ERRIN and UnLiON are co-organising an online brokerage event on 4 November from 10:00 to 12:00. This event will bring together researchers and stakeholders from the public and private sectors to explore collaboration opportunities under 2027 Horizon Europe Cluster 5 – Climate, Energy and Mobility.

The event aims to facilitate the sharing of project ideas, knowledge, and expertise among participants. It also supports partner identification for future consortia, helping researchers connect with organisations preparing proposals for upcoming Horizon Europe calls with 2027 deadlines. In addition, the event encourages cross-sector collaboration by bringing together actors from academia, industry, and regional organisations.

The 2027 Cluster 5 – Climate, Energy and Mobility calls cover a wide range of topics addressing Europe’s green and digital transitions, including clean energy systems, resilient and flexible grids, sustainable mobility solutions, climate adaptation, and cross-sectoral innovations supporting the EU’s long-term decarbonisation objectives. Several calls emphasise large-scale demonstration projects, social acceptance of climate and energy solutions, and interdisciplinary approaches combining engineering, environmental sciences, and social sciences. This brokerage event therefore offers an excellent opportunity for regional and local authorities working in these areas to identify partners and shape competitive proposals aligned with the strategic priorities of the 2027 work programme.

You may register as:
