Pathfinder Open Hop On.pdf

The first Hop-On facility call for proposals under Horizon Europe programme was launched on January 27, 2022. The facility allows to integrate one additional partner from a Widening country (CZ included) into a consortium of an ongoing project funded from Pillar 2 or EIC Pathfinder (Pillar 3) calls unless the consortium already has partner(s) from the Widening countries. A list of projects eligible for Hop-On is gradually being uploaded to Funding & Tenders portal (FTOP). You can find a list of project selected under EIC Pathfinder Open 2021 call in the attachement (projects without a widening partner are indicatively marked in yellow). However, we recommend to follow the official information published on FTOP.

Hop-On cut-offs in 2022:

  • April 20
  • November 10

More details on the call are available here.
