are a new way to bring concrete solutions to some of the EU/world's greatest challenges. They have ambitious goals and will deliver concrete results by 2030. The five EU Missions are as follows:

Partnerships

bring together private and/or public entities to address the world's most pressing challenges through joint research and innovation initiatives. The goal of partnerships is to enable the European Commission (EC) and entities from European Union (EU) member states, associated countries, the private sector, non-profit organizations, and other stakeholders to develop a common vision, gather necessary investments, and implement initiatives through joint activities.

were launched under the first Horizon Europe strategic planning period (2021-2024). The identifies nine additional European partnership candidates.

Pillar 1 - Excellent Science

ERC Synergy Grants

The program will open for applications on February 17, 2027. The deadline for applications is May 11, 2027. The application and guides will become avaialble in February on the EU Funding & Tenders portal.

Synergy grants address very ambitious research questions that cannot be answered by 1 single PI and their group.
Any field of research
2-4 principal investigators
Maximum €10M for 6 years
Yearly call
Canadian researchers can apply for ERC grants. For ERC Synergy grants, one of the principal investigators may be based in Canada, but cannot be the leading principal investigator.

Principal investigators for ERC grants must spend at least 50% of their work time on the project and at least 50% of their work time in a EU Member State or associated country under Pillar 1. The remaining time may be spent in Canada.

Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions

Note: Canada's association status for Pillar 1 programs, Excellent Science (MSCA, ERC) has not changed. Canadian researchers could receive funding as an associated partner, but not as the coordinating institution (the lead).
