To strengthen the impact of European Partnerships, the Horizon Europe 2028-2034 proposal suggests streamlining implementation modes and using a portfolio approach to identify a limited set of coherent partnerships, with objectives closely aligned with the European Competitiveness Fund. Under this initiative, some European Partnerships will be implemented as joint undertakings in accordance with Article 187 TFEU, with clear added value, through a single establishing act with harmonised rules.
You are invited to provide your feedback and help build a more coherent and strategic approach to Treaty-based partnerships that reflects the lessons learned from Horizon Europe 2021-2027 and the ambitions of the next EU research and innovation programme.
The call for evidence is open for two more weeks.
