Total cost

The total amount of money invested in the project. The total cost includes EU contribution as well as other project costs not covered by EU funding. It is expressed in euros.

€ 1 999 928,00

EU contribution

Amount of money, by way of direct subsidy or donation, from the EU budget to finance an action intended to help achieve an EU policy objective or the functioning of a body, which pursues an aim of general EU interest or has an objective forming part of, and supporting, an EU policy. The sum of the EU contributions of all participants in a project is equal to the grant amount.

Investment in EU policy priorities

Projects in the first pillar of 'Horizon Europe', funded by the European Research Council (ERC) and Marie-Sklodowska-Curie (MSCA), focus on scientific excellence but are often not directly linked to specific applications. Connections to, for example, the climate system and climate policy only become evident over time. Therefore, tracker values for these projects are not assigned based on each project individually, but consider the relevance of the specific scientific fields. The distribution of tracker values is done in groups or batches according to the panel (ERC or MSCA) that selected the projects.

Digital agenda

Digital agenda - 40%

This tracker monitors Horizon Europe’s financial contribution to the development of digital technologies and the digitisation of the economy and society (known as ‘Digital transition’).

Clean air

Clean air - 40%

This tracker monitors the Horizon Europe’s financial contribution to the clean air policy (National Emission Ceiling Directive) aiming to improve ambient air quality and tackle air pollution, to protect the environment and human health.

Artificial Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence - 0%

This tracker monitors Horizon Europe’s financial contribution to the development and deployment of AI-based technologies and solutions. Projects that develop AI-tools as part of their research method are included

Climate action

Climate action - 100%

This tracker monitors the Horizon Europe’s financial contribution to both mitigating climate change (e.g., contributions to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions) and adapting to climate change by building resilience (e.g., regarding floods, droughts, spatial planning and better governance, adaptation to changing climate in value chains, etc.).

Biodiversity

Biodiversity - 40%

This tracker monitors the Horizon Europe’s financial contribution to Europe’s biodiversity’s path to recovery including species protection, ecosystem conservation, and habitat rehabilitation, all essential for resilience in climate adaptation and addressing ecosystem services but also environmental crime and the health-environment connection.
