What are EU Missions?
EU Missions are a new way to bring concrete solutions to some of our greatest challenges. They have ambitious goals and will deliver concrete results by 2030.
They put research and innovation into a new role, combined with new forms of governance and collaboration, as well as by engaging citizens. EU Missions are a novelty of the Horizon Europe research and innovation programme for the years 2021-2027.
Main focus
The event focuses on connecting the EU Missions-related participants from various institutions. The aim is to provide a unique place designed for these participants, introduce the actual open calls and help them create a powerful project consortium. The EU Missions 1 & 4 are offering a variety of topics currently available for submission of project applications.

Harmonmissions - "bridge the gap"
The project's main objective is to harmonise the implementation of the European Missions on the Danube region level. We observe significant disparities in the level of understanding, setup, and implementation of the European Missions among European regions. The need for cooperation lies in the fact that climate change cannot be tied to a specific country. On the contrary, it transcends national borders, and therefore, there is a need to cooperate to tackle climate change.
Harmonmissions developed a specific set of three platforms which can help EU Missions' potential applicants to find all relevant information.
-
SHARED Platform - Through tools like the Project Repository, Event Calendar, and Knowledge Base, SHARED connects stakeholders to vital resources and insights, making collaboration easier and more effective in achieving climate adaptation and sustainability goals.
-
European Mission Observatory (EMO) - Search for actual funding opportunities or begin your long-term matchmaking directly on EMO.
-
Climate City Contract - Presents experiences, tips and inspiration on preparation, ecosystem creation and implementation of the CCC from cities that have already embarked or are preparing to embark on a transition path to climate neutrality.
The importance of networking
The need for cooperation lies in the fact that climate change cannot be tied to a specific country. On the contrary, it transcends national borders, and therefore, there is a need to cooperate to tackle climate change.
Researchers, Universities, Laboratories, Cities, SMEs, Regional and National public administrations or Industrials, if you are willing to tackle climate change or be an active part of climate-neutral cities, this is the right place to be. Keep in mind that to take part in EU Missions, you need to be an eligible applicant for Horizon Europe calls.
The brokerage part will be all secured by the B2Match platform and its functionality. Every participant is allowed to search potential partners within the participant's database and then easily request an online 15-minute meeting. These meetings will also take place directly through the B2match platform.
We strongly recommend making sure your profile is filled in, as the validation process will be strict, and those who do not have their profile properly filled out will not be validated.
