How to Prepare for a Horizon Europe Call in Cluster 2 (Culture, Creativity, and Inclusive Society) and 3 (Civil Security for Society) – Mar. 11, 2025
Session Description
March 11 2025 @ 10:00 am - 11:00 am
The Division of the Vice-President, Research & Innovation is hosting a webinar on Horizon Europe to promote this significant new funding program and provide specific information about its opportunities in Cluster 2 (Culture, Creativity and Inclusive Society) and Cluster 3 (Civil Security for Society) to U of T faculty interested in applying in 2025.
Horizon Europe is the world’s largest research and innovation collaboration program, with a total budget of C$140 billion (2021-2027). The program is structured into three pillars, and Canada has recently become an associated country eligible to apply for Pillar II: “Global Challenges and European Industrial Competitiveness”. Canadians can now participate in or create international consortia to apply for Pillar II project calls and receive grants directly from the European Commission.
A question & answer period will follow
