La Commissione europea investe sulla transizione verde e digitale per garantire la neutralità climatica in Europa entro il 2050

La Commissione Europea ha lanciato due nuovi bandi nell'ambito del Programma di Lavoro 2025 di Horizon Europe, Cluster 5 – Energia.

Queste call si rivolgono a università, centri di ricerca, PMI, grandi imprese e consorzi internazionali. I progetti devono allinearsi agli obiettivi del Green Deal europeo e contribuire alla transizione digitale e verde dell'Europa.

Il termine per la presentazione delle proposte è fissato al 17 febbraio 2026.

In particolare, i bandi rientrano nelle seguenti destination:

• Fornitura di energia sostenibile, sicura e competitiva (Sustainable, secure and competitive energy supply) 
• Uso efficiente, sostenibile e inclusivo dell'energia (Efficient, sustainable and inclusive energy use)

La Call - Cluster 5 Call 01-2026 (HORIZON-CL5-2026-01)

ll bando finanzia soluzioni cross-settoriali per la transizione climatica, soluzioni pulite e competitive per il trasporto e servizi di trasporto sicuri, resilienti e di mobilità intelligente per passeggeri e merci. Il budget complessivamente disponibile per questa call è 188 milioni di Euro, per i seguenti topic:
