21-22 April 2026. Brussels. Meeting of the Green Era Hub (GEH) on widening and outreach
The Green ERA-Hub (GEH) Coordination and Support Action under Horizon Europe (HEU), brings together all relevant ongoing and self-sustaining networks; (including ERA-Nets and European Joint Programme Cofund) in the Agri-food and biotechnolgy sector.
The Hub thus represents a large part of Europe's national ministries, funders and research institutes within these themes. The networks provide transnational co-programming of national research priorities and funding, organising joint scientific research, knowledge valorisation and science-policy dialogue activities.

The objective of the GEH is to maintain, use and strengthen the established knowledge, networks and resources, and to play a bridging role in the setting up of partnerships under Horizon Europe. Specific ambitions include developing a strategic roadmap, strengthening expertise in the themes, organising new calls for proposals and maintaining, sharing and strengthening knowledge in joint transnational research programming. Explicitly, the GEH wants to contribute to preparations for HEU partnerships.
As part of the GEH, the partners of the work package on “Widening and outreach” submitted
a document of recommendations to the EC to expand geographical collaboration with Africa,
the Mediterranean, Eastern European countries, and the Balkans in Horizon Europe partnerships.
This final meeting aimed to disseminate these recommendations more widely and, above all, to
go further and propose avenues for implementation.
