Call HORIZON-EIC-2026-TRANSITIONOPEN has closed on 16.09.2026
648 proposals have been submitted.
The proposals invited to interview will receive the invitation indicatively by 16 of November.
Interviews will be held on the week starting 30 of November.
Evaluation results are expected to be communicated in January 2027.
Applicants specifying an eligible originating project with a 6-digit project number should note that the administrative forms (part A - Other questions) only accept 9-digit project number. To proceed with the submission, please add three leading zeros (000) to the project number. Eligible orginating project with a 9-digit do not need to add anything.
The submission session is now available for: HORIZON-EIC-2026-TRANSITIONOPEN
EIC Transition funds innovation activities that go beyond the experimental proof of principle in laboratory (applications must have completed all elements of Technology Readiness Level 3). It supports both the maturation and validation of your novel technology from the lab to the relevant application environments (by making use of prototyping, formulation, models, user testing or other validation tests) as well as explorations and development of a sustainable business plan and business model towards commercialisation into high potential markets.
Your proposed activities must include further technology development on the results achieved in a previous project and follow user-centric methodologies to increase chances of the innovation’s future commercial success in the market. EIC Transition projects should address, in a balanced way, both technology and market/business development, possibly including iterative learning processes based on early customer or user feedback. These activities should include, subject to the level of maturity of the technology, a suitable mix of technology development and validation activities to increase the maturity of the technology beyond proof of concept to viable demonstrators of the technology in the intended field of application (i.e., applications must have completed all elements of Technology Readiness Level 3 up to TRL 5 to 6 at the end of the project). The activities must in all cases address improving market readiness towards commercialisation and deployment (market research, value proposition, refine incipient business plan63 and validate incipient business model, intellectual property protection, etc.) and aspects of regulation, certification and standardisation (if relevant), aimed at getting both the technology and the business idea investment ready.
More information can be found in the European Innovation Council Work Programme 2026.
1. Admissibility conditions: Proposal page limit and layout
Proposals must build on results already achieved within an eligible project that are, at least, at experimental proof of concept (applications must have completed all elements of Technology Readiness Level 3) and should not be beyond TRL4, i.e. that all elements of TRL4 have already been completed. Proposals building on project results at other TRLs level are not eligible.
For more information on eligible projects, please consult the EIC Work Programme 2026 and the EIC Transition website.
You can apply for EIC Transition either as:
- A single legal entity established in a Member State or an Associated Country (‘mono-beneficiary’)
- A small consortium of two independent legal entities from two different Member States or Associated Countries or
- A consortium of minimum three and maximum five independent legal entities (‘multi-beneficiary’) following standard rules i.e. must include at least one legal entity established in a Member State and at least two other independent legal entities, each established in different Member States or Associated Countries.
The standard admissibility and eligibility conditions as well as the eligibility of applicants from third countries are detailed in Annex 2 of the EIC Work Programme 2026.
Proposal page limits and layout: described in Part B of the Application Form available in the Submission System.
Sections 1 to 3 and the cover page (that includes the information about the related project on which the current EIC Transition proposal is built on) of the part B of your proposal, corresponding respectively to the evaluation criteria Excellence, Impact, and Quality and Efficiency of the Implementation, must consist of a maximum of 22 A4 pages.
Excess pages will be automatically made invisible, and will not be taken into consideration by the evaluators. Please also consult Annex 2 of the EIC Work Programme 2026.
2. Eligible countries
described in Annex B of the Work Programme General Annexes.
A number of non-EU/non-Associated Countries that are not automatically eligible for funding have made specific provisions for making funding available for their participants in Horizon Europe projects. See the information in the Horizon Europe Programme Guide.
The eligibility of applicants from third countries is explained Annex 2 of the EIC Work Programme 2026.
3. Other Eligibility Conditions
The EIC Transition is restricted to proposals based on results generated by the eligible projects described in the EIC Work Programme 2026.
4. Financial and operational capacity and exclusion
Described in Annex 2 of the EIC Work Programme 2026.
