Background
Horizon Europe Cluster 4 Industry supports the implementation of scientific projects, mainly to accelerate the green and digital transitions and to increase the EU’s autonomy in key strategic value chains for a resilient industry.
HaDEA supports industrial research and innovation by managing the ‘Industry’ part of Cluster 4 ‘Digital, Industry and Space’ of the Horizon Europe programme and the legacy programme Horizon 2020, as well as some horizontal activities such as CID & RAISE calls.
Further details on calls HORIZON-CL4-2027-01 and HORIZON-CL4-2027-02-two-stage can be found in the Horizon Europe Work Programme 2026-2027.
