This online training is aimed at interested parties based in Austria from science and industry who are planning a project submission (coordination or project participation) of cooperative projects in Horizon Europe. Cooperative projects are mainly found in the six thematic clusters of Pillar 2 (Global Challenges and European Industrial Competitiveness) and in the five EU missions of Horizon Europe.

The training content is particularly relevant for first-time project participants or coordinators. The prerequisite for participation is a concrete current project idea for Horizon Europe.

Please note: the training is not relevant for Horizon Europe Pillar 1 and 3 projects (EIC Accelerator, ERC and Marie Curie).

This training and the accompanying materials provide you with in-depth knowledge on all phases of preparing a Horizon Europe project (from the project idea to the application). Practical exercises will give you an understanding of important success criteria. Before the training you will receive some documents for preparation. Further documents will be made available to you after the training.
