Canada's role in Horizon Europe:
On July 3, 2024, the Government of Canada and the European Commission (EC) signed an agreement allowing Canada's enhanced participation in Horizon Europe under Pillar 2. Canadians can now access a broader range of research opportunities, and applications from Canadian researchers and innovators will be reviewed as members of consortia in Pillar 2 calls. Pillar 2 aims to solve some of the world's biggest problems. It includes activities pursued by the Joint Research Centre, which provides the European Union (EU) and national policymakers with independent scientific evidence and technical support. Canadians can still participate in other pillars open to international partners. As an associated country, Canadians applying for funding under Pillar 2 can now:
Join and lead consortium projects
Receive direct funding
Collaborate with European partners and other associated countries in various research and innovation areas
Benefit from increased collaboration and networking
Expand the reach and citation impact of their research
Showcase their expertise on the international stage, potentially leading to commercialization of tangible solutions to global challenges
Retain their Intellectual Property Rights for awarded projects
Canada now has a greater say in shaping the direction, objectives, and outcomes of Horizon Europe projects. Association allows countries outside the EU to participate under similar conditions as EU Member States. Associated countries also take part in program development and can influence future funding calls. Before the country's associated status, Canadians participated in Horizon Europe projects as a third party, which required them to access other sources of funding or provide in-kind support. They could not lead consortia and were limited to projects that Canadian research organizations could join.

Note: Deadlines may vary depending on the Cluster and Call that you are applying to. Contact a GFO as soon as possible to confirm internal deadlines.
In addition to the external funding agency’s submission procedures, this opportunity must also be submitted for Departmental, HSS Faculty, and Research Initiatives and Services (RIS) institutional reviews and approvals via Memorial's Researcher Portal (RP). In order to facilitate the HSS Faculty’s administrative review, please ensure "Heather C. O'Brien (Grants Facilitator)" and “Matthew Milner (Grants Facilitator)” are added as "Team Members" on your RP file.
In accordance with University-wide approval protocols, all tabs of the RP file must be completed, the completed application must be uploaded to the “Attachments” tab, all supporting documentation including support for cash and in-kind commitments and/or letters of support must also be uploaded, and “Submit” must be pressed prior to the HSS internal deadline listed below. HSS cannot guarantee completion of an administrative review for application files that are incomplete and/or are submitted after the HSS deadline. For more detailed submission instructions and information, please consult the HSS Research Support Services website.
If you plan to apply to this competition or other research funding opportunities (as either PI or CI), e-mail an HSS Grants Facilitator, Heather C. O’Brien (HSSResearchAdmin@mun.ca or 864-8603) or Matthew Milner (HSSResearchGrants@mun.ca or 864-8050), to notify the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences of your intent to apply. E-mailing the intent to apply as early as possible will help to facilitate an efficient review. A Grants Facilitator can answer any questions you may have about internal or external submission procedures and may also be able to help with proposal development.
