The European R&I Partnerships offer attractive funding opportunities for collaborative projects, some of which are organised according to different participation rules than Horizon Europe. As a rule, they are concluded when the objectives of Horizon Europe can be achieved more effectively than through other measures of the Framework Programme. Their activities are intended to complement other regional, national and European initiatives. Approximately 25% of the total Horizon Europe budget is earmarked for partnerships.

So far, 49 partnership proposals have been published in Horizon Europe for the period 2021-2024, with 10 more planned for the period 2025-2027. You can find out more about the existing partnerships, the candidates and their respective contact details here.

Most of the partnerships have emerged from predecessor initiatives and can therefore be categorised under the three different partnership types in Horizon Europe: Co-programmed, Co-funded and Institutionalised European Partnerships.

Here you can find more information on the different types of partnerships and the different call conditions of each partnership type.
