Horizon Europe Cluster 6 - Call 2026-02 (farming, climate, rural communities)

Original title (EN): HORIZON-CL6-2026-02 - Call 02 (2026) - FARM2FORK, CLIMATE, COMMUNITIES

This call is closed. The submission deadline was 14 April 2026. It stays in the catalogue because these windows recur: ask to be alerted when it reopens.

What it funds

The most agricultural round of Cluster 6 2026, now closed. It comprised fourteen FARM2FORK topics, including protein crop competitiveness, innovative phytosanitary treatments, pesticide resistance, breeding tools for perennial crops, livestock circularity and advanced solutions for controlled environment agriculture; two CLIMATE topics, one of them on the water infrastructures of the future; and topic COMMUNITIES-01 on sustainable competitiveness in rural areas. Opening 14 January 2026 and a single deadline of 14 April 2026. It is useful for reading the programme's rhythm: the topics closest to irrigation and precision agriculture cluster in this early-year round, not in the spring one.

Who can apply

Consortia of research organisations, companies including SMEs, cooperatives and producer organisations, public bodies, advisory services. Multi-actor approach mandatory on most topics.

Access for non-resident businesses

Almeno 3 soggetti giuridici indipendenti da 3 diversi Stati membri o paesi associati, di cui almeno 1 in uno Stato membro, per RIA e IA. Nessun requisito di stabilimento locale.

Notes and caveats

CLOSED. The 'Closed' status and the 14 April 2026 deadline were verified against the official Funding & Tenders Portal data endpoint for topic HORIZON-CL6-2026-02-FARM2FORK-03, taken as a sample of the round; the full list of fourteen FARM2FORK topics comes from the work programme overview table and was not re-verified topic by topic. The overall call budget was not verified and remains null. The second stages of the two two-stage FARM2FORK topics remain active with a 15 September 2026 deadline, but are restricted to already shortlisted applicants.
