.
