The European Commission will host a Horizon Europe Information Day on 15 January 2026 (09:00–17:00 CET) dedicated to the upcoming Work Programme 2026–2027, with a strong focus on Cluster 5: Climate, Energy and Mobility—a core thematic area for the ShakeUp project. 

The event will provide valuable insights into the policy context shaping the new Cluster 5 calls, alongside practical guidance on how to prepare competitive project proposals. Participants will also receive advice on strengthening the integration of Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH) within Cluster 5 topics. 

The information day will feature: 

  • Presentations from the European Commission on Cluster 5 priorities and expectations 

  • Guidance on proposal preparation and evaluation criteria 

  • Dedicated sessions on enhancing the impact of SSH contributions 

  • Interactive parallel sessions, including short thematic presentations and live Q&A supported by SLIDO 

Participants will be able to submit questions in advance of the event and follow the sessions via livestream, accessible through registration on the European Commission’s web platform. Registrants are also encouraged to consult the recently published Horizon Europe Cluster 5 Work Programme 2026–2027 ahead of the event. 

Brokerage Event – 14 January 2026  

Ahead of the information day, a Brokerage and Networking Event will take place on 14 January 2026, offering an excellent opportunity for organisations interested in Cluster 5 calls to connect with potential partners. 

The brokerage event will include: 

  • Pitching sessions to present organisations and project ideas 

  • Bilateral meetings organised by thematic areas 

  • Targeted networking to support the creation of strong, multidisciplinary consortia 

This event is particularly relevant for Shake Up stakeholders seeking to build collaborations around climate-neutral technologies, sustainable mobility, energy transition, and citizen-centred innovation.
