When Horizon Europe Missions launched in 2021, the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) Climate community was quick to position itself as a key vehicle for delivering the new type of research programme. Today, the EU-backed innovation network is the leading player in three of the five research Missions.

EIT Climate has secured €99 million in funding from 19 Mission projects, far more than any other grantee of the scheme’s €2.24 billion grant portfolio, which totals 295 projects.
