The European Commission published the Horizon Europe 2026-2027 work programme set on 29 September 2026. For Dutch-Turkish teams, this matters because the new documents move the conversation from broad strategy into concrete call planning across clusters, missions, European Innovation Ecosystems, WIDERA, MSCA and infrastructure.
The practical opportunity is not only in one call. The work programme set helps companies, universities, applied research organisations and public partners decide where a bilateral proposition fits: digital and industrial technologies, climate and mobility, health, food systems, security, talent mobility or innovation ecosystems.
For TurkDutch Marketplace members, the editorial signal is clear: the next useful matchmaking conversations should start with call fit, partner readiness and evidence of impact. A good consortium story will need more than a shared interest in cooperation. It should show why the Dutch and Turkish partners are complementary, which work programme destination they support and what outcome is credible within the call timeline.
This draft should be reviewed against the specific calls that are most relevant to the platform's priority sectors before publication.
