Who should attend the Event?
The event is designed for anyone based at UK organisations that is interested in exploring Horizon Europe Health research and innovation funding opportunities. The sessions are suitable both to newcomers and to those with experience who would like to know about the latest funding opportunities recently announced.
All types of UK organisations can apply for Horizon Europe research and innovation funding, including businesses (small and large), academia, research organisations (public and private), the NHS, hospitals, charities, NGOs, patient groups, regulators, public administrations (local, regional and national authorities) and many more.
However, due to its breadth and depth, Horizon Europe can be quite daunting, so this event aims to clearly present and summarise the different Horizon Europe Health funding opportunities, so that you can find out if there are any funding opportunities of interest to you.
When can I attend the Event?
This webinar is being repeated on a regular basis to enable you to find a session that works for you.
There are various funding opportunities closing on different dates across 2026 and 2027 depending on which call you are interested in. However, we would advise you to attend as soon as possible because the 2026 funding calls under the main Horizon Europe Health close on 16 April 2026.
Many parts of Horizon Europe fund consortia projects involving at least 3 countries, and it typically takes around 3 months or more to form a good consortium and to write a strong proposal, so the sooner you can attend one of these sessions, the more feasible it is to apply to the earliest deadlines.
