Our calls for European projects

With the aim of expanding support opportunities for Walloon companies, Wagralim is actively exploring European tools. Since 2018, the cluster has been involved in several European initiatives, both as a coordinator and as a partner. The majority of the projects obtained support businesses either through a financial mechanism that provides access to a budget of up to €60,000 or through the direct involvement of businesses in consortia.

These rich learning experiences now enable us to offer our expertise to businesses, complementing our skills in regional project management. Wagralim aims to be your partner in facilitating your access to European tools, particularly in structuring innovative ideas and managing applications.

Below you will find a selection of Horizon Europe calls for proposals. This is one of the largest European funding programs, covering a wide variety of topics. The calls presented have been pre-screened and identified as relevant to our network.
