Horizon Europe at Adelaide University

Horizon Europe

Global challenges need global collaboration

Adelaide University builds long-term, high-value international partnerships that benefit communities, industries and societies around the world. Connect with us to explore research opportunities under Horizon Europe.  

Partner with Adelaide University through Horizon Europe

The world’s most pressing challenges, including climate change, health, food security, digital transformation, energy resilience and societal wellbeing cannot be solved by individual organisations working alone. They require multidisciplinary expertise, international partnerships and the ability to translate research into real-world impact.  

From 2027, Adelaide University will engage strongly with Pillar II of Horizon Europe. We invite researchers, universities, industry partners, government agencies and innovation organisations across Europe and beyond to connect with us as consortium partners, collaborators and innovation leaders. While Pillar II will be a major focus, we also welcome discussions on opportunities across the broader Horizon Europe programme.
