CROSS Project Kicks Off Under Horizon Europe

Published on: 11/09/2025

The CROSS consortium, led by UCT Prague, has officially started its activities under the Horizon Europe programme (HORIZON-WIDERA-2024-ERA-02, “Talent ecosystems for attractive early research careers”). The consortium brings together partners from Belgium, Cyprus, Czechia, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Spain, and EIT Food.

CROSS supports researchers at all career stages in developing skills for diverse paths inside and outside academia. It contributes to the new European Charter for Researchers and assists institutions engaged with the HR Excellence in Research Award.

Stakeholders are invited to join the CROSS community and participate in career events, co-creation workshops, training sessions, and more. Express your interest here.

The first free Co-Creation Workshop on ResearchComp will take place on Tuesday, 21 October 2025 (9:00–19:00 CEST) at EIT House, Brussels. The workshop will raise awareness of ResearchComp, gather input for its implementation, and foster knowledge exchange. Register here.
