The HELIOS project highlights an important development in the world of research and innovation: the European Commission has announced new opportunities under the WIDERA Work Programme 2025.
WIDERA (Widening Participation and Strengthening the European Research Area) is an integral part of Horizon Europe. Its primary goal is to strengthen the European Research Area by enhancing participation from countries and regions that are traditionally less involved in research and innovation activities. The programme also aims to promote inclusiveness, enhance scientific excellence, and reduce innovation disparities across Europe.
What Does WIDERA Offer?
The programme provides new opportunities for:
Expanding collaboration between institutions in lower-performing countries and leading research centers across Europe.
Accessing funding for the creation of research networks, joint projects, knowledge exchange, and development of innovation infrastructure.
Supporting researcher mobility and promoting best practices through initiatives such as Teaming, Twinning, and ERA Chairs.
Key Areas of the WIDERA Work Programme 2025
Teaming for Excellence — supporting the creation or upgrading of centers of excellence in countries with developing innovation ecosystems.
Twinning — fostering cooperation between institutions to boost their scientific capabilities through exchanges, training, and joint research activities.
ERA Chairs — attracting outstanding researchers to strengthen research excellence in institutions in widening countries.
Strengthening the European Research Area (ERA) — implementing reforms in national research and innovation systems to align with European objectives.
Who Can Participate?
The WIDERA programme targets research institutions, universities, innovation clusters, and small and medium-sized enterprises that seek to actively engage in European research and innovation projects. It is particularly aimed at organizations from countries with historically lower participation in Horizon 2020 and Horizon Europe initiatives.
Why Is This Important?
Participation in the WIDERA programme helps:
Strengthen scientific and technical expertise.
Expand international cooperation networks.
Attract additional resources for innovation development.
Increase competitiveness on the global stage.
At HELIOS, we strongly support initiatives that promote collaboration, knowledge sharing, and sustainable development as essential drivers of future technological progress.
