Description
1) Objective
LEAP-SE is a six-year program conducted by a consortium of about 26 partners from European and African countries. The program’s budget is around €33 million, including €10 million from the EC. This partnership is built upon the successes of previous programs, including the LEAP-RE program.
LEAP-SE consortium members are launching in 2026 the second edition of a transnational joint Call for proposals co-funded by European and African national/regional research funding agencies (members of LEAP-SE consortium), with additional EC contribution, following the first call launched in 2025. The selected projects will focus on achieving goals of mutual benefit based on a balanced and cooperative approach. Particular attention will be given to strengthening the impact of R&I-supported activities for the well-being of society in Europe and Africa.
2) Eligibility
Each project consortium that applies for funding must consist of at least two independent legal entities from two different European Union Member States or Horizon Europe associated countries, and another two independent legal entities from two countries in the African Union.
3) Location
Activities must take place in EU Member States and African countries.
4) Budget
The total indicative budget for this 2026 call is approximately €13 million, provided by funding organisations, plus €3.5 million from the EC’s contribution.
5) Application
Proposals must be submitted by 5 February 2026.
