Summary
Forthcoming EU call topic HORIZON-NEB-2027-01-PARTICIPATION-02 · HORIZON Innovation Actions. Part of call HORIZON-NEB-2027-01: Innovative models for neighbourhoods that integrate beauty, inclusiveness and sustainability. Opens 2027-05-05; next deadline 2027-12-01. Topic page: https://ec.europa.eu/info/funding-tenders/opportunities/portal/screen/opportunities/topic-details/HORIZON-NEB-2027-01-PARTICIPATION-02
