Africa Initiative III Tipologia:
Internazionale Programma:
Horizon Europe L'Iniziativa Africa III è una componente della dimensione di cooperazione internazionale di Horizon Europa, volta a promuovere partenariati equi e sostenibili tra Europa e Africa nel campo della ricerca e dell'innovazione. Mira a rafforzare gli ecosistemi di ricerca e innovazione, responsabilizzare scienziati giovani e donne, sostenere lo sviluppo socio-economico sostenibile guidato dall'innovazione e fornire soluzioni condivise a sfide globali e regionali. L'iniziativa è suddivisa in 24 bandi, raggruppati in cinque temi principali, con un finanziamento di 500 milioni di euro. Ecco alcuni dettagli sull'Iniziativa Africa III:
The European Union has launched the Horizon Europe Work Programme 2025, with a committed focus on deepening EU-Africa cooperation in Research and Innovation (R&I). This includes the publication of Africa Initiative III, which allocates €500.5 million across 24 calls for proposals, aimed at advancing shared priorities between Africa and the EU. Building on the momentum of Africa Initiatives I & II, this third wave of support reflects the strong political commitment made under the AU-EU Innovation Agenda and contributes to the AU’s newly declared Decade of Education Transformation, Youth Skills Development and Innovation (2025–2034). What is Africa Initiative III? Africa Initiative III is a component of Horizon Europe’s international cooperation dimension, aiming to accelerate the translation of scientific knowledge into action around shared global challenges in Africa and Europe. The calls are now open and fall under four thematic pillars:
These calls are designed to involve African institutions and researchers, ensuring meaningful participation in consortia tackling shared challenges in areas such as climate change adaptation, clean energy, sustainable agriculture, digital innovation, science for policy, and equitable access to health. Interested applicants can access the full list of calls and eligibility details via the EU Funding & Tenders Portal. What did Africa Initiative achieve? Africa Initiative I, implemented within Horizon Europe 2021–2022 under the four thematic pillars of AU-EU R&I cooperation, demonstrated the power of cross-continental partnerships. With a budget of approximately €500 million, it supported 38 topics and was complemented by 5 additional topics under the Global Health EDCTP3 Joint Undertaking. Key outcomes include:
Why this matters The AU-EU partnership on research and innovation continues to prioritize open and collaborative science, and Horizon Europe remains a key tool to implement this vision. Africa Initiative III is not just a funding programme. It is an opportunity to strengthen R&I ecosystems, empower young and women scientists, support innovation-led sustainable socio-economic development, and deliver shared solutions to global and regional challenges.

MSCA Choose Europe for Science 2025 - HORIZON-MSCA-2025-COFUND-02 Tipologia:
Internazionale Programma:
Horizon Europe (HORIZON) Topic description: Expected Outcoms For supported researchers:
For participating organisations:
Scope: The objective of this new scheme is to tackle brain drain and precarity of researchers' careers to make Europe more attractive to the most promising young talents. Applicants submit proposals for talent recruitment programmes that will provide researchers holding a doctoral degree with excellent research and academic opportunities, potentially coupled with management activities, to lead them to concrete and attractive career prospects. This will have an impact on the enhancement of human resources in R&I at institutional, regional, national or international level. These programmes will be co-funded by MSCA Choose Europe for Science. The programmes will be divided into two phases. A first phase (24-36 months) in which the EU funding is equivalent to the minimum gross salary for the recruited researcher during this phase and a second phase (24 months) in which the applicant is expected to continue to employ the researcher, set salaries attractive at a national level and ensure availability of the necessary internal or external funds. Proposed programmes can cover any research disciplines. The selection procedure for candidates must be open, competitive, merit-based and with a transparent international peer-review in line with the European Charter for Researchers[1]. Alignment with the principles outlined in the Agreement on Reforming Research Assessment[2] is also encouraged. Selection criteria should be based primarily on excellence. Additional selection criteria require clear alignment with local human resources needs identified in the relevant institutional, regional or national strategies. These must be described in the proposal and must be listed in the vacancy notice (to be widely advertised internationally, including on the EURAXESS website[3]) alongside the gross salaries applicable to the two programme phases (net salary + employee’s taxes and contributions). Selected fellows will be able to work in research, teaching or management positions and, where relevant, define their own research topic at their host institution(s). The programmes should aim at offering excellent working conditions to researchers, including salary, professional resources, and career development. The career development should incorporate transversal skills but also job-specific skills and, where relevant, language courses to ensure that the training is in line with the career opportunities offered following the fellowship. These opportunities must include concrete and attractive long-term career prospects, such as pathways towards open-ended contracts, which can be subject to assessment and evaluation. There must be a fair, equal, inclusive, transparent, structured career accession and progression system providing access to these opportunities in line with the Council Recommendation of 18 December 2023 on a European framework to attract and retain research, innovation and entrepreneurial talents in Europe, the European Charter for Researchers in its annex and the Agreement on Reforming Research Assessment. A Career Development Plan must be maintained throughout the period of the Choose Europe for Science programme. In addition to research objectives, this Plan comprises the researcher's career development needs, including training on languages, transferable skills, teaching, planning for publications and participation in conferences and events. The Plan should outline the projected career progression paths in the host institution.
