Cluster 2 HOW TO sheets

A compilation of useful factsheets on different topics with relevance to new applicants in Horizon Europe and NCPs.
All sheets are oriented toward helping to support you as a potential applicant in successfully apply for funding.

It is focused on “new stakeholder groups” in Cluster2, for example, actors from the Culture and Creative Industries (CCI), Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums (GLAM), and Civil Society Organisations (CSO) and newcomers from universities, who do not have extensive experience in applying for calls in Cluster 2.

Its content is built on barriers identified during interviews with stakeholders, which inhibit their participation in the HorizonEurope.
