widerAdvance opens applications: 15 September deadline for Widening Countries and Outermost Regions

Research organisations based in Widening Countries and Outermost Regions have until 15 September 2026 to apply for support through the widerAdvance Facility. The Facility is one of several dedicated services now available to European research and innovation projects looking to extend the impact of their results — alongside initiatives such as HSbooster.eu II, which offers free standardisation support to R&I projects through open calls.

What the Facility offers

widerAdvance supports eligible organisations from Widening Countries and Outermost Regions holding Key Exploitable Results generated through Horizon 2020 or Horizon Europe projects. Its tailored services are designed to strengthen the impact and exploitation potential of those results, and can include the Dissemination and Exploitation Academy, Intellectual Property support, standardisation support, pitching support, synergies with other funding opportunities, and preparation for matching with external partners.

Applying

Applications are submitted at organisation level. The current cut-off is 15 September 2026. More information and the application form are available at https://www.wideradvance.eu/open-call/open-call
