Digitale, industria, spazio: pubblicati due nuovi bandi Digital di Horizon Europe

La Commissione europea ha aperto due nuove call DIGITAL contenute nel Work Programme 2026 dedicato a digitale, industria, spazio di Horizon Europe, mettendo a disposizione oltre 300 milioni di euro per progetti di ricerca e innovazione. 

Le opportunità sono orientate a sviluppare infrastrutture per servizi di dati e di intelligenza artificiale affidabili e tecnologie digitali e industriali per un'innovazione human-centric, al fine di raggiungere un'autonomia strategica nelle tecnologie digitali e abilitanti emergenti.

Complessivamente le due call contano 18 topic, per un budget complessivo di 307 milioni di euro.

Tutti i topic si sono aperti il 15 gennaio e si chiuderanno il 15 aprile 2026.

Di seguito i dettagli delle due call:
