The European Commission will organise the Horizon Europe Cluster 6 Info Days on 22–23 January 2026, providing an overview of upcoming research and innovation funding opportunities in the areas of food, bioeconomy, natural resources, agriculture and environment.

The event will present the topics included in the forthcoming Horizon Europe Cluster 6 Work Programme 2026. It will be held in a hybrid format, hosted on site in Brussels at the Charlemagne conference facility and streamed online via the European Commission’s web platform.

Participants will have the opportunity to:

• Gain insights into the policy context shaping Cluster 6 calls
• Attend a “key-to-success” session with guidance and tips for preparing high-quality proposals
• Hear topic pitches covering the different destinations of the Work Programme 2026
