Horizon 2020 (H2020) is the European Union Research and Innovation programme covering the timeframe from 2014 to 2020. Within H2020, the European Commission decided to launch a €1 billion call for research and innovation projects that respond to the climate crisis and help to protect the unique ecosystems and biodiversity. The Horizon 2020-funded European Green Deal Call will support the recovery from the coronavirus crisis by turning green challenges into innovation opportunities.
The projects funded under this call are expected to deliver results with tangible benefits in ten areas. Eight thematic areas reflecting the key work streams of the European Green Deal:
- Increasing climate ambition
- Clean, affordable and secure energy
- Industry for a clean and circular economy
- Energy and resource efficient buildings
- Sustainable and smart mobility
- Farm to fork
- Biodiversity and ecosystems
- Zero-pollution, toxic-free environments
And two horizontal areas - strengthening knowledge and empowering citizens, which offer a longerterm perspective in achieving the transformations set out in the European Green Deal.
The call includes opportunities for international cooperation.
Deadlines:
- For submission of the general proposal to the H2020 Green Deal Calls: 26 January 2021.
- For the submission of proposals to the participating FAPs or to CNPq: 1 March 2021.
