Who can apply directly to the Commission?
Consortia of organisations (companies, universities, research institutes, authorities and other entities) from EU Member States and countries associated to Horizon Europe, as set out in Annex B of the work programme. If the project uses satellite Earth observation, it must use Copernicus and/or Galileo/EGNOS.
How long does it take to prepare the application?
It depends on the complexity of the project and the documents you already have. The first step is the eligibility analysis, which tells you what needs to be prepared.
