Background 

Horizon Europe Cluster 4 Industry supports the implementation of scientific projects, mainly to accelerate the green and digital transitions and to increase the EU’s autonomy in key strategic value chains for a resilient industry. 

HaDEA supports industrial research and innovation by managing the ‘Industry’ part of Cluster 4 ‘Digital, Industry and Space’ of the Horizon Europe programme and the legacy programme Horizon 2020. 

Further details on calls HORIZON-CL4-2025-01 and HORIZON-CL4-2025-05-two-stage can be found in the  Horizon Europe Work Programme 2025.
