Funding Opportunities
Horizon Europe is a research and innovation funding program that provides funding opportunities for researchers, universities, research organizations, and businesses in Nigeria to undertake research and innovation projects. The program aims to address societal and economic challenges and supports a wide range of research activities across Europe. Nigeria's participation in Horizon Europe provides an opportunity for Nigerian researchers and innovators to collaborate with their European counterparts and contribute to global research and innovation. The funding opportunities are awarded competitively and based on the quality of the research proposal and the potential impact of the research.
Researchers in diaspora can participate in Horizon Europe through various funding opportunities, such as the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) program. The MSCA program provides funding for researchers to undertake research and training activities across Europe and beyond. The program supports the mobility of researchers, including researchers on diaspora, and provides opportunities to collaborate with European research organizations. Additionally, researchers on diaspora can participate in Horizon Europe through partnerships and collaborations with European research organizations. The program encourages international cooperation and provides funding opportunities for joint research projects between European and non-European research organizations.
