HARMONMISSIONS to Launch Capacity-Building Program for EU Missions in 2025

The HARMONMISSIONS project is gearing up to deliver a comprehensive capacity-building program designed to empower stakeholders in the Danube Region to participate effectively in the EU Missions under Horizon Europe. Developed by ARC Fund, this program aims to enhance regional capacity to design and implement impactful projects addressing Mission 1: Adaptation to Climate Change and Mission 4: 100 Climate-Neutral and Smart Cities by 2030.

The program was officially presented during the HARMONMISSIONS Steering Committee meeting on October 24, 2024, in Kosice, Slovakia.

Program Details

The capacity-building program, scheduled for delivery throughout 2025, includes three core elements:

  1. Seven Targeted Trainings: Focused sessions on EU Missions, providing specialized knowledge and skills.
  2. Four Regional Workshops: Open to a wider audience across the Danube Region to share knowledge and foster collaboration.
  3. Brokerage Events: Facilitating partnerships and consortia formation for project proposals under Horizon Europe’s Missions.

The program is designed using a modular approach, covering the full project cycle—from developing a project idea to maximizing its impact.

First In-Person Training in Sofia, Bulgaria

The first three-day training will be held in person in Sofia, Bulgaria, on April 23-25, 2025. This training will offer:
