Innovative phytosanitary treatments are essential to protect plant health and support safe global trade. The Horizon Europe call HORIZON-CL6-2026-02-FARM2FORK-01 seeks cost-effective, environmentally friendly post-harvest treatments for regulated pests. With a €12 million estimated budget and deadline on 14 April 2026, this call promotes validated, scalable solutions that strengthen agriculture, biodiversity and international supply chains.
Textiles are one of Europe’s most resource-intensive sectors. The Horizon Europe call topic HORIZON-CL6-2026-01-CIRCBIO-02 seeks industrial-scale recycling technologies for post-consumer blended textiles. With a €11 million budget and deadline on 17 September 2026, this call aims to make fibre-to-fibre recycling, durability and non-toxicity the new standard for European textiles.
Plastic food packaging remains a major obstacle to Europe’s circular economy goals. The Horizon Europe call topic HORIZON-CL6-2026-01-CIRCBIO-01 seeks industrial-scale solutions for recyclable multilayer food packaging. With a €11 million budget and deadline on 17 September 2026, this call aims to improve end-of-life sorting, recycling and circular design for food-contact plastics.
Groundwater ecosystems remain one of Europe’s least understood natural assets. Cluster 6 of seeks innovative scientific methods to assess their biodiversity, functions and sensitivity. With a €10 million budget and deadline on 17 September 2026, you are invited to advance hazard assessment and contribute to protect Europe’s drinking water resources.
The European Commission has for the first time released a draft version of the Cluster 6 2026–2027 Work Programme (Food, Bioeconomy, Natural Resources, Agriculture and Environment) via the Comitology Register, offering consortia an early look at upcoming calls, budgets and strategic direction. In this blog we unpack structure, highlight select calls and offer proposal-level advice to get ahead.
The Horizon Europe 2025 Food, Bioeconomy Work Programme has been pre-published and is packed with fresh opportunities around sustainable food systems, biodiversity and circular economy. With major EU funding up for grabs, now’s the time to dive into the topics, spot your chance, and gear up for the next calls.
Cluster 6 of Horizon Europe and CBE JU offer numerous funding opportunities for environmentally sustainable, circular and bio-based economy topics. Take a closer look to find calls that will fit your project ideas. With both deadlines in September 2024, there is still enough time to prepare and submit your proposal.
The European Green Deal initiative is one of the major policy priorities of the European Commission. Some of its many funding opportunities are in Cluster 5 of Horizon Europe, namely those designated to address mitigating climate change and minimising associated negative impacts, accelerating the green energy transition, and revolutionising the mobility sector.

In a project funded under Horizon Europe, participants are required to plan and carry out their dissemination activities carefully and extensively. At accelopment we are excited to support your proposal and help you spread your research results as widely as possible to maximise the impact of your project.
Project coordinators and partners often think that EU project management in Horizon Europe refers to only scientific coordination. However, it also covers the operational management of the grant and it bringstogether up to 15 partners. The project coordinator has a truly challenging job in aligning the work towards a joint project goal and accelCOCKPIT® is designed to make this task a seamless process.
As deadlines for two-stage calls in the areas of Health, Climate and Food are getting closer, learn about a key change in the submission process from Horizon 2020 to Horizon Europe.
The first, highly competitive, EIC Pathfinder Open call revealed important novelties for applicants. As in FET-Open, the programme is still targeted at breakthrough, innovative solutions, but with changes ranging from the formalities of the main proposal document to the strict requirement of a multidisciplinary approach.
With a total budget of € 2.2 billion for 2021 to 2022, the Horizon Europe Cluster 6 is expected to support a transformative change of the EU economy and society to reduce environmental degradation, stop and reverse the decline of biodiversity, and better manage natural resources while meeting the EU's climate objectives and ensuring food and water security.
