Association to Horizon Europe is the deepest form of collaboration offered by the European Union (EU) in research and innovation. As of 2024, Canadian researchers are eligible to collaborate in calls under Pillar II of the program on equal terms with entities from the EU Member States.
The primary focus of Pillar II is on shared global challenges: climate, energy, digital economy, and health.
Canadian researchers now have access to networks of research in the EU and 18 other countries associated with Horizon Europe.
Please note that Horizon Europe is a very competitive program (on average, the success rate is 20%). We highly recommend that researchers join a consortium.
