Horizon Impact Award

The European Commission have announced the Horizon Impact Award, and we would like to encourage all completed FCH JU projects to apply!

Horizon Impact Award is dedicated to EU-funded projects whose results have created societal impact across and beyond Europe. The prize acknowledges and rewards the most influential and impactful projects under Horizon 2020, the EU research and innovation programme, and its predecessor, the 7th Framework Programme (FP7, 2007-2013). The contest is open to FP7 and Horizon 2020 projects that have been completed and that can provide proof of the impact they have created. Each of the five winners will receive €10 000.

This prize aims to illustrate the wider socio-economic benefits of EU investment in research and innovation and to encourage project beneficiaries on how to best manage and utilise research results.

The five winners will be announced and awarded at the R&I Days in Brussels in September, with more than 4,000 high-level participants.

The contest is now open for applications to all legal entities, individuals or teams, that have completed a FP7 or Horizon 2020 project.
