Deadline for pre proposal submission is 18 February 2026, 14:00 CET.

Deadline for full proposal submission is 08 July 2026, 14:00 CEST.

The submission of a pre proposal is compulsory to submit a full proposal. Full proposal is on invitation only, subject to a positive selection of your pre proposal.

Pre proposals can be submitted via the submission system and by the coordinator of a pre proposal only. Pre proposals by other means are not accepted and will be rejected. To submit a pre proposal, a coordinator of your consortium needs to be appointed who will then register to the submission platform (COORDINATOR REGISTRATION) and will then invite all partners to the pre proposal.

Please carefully read the “call announcement” and familiarise yourself with the supporting call documents, prior pre proposal preparation. All documents can be found in the navigation bar, CALL DOCUMENTS.

Please note that only the coordinator can carry out and complete the pre proposal submission on behalf of each applying research consortium. However, each partner needs to complete his/her part of the partner profile.

For all partners of an applying consortium, it is strongly recommended to contact their respective funder contact point to clarify any questions well in advance of the submission. The contact details can be found in Annex IX (see CALL DOCUMENTS).
