Research and innovation for the European Green Deal

This Green Deal Call differs in important aspects from previous Horizon 2020 calls. Given the urgency of the challenges it addresses, it aims for clear, discernible results in the short to medium-term, but with a perspective of long-term change. There are fewer, but more targeted, larger and visible actions, with a focus on rapid scalability, dissemination and uptake.

The projects funded under this call are expected to deliver results with tangible benefits in ten areas:n

Eight thematic areas reflecting the key work streams of the European Green Deal:n

1. Increasing climate ambitionn
2. Clean, affordable and secure energyn
3. Industry for a clean and circular economyn
4. Energy and resource efficient buildingsn
5. Sustainable and smart mobilityn
6. Farm to forkn
7. Biodiversity and ecosystemsn
8. Zero-pollution, toxic-free environmentsn

And two horizontal areas – strengthening knowledge and empowering citizens, which offer a longer-term perspective in achieving the transformations set out in the European Green Deal.

A Horizon 2020 Green Deal Call Info Day & Brokerage event will take place as part of the virtual European Research & Innovation Days that will take place from 22-24 September 2020.
