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

CL3 contains topics potentially relevant for researchers in geography and also other fields – if the results of their research be applied in security – e.g., (natural) disaster resilience, external border security, forensics, crime related societal issues.

Examples of topics that seem relevant for the Faculty of Science:
