Euratom Research and Training Programme
UAinEuratom is Ukrainian National Contact Point for Euratom research and training programme within Horizon Europe.
Euratom NCP in Ukraine is a support and consultation point that works for the Ukrainian and European research, innovation and education community with the aim of uniting them for joint participation in the Euratom programme.
Overview
The Euratom Research and Training Programme is a complementary funding programme to Horizon Europe that covers nuclear research and innovation. It uses the same rules for participation and funding instruments as Horizon Europe.
The programme focuses on continuously improving nuclear safety, security, safeguards, radiation protection, spent fuel and radioactive waste management, and nuclear education/training. It also complements the broader objectives of Horizon Europe, including clean energy transition and health initiatives.
The programme is planned in five-year cycles, with an extension for another two years in order to align with the Multiannual Financial Framework, the EU’s seven-year budget cycle.
It funds direct actions, which are research activities undertaken by the Commission’s Joint Research Centre, and indirect actions – research activities undertaken by multi-partner consortia. The indirect actions are coordinated by the Directorate-General for Research and Innovation of the European Commission.
The 2026-2027 Euratom work programme for research is extending the 2021-2025 programme. It has a budget of €330 million:
- €222 million for indirect actions in fusion research and development
- €108 million for indirect actions in nuclear fission, safety and radiation protection
In nuclear fission, the indirect actions are complemented by direct actions undertaken by the Joint Research Centre.
