Euratom Research and Training Programme receives €300 million in funds
06 July 2021

The European Commission has adopted the Euratom Work Programme 2021-2022, implementing the Euratom Research and Training Programme 2021-2025. This Work Programme will be funded with €300 million and will support fusion research, help further improve nuclear safety and radiation protection as well as boost non-power applications of nuclear technology.

The Work Programme also contributes to the EU’s efforts to further develop technological leadership and promote excellence in nuclear research and innovation. This year’s calls have a particular focus on the medical field, directly supporting the priorities of the EU’s Beating Cancer Action Plan and the SAMIRA Action Plan.

According to the words of the European Commissioner for Innovation, Research, Culture, Education and Youth, Mariya Gabriel, “The Euratom Research and Training Programme for 2021-2022 will prepare us for the future. I am pleased that the new work programme seeks to increase the coordination with Member States through Partnerships and move beyond traditional energy issues of great importance, such as nuclear safety, to also tackle societal concerns like health and education”.

The 2021-2022 calls for proposals will be published on the Commission’s Funding and Tenders Portal, followed by the opening for applications on 7 July. The Euratom Info Day on 16 July marks the occasion to provide general information on Horizon Europe, as well as detailed presentations of the Euratom Research and Training Programme 2021-2022. During three dedicated sessions, all the novelties of the programme will be presented.
