Horizon Europe Missions - how to develop mission projects?

Horizon Europe has 5 missions:

1. Adaptation to Climate Change: support at least 150 European regions and communities to become climate resilient by 2030;

2. Cancer: working with Europe's Beating Cancer Plan to improve the lives of more than 3 million people by 2030 through prevention, cure and solutions to live longer and better;

3. Restore our Ocean and Waters by 2030;

4. 100 Climate-Neutral and Smart Cities by 2030;

5. A Soil Deal for Europe: 100 living labs and lighthouses to lead the transition towards healthy soils by 2030;

 

They "aim to mobilise and activate public and private actors, such as EU Member States, regional and local authorities, research institutes, farmers and land managers, entrepreneurs and investors to create real and lasting impact. Missions engage with citizens to boost societal uptake of new solutions and approaches."

 

We will introduce the characteristics of a mission project and help you finding the proper approach to develop the concept.

• What engagement mechanisms should be considered?
• What governance models could be used or developed?
• How to build the proper package of research actions - policy support - and legislative initiatives?
• What is citizen science and how to plan it in the proposal?
• How to find key performance and impact indicators for a mission project?
• When you develop a cluster project proposal - should you consider the connection to missions and if yes, how?

 

Who should attend:

• Researchers leading or participating in a mission proposal development process;

• Grants office people helping researchers understanding the concept of mission projects;

• Research managers working on engagement of stakeholders and citizens;

 

Why Europa Media?   

Europa Media is Europe’s leading provider of practical training courses on EU’s research and innovation programmes. We have 25 years of experience in developing and implementing projects under the Framework Programmes. Under Horizon 2020, we have been involved successfully in over 30 projects, coordinating six of them. Under the first work programmes of Horizon Europe, we are currently involved in 11 collaborative projects, coordinating one of them. Europa Media’s trainers are actual project managers, coordinators, and financial administrators of these projects, sharing their stories and providing you with hands-on tips based on their everyday experience. For the past 20 years, they have been supporting all the major institutions as well as several of the NCPs in the Member States and countries associated to the Framework Programmes. This event, as always, has been designed based on our direct hands-on experience with EU research and innovation proposals and is, therefore, 100% practice driven. Our practical approach has attracted over 10,000 participants from all over the world in the past 15 years. Read more about our projects here.
