As a beneficiary of the NCP_WIDERA.NET project and using the project budget, the National Research, Development and Innovation Office (NRDI Office) is launching a call for proposals for participation in the brokerage events of Horizon Europe, the EU’s research and development framework programme.
The call for proposals provides ex-post support for participation in an international brokerage event abroad organised by one of the clusters under Pillar II of Horizon Europe.
The call is open to any organisation registered and operating in Hungary that intends to submit a proposal for any call published or to be published under Pillar II clusters and undertakes to actively participate in the related brokerage event. (Organisations covered by Council Implementing Decision (EU) 2022/2506 of 15 December 2022 are not eligible.)
The call will contribute to the actual travel and accommodation costs related to the participation, up to a maximum HUF-equivalent of EUR 1.000, in the form of post-financing.
The call will be available until the budget is exhausted, but no later than 31 January 2027, as the brokerage events are announced. Proposals may be submitted for a brokerage event to be held up to and including 28 February 2027.

To ensure value-based professional evaluation of proposals arriving in large quantities from the fields of discovery and applied research and innovation, to assess professional reports of funded projects and to prepare policy opinions, the NRDI Office intends to expand its expert pool in all fields of expertise.
Professionals who have registered in the database of the NRDI Office can become responsible contributors, as independent peer-reviewers, to the evaluation process in which the professional quality, novelty content and commercialisation perspectives of the proposals as compared to the requested funding should be assessed as core considerations.
The registration process can be initiated through the registration form of the NRDI Office’s website. Registration is continuously open.
Requested data within the expert registration form include:
- personal data, contact details (necessary for contracting review assignments);
- classification of professional skills and competencies and research areas (to get review invitations fine-tuned to your field of expertise);
- topics of the previously reviewed proposals;
- present and past jobs, interest networks (in order to pre-screening of conflicts of interest in a given rview assignment), education, scientific titles, most important publications and intellectual works demonstrating your professional experience;
- language skills.
Professionals once registered in the database of experts may be invited by the NRDI Office to review submitted proposals, to assess professional reports of funded projects and to contribute to policy opinions.
Each proposal is reviewed by several independent experts at the same time. Experts selected from the database to review proposals, to assess professional reports and facilitate expert opinions will be contracted by the NRDI Office on a case-by-case basis. When concluding such a contract experts must declare that the review assignment is not obstructed by any conflict of interest whatsoever. Depending on the competition type, written expert reviews must be prepared in 15-28 work days and submitted electronically via the online review portal of the NRDI Office.
