An overview of deadlines not to be missed in the new year.<\/p>\n
The programming<\/a> of European calls for proposals is in many cases cyclical, with deadlines often repeated from year to year. For community programs, work programs (Work Programmes) are published annually (or in some cases every two years), which include an indicative list of planned publication dates and deadlines for the year in question. <\/p>\n Work programs give indicative deadlines: it is always important to keep up to date with the final release and deadline dates of the call of interest, using tools such as our Call for Tenders<\/a> Portal and Funding & Tenders<\/a> portal. In the Guide you can also find insights and tips on how to search for calls<\/a> and keep up-to-date<\/a>. <\/p>\n Let’s look together at the deadlines for some of the major EU programs available to date, such as CERV<\/a>, Erasmus+<\/a>, Creative Europe<\/a>, LIFE<\/a>, and Digital Europe<\/a>. In some cases, for example for the EU4Health program, the work programs for 2026 are still being finalized. Depending on the document, precise dates or broader indications (such as the four-month publication period) are available. Please remember to consult the official documents of the various calls for more detailed information with respect to not only the date, but the deadline for submitting the project through the platform. <\/p>\n For each program, we also highlight Infodays and events to mark in your agenda. In the news<\/a> section of the Guide we give visibility to many of these initiatives, and in the Audio and Video<\/a> section you can find recordings of some of the most important Infodays. <\/p>\n Indicative timetable<\/a> of 2026 maturities:<\/p>\n Pillar: Promoting equality and rights<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Pillar: Promoting citizen engagement and participation<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Pillar: Daphne (violence against gender and vulnerable groups)<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Pillar: Protect and promote the values of the Union<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Infoday and upcoming events:<\/strong><\/p>\n National Contact Point webinar<\/a> on the 2026-2028 Work Program: on February 6, 2026, from 11:00 am to 12:30 pm.<\/p>\n We suggest monitoring the National Contact Point website<\/a> to stay updated on upcoming Infodays.<\/p>\n Thecall for proposals for 2026<\/a> contains the timetable for calls, in line with the official Program Guide<\/a>.
