The Info Day: Widening Calls
On 22 January 2026, an online Horizon Europe Info Day will take place, focusing on the Widening calls within the WIDERA part of the programme. The event will provide an overview of the upcoming topics of the 2026–2027 Work Programme, including strengthening research capacities, supporting excellence, developing institutions in underperforming regions and building international partnerships.
The programme will include presentations by representatives of the European Commission, practical information on the different types of Widening calls and recommendations for preparing successful project proposals. Participants will gain insight into evaluation criteria, expected project impacts and opportunities for engagement across the various Widening schemes.
The event is intended for research and higher education institutions, public authorities, research centres and other organisations planning to apply for support under the Widening calls. For more information and registration, please visit the event website.
