WIDERA: Widening Participation and Strengthening the European Research Area

Description of the Programme

This is the cross-cutting programme for the expansion and strengthening of the European Research Area within Horizon Europe, the 2021-2027 European Research and Innovation Framework Program. The main objective of the WIDERA program is to reduce disparities in research and innovation systems between countries. With this aim, the EC has designated a list of preferred countries for WIDERA projects. These countries have had low participation in previous research framework programs.

The WIDERA programme also aims to improve cross-cutting aspects in research such as the gender perspective, cooperation, open access, citizen science, and research ethics. More information can be found in the Work Programme, on the European Commission website, and on the Ministry's website.
