Postponement of submission deadlines in Horizon 2020 due to COVID-19

The European Commission has extended the submission deadlines for all Horizon 2020 calls with original deadlines before 15 April 2020 at least until this date, as the COVID-19 pandemic is severely impairing the preparation of project proposals. Excluded from this is the IMI2-2020-21-01 call.

The new deadlines for each call and each topic can be found on the specific call pages in the Funding & Tenders Portal. Furthermore, the IT Help Desk informs that its staff is currently working mainly from home - therefore delays in requests concerning technical settings of proposals are to be expected.
