The European Commission will hold its next ‘Lump Sum Funding in Horizon Europe: How does it work? How to write a proposal?’ event on Thursday 12 February 2026.
Details of the event, including the agenda, are available below.
Further information about lump sums in Horizon Europe can be found on the Commission’s dedicated website. This section of the Funding & Tenders Portal includes links to useful guides, Q&A and tips from participants in lump sum projects.
Aim of the event
These information events are the best way to find out more about the lump sum funding approach in Horizon Europe, including how write a proposal and manage a lump sum project.
With the share of lump sum calls and topics in Horizon Europe increasing each year, applicants interested in learning more about this funding approach are strongly encouraged to participate in this or future events that form part of the Commission’s wider information campaign on lump sum funding.
Furthermore, lump sum funding is expected to become the default funding approach in the next next EU Framework Programme for Research and Innovation (FP10), also called Horizon Europe (2028-2035).
