Success Stories Widening 2021-2025

The NCP_WIDERA.NET project has published on 21 August 2025 a new document with selected Success Stories from the Widening part that aims to bridge the knowledge gaps and enhance access to funding possibilities under the Framework Programmes for R&I. The projects coordinators have contributed to the stories by sharing their experience. The stories cover most of the calls in the Widening part of Horizon Europe programme and show how advanced partners can increase the capacity of an institution in a widening country and how to fill the knowledge gap between the advanced partners and less experienced entities in low performing Member States (MS) and Associated Countries (AC). Split into sections, the Success Stories compilation covers projects from Teaming (3 projects), Twinning (3), Excellence Hubs (3), European Excellence Initiative (4), ERA Talents (3) and Hop On (1). Czechia is represented by an Excellence Hubs project (CHESS - coordinated by MU Brno) and European Excellence Initiative EEI (BETTER Life – coordinated by ČZU in Prague).
