EUopSTART
EUopSTART provides funding for the preparatory activities involved in writing applications for Horizon Europe. The costs must be relevant and directly linked to preparation of your Horizon Europe application. You can have up to 50 per cent of your expenses covered, for example salary, travelling or consultancy services.
The following three cut-off times for submitting EUopSTART applications have been planned:
- 25 February
- May (date not yet announced)
- September (date not yet announced)
PLEASE NOTE: You can only apply for EUopSTART funding once the Commission has published or pre-published the work programme (WP) in which the call/topic in question is described. This means that you cannot apply for EUopSTART funding for calls described in the Horizon Europe programme's Pillar II 2025 work programmes until May, for example, as pre-publication of these is not expected until March.
