Experimentation and exchange of good practices for value creation

This program broadly funds organizations, entities, and individuals across the European Union, with a core objective to enhance and reform the European Research and Innovation (R&I) system by improving knowledge valorisation and fostering collaboration.

This program funds projects focused on translating research and innovation results into practical solutions for the economy and society. It supports both experimentation with new approaches and the transfer of existing best practices in knowledge valorisation, targeting a range of societal and economic challenges.

The funding is provided as grants, with a maximum contribution of 1,000,000 € per project. Projects are generally expected to run for 2-3 years, with flexibility for shorter durations if justified by the workplan.

Applicants must adhere to general and specific conditions outlined in the Horizon Europe Work Programme General Annexes, covering admissibility, eligibility, financial capacity, and legal setup. Consortium formation is a key requirement, emphasizing multi-sectoral collaboration to ensure broad impact.

The application process for this program followed a single-stage submission, with a clearly defined deadline. Proposals were rigorously evaluated based on established criteria, and results were communicated through official channels.

The program is founded on the core legal instruments of Horizon Europe, including its Framework Programme and Specific Programme Decisions. It also adheres to broader EU financial regulations and specific guiding principles for knowledge valorisation.
