The Digital Europe Programme funds deployment, not research: supercomputing, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, advanced digital skills and the digital transformation of public administration. Where Horizon Europe pays to find out whether something works, Digital Europe pays to roll it out, which is why co-financing rates are lower and consortia often include public bodies as users.
All 1 of the calls open under it now accept a single applicant, so there is no consortium to assemble.
The published expectation across these calls is 46 funded projects, the honest denominator when you weigh whether to spend a month writing. The next cut-off is 01 Dec 2026.
