EU Missions draft work programme 2026-2027 published

2nd NCP4Missions Online Workshop: “Citizen Engagement Approaches across EU Missions, Horizon Europe Clusters, and Policies

Published on: 02/07/2025

The EU Missions draft work programme for 2026-2027 has been made public as part of a move to make all Horizon Europe work programmes drafts publicly available to all researchers during the drafting process this year.

The draft has been made available in the European Commission's Comitology Register. 

“The Commission is committed to making the work programme even more transparent and accessible to all stakeholders,” confirmed Commission spokesman Thomas Regnier to Science|Business. “This is why draft versions of the work programme 2026-27 are being made public and accessible through the Comitology Register.”

While the documents are still subject to change, accessing the drafts early gives applicants more time to assemble a consortium and develop their project ideas, hopefully leading to improved proposals and increased impact of the research.
