FAQ on widening measures within WIDERA Work Programme 2023-2025

This document is focused on widening measures within the WIDERA part of Horizon Europe programme (especially Destination 1 and 2 of the WIDERA Work Programme 2023- 2025) and on issues, relevant for the preparation of project proposals under Widening calls for proposals.

The FAQ are not an official document of the European Commission, as they stem out of the discussions within the WIDERA NCP network, sent FAQs from some NCPs “personal compilations”, next to the FAQs officially published by the European Commission and the Research Executive Agency within specific calls for proposals. They are mainly not duplicated, but in some cases, some of the questions are listed in both sources.

However, they serve as a valuable resource not only for the Widening National Contact Points (particularly those with less experience), but also for the European Commission in drafting or refining calls for proposals and updating their FAQs on the EC’s Funding & Tender Opportunities portal, as well as through the Research Enquiry Service (RES) for the upcoming Work Programme under Horizon Europe.

The FAQs are part of the Task 4.3 Support to National Info Days & seminars on Widening instruments and issues (Task Leader NARD (MD) and Task Co-leader MIZS, (SI) within the NCP_WIDERA.NET project.
