Insight into Horizon Europe Work 2026/2027 Programmes
The European Commission has published draft 2026/2027 Horizon Europe Work Programmes (subject to change) on the Comitology Register ahead of the formal adoption later this year.
Unlocking opportunities for research and innovation
Horizon Europe is the world’s largest research and innovation programme running from 2021 until 2027, providing over £80 billion in funding to address some of the greatest global challenges.
No matter your field – whether you’re a business, university, research institute, charity, or not-for-profit – you could be eligible to apply for Horizon Europe funding to advance your cutting-edge research and innovation, fostering lasting impact and meaningful change. Horizon Europe is an opportunity for a wide range of UK organisations to transform ambitious ideas into tangible outcomes.
Our UK National Contact Points can support you with these exciting potential funding opportunities and help you get the most out of Horizon Europe.
Get ready for 2026/2027
Below are all of the published Draft (subject to change) Work Programmes for 2026/2027. As with all Work Programme drafts, please be aware that topics can change both in their description and budget. Always refer to final published document for the definitive version to base your proposal on. However, these drafts will give you a good basis on which to start your preparations. The drafts span across Horizon Europe Pillars and Missions and we encourage people to review the documents to prepare for the upcoming calls and align their proposals with the programme’s evolving priorities. The early release of the Comitology Register offers increased transparency and an opportunity for early engagement by the research and innovation community. We will update the list further as other draft 2026/27 Work Programmes are made available.
