Mission topics are published in the Horizon Europe Missions work programme with annual deadlines, most commonly in September.
Mission calls fund collaborative projects, living labs, lighthouse demonstrators and city pilots, typically EUR 2-20 million per project. Several Mission projects run cascade funding to SMEs and start-ups (financial support to third parties), commonly EUR 20,000-100,000 per company. The Cities Mission additionally routes investment support through the NetZeroCities platform and the Mission Label.
