Horizon Impact Award prize is the European Commission's initiative to recognize and celebrate outstanding projects that have used their results to provide value for society.

These projects must have been funded by FP7 and/or Horizon 2020 funding programmes and they must be closed by the time of application.

On 6 January 2022, the European Commission launched the third edition of Horizon Impact Award prize! All beneficiaries of closed FP7/H2020 projects are invited to submit their application to the prize by 8 March 2022 and compete for the prize worth 25.000 € per each winner.

The Horizon Impact Award will provide the winners with high visibility in the form of public interest and increased media coverage. Each winner will receive a dedicated professionally made video about their success story.

The Commission will further promote the winners by inviting them to provide testimony at other major events.

The contest is open to all legal entities, individuals or teams that have completed an FP7 and/or Horizon 2020 project.

The applicants will be required to submit a letter of support from at least one user or user community, stating the importance of the research and how using it created concrete benefits for the specific user-community.

Deadline: 6 April 2022.

For submission of the proposal, please visit the official web site of European Commission’s Funding and Tender’s portal.
