Funding opportunities under Horizon Europe Calls 2025

This brochure is based on the pre-published Horizon Europe Cluster 6 and Missions Work Programmes 2025. Pre-publication means that the documents are in draft and have not been adopted yet. The drafts have been made public in order to give the potential participants an overview of the expected priorities. Once adopted, the work programmes will have legal value and the links to the calls will be active.

Horizon Europe, the EU’s key funding programme for research and innovation, has a budget of EUR 95,5 billion, of which around EUR 9 billion is dedicated to Cluster 6: ‘Food, Bioeconomy, Natural Resources, Agriculture and Environment’ for the period 2021-2027. Through Cluster 6, Horizon Europe aims at supporting research and innovation (R&I) projects to develop knowledge and innovative solutions for and with farmers, foresters and rural communities.

Horizon Europe supports R&I across a wide range of topics addressing global challenges. Through the ‘EIP-AGRI' strand of the EU CAP Network, synergies are created between Horizon Europe and CAP-funded innovation projects, such as Operational Groups (OGs).

This brochure guides you through the different topics included in the Horizon Europe Cluster 6 work programmes implementing the multi-actor approach, the Mission Soil, and the Circular Bio-based Europe Joint Undertaking that builds on the new R&I priorities outlined in the Horizon Europe Strategic Plan 2025-2027.
