What is a Horizon Fund?
A Horizon Fund is an open-ended investment fund that focuses on long-term growth through diversified investments. It typically includes a mix of assets, such as fixed income instruments and digital assets, helping investors balance growth opportunities with stability in an evolving financial landscape.
How can you get funding for projects?
Projects can secure funding from a variety of sources, including government institutions, cooperative banks, and European Union funding programmes. In Europe, many organisations receive grants through programmes such as Horizon Europe and Erasmus+, which support research, innovation, education, and collaborative international initiatives.
What is the funding rate for Horizon Europe?
The funding rate for most Horizon Europe projects covers about 70% of the costs that companies and other for-profit groups can get. Most of the time, non-profits can get all of their funding. Most of the time, these grants are based on the budget, so the amount of money actually awarded depends on the costs allowed in the approved project proposal.
How do you apply for EU funding?
Applying for EU funds usually starts with identifying a suitable call for proposals under a European funding programme such as Horizon Europe or Erasmus+. Each call outlines the criteria, requirements, and steps involved in the application process. Applicants may need to register in the EU Funding & Tenders Portal, prepare their proposal using the official templates, and submit it before the deadline. It is important to follow the call guidelines carefully, as proposals that do not meet the requirements may be considered ineligible.
How long does the application process take?
The entire journey from the opening of a funding call to the official project launch typically spans 12 months or more.
How long does it take to get EU funding?
Funding approval timelines vary by grant type. Foundation grants may take 30 days to 18 months, while federal or government grants typically require 6 to 9 months due to more complex evaluation processes.
