Around €1,000,000 (lump sum grant; 1 award expected)

Supports collaboration, innovation, and community building in 2-dimensional materials technologies to strengthen Europe's leadership in emerging tech.

--- ## Description This funding opportunity aims to maximize the impact of EU-funded research and innovation in 2-dimensional materials (2DM)-based emerging and enabling technologies. The grant supports activities that foster synergies and collaboration among relevant EU-funded projects (e.g., the Graphene Flagship), facilitate roadmapping, innovation, and standardization in 2DM technologies, and maintain up-to-date European and global research and innovation (R&I) and funding landscapes. The program also emphasizes amplifying communication and dissemination efforts across the graphene and 2DM domain and enhancing interactions with national and regional initiatives, partnerships, and infrastructures relevant to advanced materials. --- ## Due Dates - April 15, 2026: Full application submission deadline (17:00:00 Brussels time) --- ## Funding Amount - Expected funding per project: Around €1,000,000 (lump sum) - Number of grants expected: 1 --- ## Eligibility - Open to legal entities established in EU Member States and associated countries as described in [Annex B of the Horizon Europe Work Programme General Annexes](https://ec.europa.eu/info/funding-tenders/opportunities/docs/2021-2027/horizon/wp-call/2026-2027/wp-15-general-annexes_horizon-2026-2027_en.pdf). - Entities from certain non-EU/non-associated countries may be eligible if specific provisions are made (see [Horizon Europe Programme Guide](https://ec.europa.eu/info/funding-tenders/opportunities/docs/2021-2027/horizon/guidance/programme-guide_horizon_en.pdf)). - Legal entities established in China are not eligible to participate in this Coordination and Support Action (CSA) under this destination. - Applicants must demonstrate financial and operational capacity. --- ## Application Process - Single-stage submission via the [EU Funding & Tenders Portal](https://ec.europa.eu/info/funding-tenders/opportunities/portal/screen/opportunities/topic-details/HORIZON-CL4-2026-04-DIGITAL-EMERGING-17?isExactMatch=true&status=31094501,31094502&order=DESC&pageNumber=8&pageSize=50&sortBy=startDate). - Application form templates and detailed instructions are available in the portal's Submission System. - Proposals must adhere to page limits and formatting described in the application guidelines ([see Annex A and E](https://ec.europa.eu/info/funding-tenders/opportunities/docs/2021-2027/horizon/wp-call/2026-2027/wp-15-general-annexes_horizon-2026-2027_en.pdf)). - Evaluation criteria and process are detailed in [Annex D and F](https://ec.europa.eu/info/funding-tenders/opportunities/docs/2021-2027/horizon/wp-call/2026-2027/wp-15-general-annexes_horizon-2026-2027_en.pdf). - The grant is provided as a lump sum. --- ## Additional Information - Beneficiaries intending to transfer ownership or grant an exclusive license of results must notify the granting authority in advance.
