Horizon Europe

International Projects

The Horizon Europe programme (2021–2027) is the European Union’s research and innovation programme, whose strategic plan sets out four key investment priorities:

to strengthen the EU’s open strategic autonomy by taking a leading role in the development of key digital, foundational, and emerging technologies, sectors, and value chains,
to restore European ecosystems and biodiversity and manage natural resources in a sustainable manner,
to make Europe the first digital, circular, climate-neutral, and sustainable economy,
to build a more resilient, inclusive, and democratic European society.

The programme also includes so-called missions that address specific global challenges - such as cancer, climate change, healthy oceans, and sustainable soil and food.

The Horizon Europe programme offers various types of grants - ranging from research and innovation projects to support and coordination events, and is open to broad international collaboration among universities, research institutions, and to practice.

Faculty of Physical Education and Sport at Charles University is a partner in the Horizon project Supporter, which focuses on promoting gender equality and preventing gender-based violence in sports environment. The project connects sports universities across Europe and develops innovative strategies for an inclusive and safe academic environment.
