Cluster 3: Civil Security for Society


Information Session


December 18, 2024 – 10:30 – 11:30 AM via Zoom (registration through Zoom)


Horizon Europe is the world’s largest research and innovation collaboration program, with a budget of €95.5 billion ($140 billion CDN) between 2021-2027. More than €53 billion ($77 billion CDN) has been allocated to Pillar II. The budget for Cluster 3 is €1.596 billion.


The program fosters opportunities for international collaboration and strengthens the impact of research and innovation in tackling major global challenges, like climate change.


Recently, the Government of Canada completed negotiations with the European Commission to join Horizon Europe as an associate country under Pillar II. Associate membership allows researchers at Canadian institutions to participate in applications to Pillar II calls for proposals and receive funding from Horizon Europe if the applications are successful.


Cluster 3: Civil Security for Society aims to protect the EU and its citizens from terrorism, organized crime (including cyber threats) and from the negative externalities stemming from natural and man-made disasters. For the EU, Associated countries and Third Country partners, security is a top-tier priority, and the latter needs to be tackled by adopting effective policies, through the help of latest technologies.


Hosted by McMaster Research Office for Administration, Development & Support (ROADS), this information session will feature Christina Pellegrini, Horizon Europe Program Lead, who will provide an overview of the program, a deeper dive into Cluster 3: Civil Security for Society, and the application process at McMaster.


Please note: this virtual information session will be recorded for individuals who are unable to attend on December 18, 2024.
