The Green Deal Call for research and innovation projects is now open

The Green Deal call under the current research and innovation programme Horizon-2020 has been opened. The European Commission has decided to launch this call with an approximately €1 billion budget for research and innovation projects that respond to the climate crisis and help protect Europe's unique ecosystems and biodiversity. Projects are expected to deliver tangible and visible results relatively quickly and show how research and innovation can provide concrete solutions for the Green Deal main priorities. This is why the call will support:

  • pilot applications, demonstration projects and innovative products
  • innovation for better governance of the green and digital transition
  • social and value chain innovation
