HORIZON-CL5-2026-07-D1-02: Advancing European climate risk assessments
HORIZON-CL5-2026-07-D1-03: Economics of climate change and cost of inaction
HORIZON-CL5-2026-07-D1-06: Closing knowledge gaps on Earth system science in support of global and regional assessments and climate policy
Date: November 6th, 2025, 12:00pm-2:00pm CDT
Location: Online
Register by: October 31, 2025
Event Format:
The virtual matchmaking event will begin with an overview from each of the host nations, highlighting their key research priorities and capacities. The session will then break into dedicated virtual rooms for each call with an opportunity to provide a three-minute pitch to potential partners. Participants can present their projects and organization. Your pitch should clearly articulate your expertise and how you can contribute to a consortium for a specific call. Participating organizations are also welcome to observe.
If you plan to pitch, please indicate your preferred call, and include a 200-word summary of your pitch, and your contact information when you register. You may also submit one slide to support your pitch. Please submit your slide to horizoneurope@ised-isde.gc.camailto:horizoneurope@ised-isde.gc.ca by November 1.
