Updates about submission are published in the part "Topic updates" under each call topic on the Funding and Tender Portal. Hereunder the publication of topic updates of some EIC Pathfinder and EIC Transition call topics. EIC Pathfinder The European Commission has announced a change in the ethics and security section in the following call topics (deadline for submission 28 October) HORIZON-EIC-2026-PATHFINDERCHALLENGES-01-01 HORIZON-EIC-2026-PATHFINDERCHALLENGES-01-02 HORIZON-EIC-2026-PATHFINDERCHALLENGES-01-03 The annexes, regarding the Part B Ethics section and Part B Security section, were indicated previously as mandatory. They may be useful for the Ethics and Security assessment of the selected for funding proposals, however, the Commission noticed that they create confusion for the applicants, because the basic information on Ethics and Security is already mandatory in Part A. The Commission has now removed these annexes from Part B and encourages applicants to check the submission and to make sure they comply with the corrected requirements. EIC Transition Regarding the call topic HORIZON-EIC-2026-TRANSITIONOPEN, with deadline 16 September: applicants specifying an eligible originating project with a 6-digit project number should note that the administrative forms (part A - Other questions) only accept 9-digit project number. To proceed with the submission, applicants should add three leading zeros (000) to the project number. Eligible originating project with a 9-digit do not need to add anything.
The European Commission, Directorate-General for Education, Youth, Sport and Culture (DG EAC) has shared communication material designed to help more businesses discover how they can improve their research and innovation capabilities through the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA). It is available both as a webpage and as downloadable files for both print and web use (a guide, slides and visuals). The MSCA Guide for Businesses is designed to explain, in simple terms, why companies should engage with MSCA and the different ways they can get involved. The material refers to two testimonies from companies that were involved in MSCA-funded Staff Exchanges projects: Remarkable - Rural Environmental Monitoring via ultra wide-ARea networKs And distriButed federated Learning with Portuguese IT company PDMFC. For more information visit the projects’ website and Cordis page PEPSA-MATE - Nanopeptides and Nanosaccharides for Advanced and Sustainable Materials with Italian company Nanofaber. Visit the projects’ website and Cordis page The communication material was developed to reach new businesses and strengthen the links between academia and non-academia across Europe.
AENAON, a Digital Europe-funded project, has opened the first of two cascade funding calls. Open Call 1 focuses on the initial validation, integration, and testing of AENAON technologies and services in realistic offshore wind and related critical-infrastructure environments. The objective of Open Call 1 is to strengthen the technical and operational foundations of the AENAON ecosystem by enabling external organisations to integrate with, test and validate AENAON technologies and services through targeted offshore-wind cybersecurity use cases. The call is open to single applicants or small consortia combining complementary expertise, where this strengthens the proposed use case and contributes to the objectives of the AENAON project. Detailed information on the call objectives and scope, the procedure and selection criteria can be found on the dedicated website of the AENAON project. Deadline to submit proposals is 13 November 2026.

The MareGraph project, ‘Towards an Interoperable Marine Knowledge Graph’, obtained funding under the Digital Europe topic ‘OPEN-AI – Public Sector Open Data for AI and Open Data Platform’. The project will increase the semantic, technical, and legal interoperability of three selected high-valued datasets (HVDs) all maintained by the Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ), which is one of the four partners of the project. This will allow the onboarding of essential marine datasets in the Common European Data Spaces. As such MareGraph will provide a structural component in the digital transition of the marine landscape. The numerous impacts of the project will benefit our seas globally in old and new ways to come.
