Horizon Europe Missions are a new programming approach under Pillar II – Global Challenges and European Industrial Competitiveness, designed with a horizontal, inter-cluster structure. They tackle major social and environmental challenges through bold, measurable objectives to be achieved within clear timelines. By mobilizing researchers, businesses, policymakers, and citizens, the Missions aim to accelerate innovation and deliver tangible benefits in areas such as climate adaptation, cancer, oceans, soil health, and climate-neutral cities.
