Opening and deadline dates for the 2027 rounds read on 27 August 2026 in the call timetable of the Cluster 6 2026-2027 work programme published on the Funding & Tenders Portal. The budget per call and the 2027 topic codes were not verified one by one: they must be read in the work programme. Indicative dates can be changed by a work programme amendment, which is not uncommon.
