In light of the recent national budget cuts for research, EU funding presents a great opportunity for grant applications. That is why Research and Impact division has taken practical steps to prepare researchers for successful grant applications in 2026-2027 with the help of information sessions and the new visualization tool showcasing our successes in Horizon Europe since 2021.
Are you a researcher interested in joining or leading a collaborative research project on the topics covering climate, energy, sustainability, agriculture, digitalization, AI, cybersecurity, innovation, democracy, inclusivity, cultural heritage and many other topics?
You have an opportunity to get informed and prepare on time during the Horizon Europe Information Sessions on upcoming funding opportunities for 2026-2027 planned for November 2025. You will learn about the upcoming EU funding opportunities for the next two years, get insights on how to submit successful proposals and tips on how to build your research network. Before each session, we advise you to go through the relevant Draft Work Programs and select your topics of interest. You will have a chance to ask practical questions after the presentations.

New visualisation tool
Moreover, whether you are a researcher considering applying for EU funding, a dean or research director looking for strategic insights, or simply curious about the scope of Radboud’s EU-funded research, you can now use a new visualization tool to explore our participation in projects funded by Horizon Europe, the largest EU funding programme running since 2021.
The tool provides an accessible overview of Radboud’s involvement in past and ongoing EU-funded projects, either as a coordinator or as a partner. It makes it easier to filter by research themes or faculties, to identify successful collaborations, and to prepare for future funding opportunities. The tool was developed by the Research and Impact and Institutional Research divisions and will be updated regularly.
