Horizon Europe, the EU’s framework programme for research and innovation, currently has a range of calls for proposals open under its thematic clusters. The fourth call for proposals of the Digital Europe Programme, a new EU funding programme focused on bringing digital technology to businesses, citizens and public administrations, is also open.
Luxinnovation is the NCP for both programmes and is available to support all Luxembourg-based players preparing to submit proposals. “We can help you ensure that your proposals are well aligned with the objectives of the call concerned and fulfil all criteria. We also check that the proposal clearly expresses the expected impact of the suggested project – a dimension that is crucial to successfully compete for funding,” says Sanna Alaranta, Senior Advisor – European R&D and Innovation Support at Luxinnovation.
The NCP team is available at all times to answer legal, financial and other questions. “We are also happy to do a complete review of full proposals,” Ms Alaranta points out. “A full proposal check done by your NCP can help you to detect weaknesses that must be addressed for your project to stand a chance. This check can therefore make all the difference for being successful. To do this in the best way possible, we invite proposers to send us their drafts two weeks before the submission deadline.”
