If you plan to participate in a proposal submitted to a Horizon Europe call, please, contact well in advance the Project Management Department (Martina Holíková, martina.holikova@natur.cuni.cz).
See also Horizon Europe – practical information on faculty website.

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.

• CL3 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.)
• Draft Work Programme 2025: Civil security for society (source) – context and goals, description of all topics, budget information etc.
• About CL3 by European Commission.

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:
