If you are interested in one of the topics, but you don’t know, how to find a project coordinator or partners, please, contact the Project Management Department and we’ll recommend to you some networking opportunities.

If you have international research contacts and your research can be potentially used in applied research and in innovation, but cannot find a suitable topic in Horizon Europe, contact us and we can try to find a topic for you.

• CL2 calls on Funding & Tenders Portal – links to pages of the individual topics will be published here (a topic page includes i.a. basic information, topic description, links to relevant documents, frequently asked questions, interface for proposal submission.)

Projects are carried out by international consortia with significant participation of users of results of the projects, the usual consortia size is ca. 8–25 entities (depending on scope of the topic) from EU countries or countries associated to Horizon Europe. Each project proposal must focus on one of the specific topics prescribed by the programme for the given year. About this type of projects on faculty website

CL2 contains topics potentially relevant for researchers in the fields of social sciences and humanities – or with an overlap into these fields.
