Draft EC Work Programme 2023 – 2024 published!

Horizon Europe Work programme calls 2023 - 2024
The provisional European Commission’s Work Programme 2023 – 2024, dedicated to climate, energy and mobility, has just been officially published.
This draft is made public before the adoption of the Work Programme to provide potential participants with the currently expected main lines of this Work Programme. Only the adopted Work Programme will have legal value.
The adoption of the Work Programme will be announced on the Horizon Europe website and on the Funding and Tenders Portal. It will help to accelerate the dual green and digital transition and to transform our economy, industry, and society to achieve climate neutrality in Europe by 2050.

Reducing transport’s impact on the climate and natural environment is the most urgent priority, to meet COP21 Paris Agreement commitments and align with broader EU transport, climate, and energy goals. Research plays a crucial role in achieving the ambitious targets the EU has set in these key areas. Transforming transport will also be key to delivering the EU’s next research and innovation funding programme, particularly the Horizon Europe Mission area on climate-neutral and smart cities.

The WP has :

  • The EU Missions aims to address some of our society’s greatest challenges. They are bold and inspirational, with clear objectives that are time-bound, realistic, measurable, and targeted.
  • 6 destinations (major chapters), within which 189 calls for proposals are made. The one concerning the CCAM Partnership is Destination 6 – Safe and resilient transport and smart mobility services for passengers and goods.
For 2023, you will find the following calls to go out with their budgets allocated and the estimated number of projects to be funded:
