European Partnerships in Horizon Europe

European R&I Partnerships

This page gives you an overview of the partnerships that are formalised by the European Commission as ‘European Partnerships for R&I’ and that are part of the European Research Area (ERA). 

European Partnerships for R&I combine funding from the European Commission and private and/or public partners to fund R&I projects and complement the Horizon Europe framework programme.

The calls from these partnerships are therefore also found in the work programmes of Horizon Europe.

Can I participate to calls from these Partnerships?

Partnership calls follow the rules of participation of Horizon Europe by default. Ghent University researchers can participate by default. There is one exemption: The Co-fund partnerships. In these, the eligibility of a UGent researcher to receive funding, depends on the participation of our national R&I funding organisations.

Rule of thumb: when FWO is the organisation that is participating, a researcher can apply for funding directly. If VLAIO is the organisation participating, a researcher will need to apply for funding in cooperation with a private company.

Partnerships indicated with an Asterix * will start in 2023 and are still under construction.
