On 31 March 2023, the European Commission (EU) adopted the new Work Program 2023-2024 for Cluster 3: Civil Security for Society (Multisectoral Priority 3: “Civil Protection for Society”) of the Framework Program for Research and Innovation, “Horizon Europe”. The new Work Program for Cluster 3 includes a total of 48 topics, and has a budget of €367,8 million.
The Work Program is available here and all upcoming Calls for Proposals are available in the Funding & Tender Opportunities Portal.
The aim of Cluster 3 is to offer new solutions to issues related to citizen safety and cyber security, the prevention of risks from natural and man-made disasters, and the resilience of European society. In addition, learning through the challenges that arose during the response to the COVID-19 pandemic, it seeks to develop expertise and cross-sectoral tools for prevention, mitigation and preparedness in crisis management, including health crises.
Interested parties can learn more about the Thematic Units of the Work Programme, participation opportunities for End Users and researchers from the Social Sciences and Humanities, and find useful material through the newsletter here.
