The programme Horizon Europe, part Cluster 6: Food, Bioeconomy, Natural Resources, Agriculture and Environment (CL6) has announced its calls and topics for international projects to be funded in 2025. Nearest deadlines are 4. 9. 2025.
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.
- CL6 calls on Funding & Tenders Portal – (hopefully) links to pages of the individual topics (a topic page includes i.a. basic information, topic description, links to relevant documents, frequently asked questions, interface for proposal submission.)
- Work Programme 2025: Food, Bioeconomy, Natural Resources, Agriculture and Environment – context and goals, description of all topics, budget information etc.
- List of CL6 topics compiled by the Czech National Contact Point (source in Czech).
- Recording of European Commission information days on these calls.
- About CL6 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
Topics in CL6 may be relevant for researchers in biology, but also in geography, social geography and demography, if their research can be useful in the fields of agriculture, forestry, and aquaculture, sustainable production and consumption of products of these sectors, related biodiversity, or climate change resilience.
Examples of topics that seem relevant for the Faculty of Science:
