Horizon Europe - Cluster 6 (Food, Bioeconomy, Natural Resources, Agriculture and Environment)

What it funds

European framework programme for research and innovation on food, bioeconomy, natural resources, agriculture and the environment. Projects are collaborative and transnational and involve consortia with partners from several Member States. At the verification date the destinations with a single-stage deadline of 17 September 2026 are open (Biodiversity and ecosystem services; Circular economy and bioeconomy sectors; Clean environment and zero pollution), as is the EU Mission A Soil Deal for Europe with a deadline of 23 September 2026, together with the opening on 25 August 2026 of the destination Innovative governance, environmental observations and digital solutions in support of the Green Deal.

Who can apply

Consortia of legal entities established in EU Member States and in associated countries: universities, research bodies, businesses (including SMEs), public bodies, associations. Agricultural and agri-industrial businesses may take part as project partners or as case studies/living labs.

Sectoral scope

No sectoral exclusion. Agricultural businesses typically take part as partners in consortia led by research bodies, not as lead applicants; the funding covers R&I and demonstration activities, not ordinary productive investments.

Notes and caveats

Verified on rea.ec.europa.eu. The deadline field reports the first relevant deadline (17/09/2026); other confirmed deadline: 23/09/2026 for the Mission Soil. Budget for the individual call and topic lists are not present on the REA page: consult the Funding & Tenders Portal, which is the only authoritative source for topic ID, budget and conditions. The co-financing rates indicated are the standard Horizon Europe rules, not reported on the verified page.
