Horizon Europe
Pillar I / EXCELLENT SCIENCE
European Research Council
Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA)
Pillar II / GLOBAL CHALLENGES & EUROPEAN INDUSTRIAL COMPETITIVENESS
Horizon Europe’s second pillar consists of six clusters and five missions. It is consistent with global challenges from the Sustainable Development Goals. Its primary goal is improving human lives and protecting the planet for future generations, but also developing European competitiveness in technology.
Second pillar calls are consortium projects that require participation of at least three legal entities, one of which needs to be established in an EU Member State and the other two established in a different Member State or a third country associated with Horizon Europe. An exception considers Coordination and Support Actions (CSA) which requires at least one legal entity.
