Horizon Europe Missions: 33 research projects sign grant agreements

Thirty-three projects selected under three calls of Horizon Europe Missions have signed their grant agreements with the European Climate, Infrastructure, and Environment Executive Agency (CINEA).

These projects aim to showcase climate resilience solutions to support the Adaptation to Climate Change Mission. They also intend to carry out actions that contribute to the Mission Restore Our Ocean and Waters by 2030.
Additionally, the projects will demonstrate an integrated approach to enhancing regional landscape water retention capacity, as outlined in the call that combines the Missions on Climate Adaptation, Oceans, and a Soil Deal for Europe.

With grants totaling around EUR 185 million, the projects gather over 560 beneficiaries from more than 40 countries, including SMEs, research institutions, local authorities, schools, and businesses.

The three calls closed on 20 September 2023, with 133 proposals submitted. A total of 15 evaluation panels, involving 105 experts, were conducted. Below is the breakdown per call:

• HORIZON-MISS-2023-CLIMA-01 call – nine projects were financed out of the 53 proposals received;
• HORIZON-MISS-2023-OCEAN-01 call – 23 projects have signed a grant out of the 76 proposals received;
• HORIZON-MISS-2023-CLIMA-OCEAN-SOIL-01 call – one project was financed out of the three proposals received.
