To support the Horizon Europe program, a network of National Contact Points (NCPs) has been established in all EU Member States – including Hungary – and associated countries whose staff play a key role in supporting the success of applications.

The main task of the NCPs is to provide high-quality, professional and free-of-charge support to potential applicants (research institutes, universities, companies, non-profit institutions, individual researchers) in line with the structure of Horizon Europe, in connection with the individual sub-programs, partnerships and missions.

Their activities include:

  • information dissemination: organization of information days, information events, presentations on current calls for proposals and new developments;
  • advice on the application process: organization of consultations, trainings, workshops, targeted and general trainings in connection with the application; phone, e-mail and in-person consultation;
  • assisting project partner search.
