This Horizon Europe Coordination and Support Action (CSA) aims to strengthen the EU's leading position in global digital standardisation and foster international cooperation in key digital technologies. It seeks to align visions with like-minded countries, promote European values, and ensure a human-centred and ethical development of digital and industrial technologies. The program facilitates collaboration and knowledge exchange to accelerate the uptake and societal impact of digital innovations.

Who is Funded

This program targets a wide array of organizations and entities engaged in ICT standardisation, research, and innovation, extending its reach globally through strategic international cooperation. Its overarching objective is to drive a human-centred and ethical digital transformation.

What is Funded

This program funds initiatives across diverse digital and industrial technology sectors, with eligible costs structured as lump sum grants. It primarily supports activities that facilitate standardisation and cooperation, rather than direct research and development.

Type and Scope of Funding

The program provides lump sum grants, with a fixed funding amount per project. The overall program aligns with the Horizon Europe timeframe.

Conditions and Requirements

Applicants must adhere to specific conditions for admissibility, consortium formation, and budget management, with particular attention to the use of lump sum contributions and the exclusion of certain Hungarian entities.

Application Procedure

The application process is a single-stage submission via the Electronic Submission Service. Proposals are evaluated based on criteria detailed in the Work Programme General Annexes, with results communicated to applicants.

The program is legally founded on key Horizon Europe regulations and governed by additional EU financial rules and specific work programme annexes, with all official texts accessible through the Funding & Tenders Portal.
