Qualifications for Horizon 2020
At an European level, you are involved in research, technical development and innovation. Also, at least three different European countries are involved and collaborate on the project. Does your project meet these conditions? Chances are that your project is eligible for funding.
Excellent Science
Not only fundamental research is an important theme, exchange projects are too. Horizon 2020 Excellent Science has grants available for the following:
- European Research Council (ERC)
- Future and Emerging technologies (FET)
- Marie Sklodowska-curie
- Research Infrastructures
Industrial Leadership
Improvements and innovative technologies help European businesses rapidly grow into leading companies worldwide. Horizon 2020 embraces small, medium and bigger enterprises with subsidies for:
- ICT
- Nanotechnologies, advanced materials and production
- Space
- Innovation in SMEs
Societal Challenges
Innovations and solutions for specific societal challenges. Horizon 2020 Societal Challenges provides subsidies for:
- Health, demographic change and wellbeing
- Food security, sustainable agriculture and forestry, marine and maritime and inland water research
- Secure, clean and efficient energy
- Smart, green and integrated transport
- Climate action, environment, resource efficiency and raw materials
- Inclusive, innovative and reflective societies

Pilot European Innovation Council (EIC)
Projects from top innovators, startups, small businesses and researchers that have international potential to scale up get supported by EIC. Often, these ideas are brilliant yet very risky and radically different from existing products, services or business models. An example of instruments that support this are:
- SME instrument
- Fast Track to Innovation (FTI)
- Future and Emerging Technologies (FET) Open
