In addition to protection during the collision, the post-crash phase, immediately after the collision, is critical to the consequences of a road accident.

Vehicle fires are a major problem in this post-crash phase. Although there are many similarities with fires in internal combustion engine vehicle (ICEV) fires, electric vehicle battery fires pose a number of new challenges for emergency responders and everyone who handles electric vehicles post-accident, including towing, repair, storage, rescue and destruction operations.

Preventing hazardous emissions at source is key to reach the 2030 pollution reduction targets, including substances of concern, very high concern and emerging pollutants (e.g., PFAS and endocrine disrupting chemicals) as defined in relevant pieces of legislation (e.g., REACH, ESPR, Batteries regulation).

Bio-based innovative solutions, also in line with the recent initiative on biotechnology and biomanufacturing and the industrial carbon management strategy, should be designed to provide the solutions to replace hazardous substances in industrial assets and in final products and materials.

Bio-based materials and products within the scope of this topic do not include food/feed, biofuels and bioenergy.

Accelerating uptake through open proposals for advanced SME innovation

Opened

Code: 37092 | Identifier Code: HORIZON-CL3-2025-01-SSRI-04 | Programme name: 2939 | Sub-program: Civil security for society (Cluster 3) (2021-2027) | Start submission calls: 12/06/2025 | End submission calls: 12/11/2025

Europe’s 25 million small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are the backbone of the EU economy. SMEs can bring innovation to societal challenges, including the security of EU citizens. Innovative SMEs and high-tech start-ups can transform and modernise EU security capabilities.

However, despite the innovation capacity of EU SMEs, these often experience difficulties in finding their way to the public markets. These include red tape in public contracts, access to new customers, access to finance, industrial competition and IP valorisation. These difficulties are exacerbated in markets that show restrictions of different kind, as it is the case of security.

Knowing that SMEs require additional support to reach the security buyers and that the collaboration opportunities offered by the projects of the Pillar II of Horizon Europe can be a catalyst for uptake, this topic aims to offer a collaborative environment for small and medium innovators to tailor their innovations to the specific needs of civil security end-users.

We are facing a triple interconnected global crisis of climate change, biodiversity loss and pollution.

Water is at the heart of these challenges. We can no longer ignore the global water crisis. The global hydrological cycle is changing.

Over the last three consecutive years, we have also witnessed not only alarming droughts in many parts of the EU, reaching as far as the eastern and northern countries that had previously been spared, but also catastrophic incidents of pollution and deadly floods throughout Europe.

Preparing farmers, their workforce and advisors to the future of agriculture by providing the relevant knowledge, skills and competences at the right time and place

Closed

Code: 37050 | Identifier Code: HORIZON-CL6-2025-03-GOVERNANCE-14 | Programme name: 2939 | Sub-program: Food, Bioeconomy, Natural Resources, Agriculture and Environment (Cluster 6)(2021-2027) | Start submission calls: 06/05/2025 | End submission calls: 24/09/2025

Knowledge, skills and competences are key factors for a more competitive, sustainable and resilient agriculture.

However, in many EU Member States there are growing concerns about the lack and mismatch of knowledge, skills and competences among farmers working in diverse and rapidly changing environments.

In order to be prepared for and benefit from the various climatic, environmental, technological, socio-economic and other relevant drivers of change, the rural community, in particular farmers, their workforce and their advisors, should be able to acquire and put into practice the relevant knowledge, skills and competences, at the right time and in the right place, in a lifelong pathway.

Under this topic, proposals are welcome to address new, upcoming or unforeseen challenges and/or creative or disruptive solutions for improving capabilities of practitioners for the secured and facilitated checks of crossings of external borders. Contexts and scenarios in Europe’s border regions that may in the future be impacted by geopolitical instabilities or tensions from outside the EU, and need sustained and improved surveillance and reaction capabilities, could be particularly considered. Moreover, mechanisms for detecting the presence of threats in travel flows should be investigated. If they relate to some of the topics covered by Horizon Europe Calls Effective Management of EU External Borders 2021-2022 or 2023-2024, the proposals should convincingly explain how they will build on and not duplicate them.

Proposals may also address capabilities related to possible future digitalised travel credentials (DTC), including though not limited to: Type-1 and Type-2 and forward integration with secure digital citizenship wallet(s); identification and verification in the context of border checks; optimisation of resources in the context of border checks.
