The event will explain the specific characteristics of EIC Pathfinder Challenge calls, the role of programme managers and specifics of project portfolio management. Programme managers will introduce the thematic calls of 2025. The event will include matchmaking sessions to contact potential project partners.
The goal of EIC Pathfinder is to achieve the proof of principle and validate the scientific basis of a breakthrough technology. EIC Pathfinder challenges projects must focus on one of the thematic priorities that are defined each year. In 2025, these are:
- Biotech for Climate Resilient Crops and Plant-Based Biomanufacturing
- Generative-AI based Agents to Revolutionize Medical Diagnosis and Treatment of Cancer
- Towards autonomous robot collectives delivering collaborative tasks in dynamic unstructured construction environments
- Waste-to-value devices: Circular production of renewable fuels, chemicals and materials
Projects are usually carried out by international consortia. Usual consortia size is 5–7 partners from EU member states or countries associated to Horizon Europe; however, projects carried out by a single entity or by a consortium of 12 partners have also been supported.
