Detailed Call Description
The “European Partnerships” Programme offers the possibility of participation of entities from Cyprus in international research and innovation projects in sectors and thematic areas of great importance for the country. At the same time, it promotes the extroversion, cooperation and networking of research organizations and enterprises of Cyprus with entities from other countries through their participation in the projects implemented within the framework of the European Partnerships in which the country participates.
European Partnerships are initiatives in the framework of which the EU, national authorities and/or the private sector jointly commit to support the development and implementation of a programme of research and innovation activities.
The partnerships will:
- address the complex challenges outlined in Horizon Europe, such as accelerating the transition to a climate-neutral and circular society and economy;
- support the achievement of EU priorities such as the European Green Deal, “A Europe fit for the digital age”, “An economy that works for people” and “A stronger Europe in the world”;
- build on impact by developing a wide range of R&I activities, from concept to demonstration and validation, and to activities supporting market, regulatory and societal uptake;
and - contribute to a stronger European Research Area (ERA) by avoiding duplication of efforts, creating critical scale investments and enhancing synergies between programmes.
