Success rates in Horizon Europe (June 2023)

Almost three years into Horizon Europe, time to look back and analyse winning and unsuccessful proposals, evaluators’ feedback from ESRs, success rates, competition across different Clusters, calls and work programme topics – all with a view to getting better prepared for the upcoming deadlines and submissions. 

Have your say! This live webinar is intended to provide an interactive platform for you to share your experiences and impressions from your Horizon Europe proposals, while also hearing our experiences and stories from the dozens of successful and unsuccessful proposals under the first rounds of Horizon Europe calls. 

  • Is competition really tough across Horizon Europe?  

  • Have you ever been in a proposal submitted as the only proposal under a HE topic? 

  • How about those topics receiving hundreds of proposals? 

  • How much influence does the partnership have in the success of proposals? 

  • What happens to proposals going into the reserve list? 

  • What issues were systematically highlighted by the evaluators in Evaluation Summary Reports? 

  • What approaches worked well in presenting specific proposal sections (e.g., Impact) for a positive evaluation? 

Join us to hear our take on these and to share your views. We look forward to this collective experience with you!
