18/10/23 (Agence Europe) – Following an assessment, the European Commission announced, on Wednesday 18 October, that, due to the disruption caused by the fallout from the Hamas terrorist attacks in Israel, it was difficult for partners in the region to complete and submit proposals by the deadlines set for certain Horizon Europe calls. In the interests of inclusiveness, the deadlines for some calls have been extended exceptionally for all candidates. The deadline for the European Research Council (ERC) Starting Grant Call has been extended from 24 October to 7 November, the ERC Synergy Call has been extended from 8 to 15 November, the European Innovation Council (EIC) Accelerator has been extended from 19 October to 8 November and the EIC ‘Pathfinder’ will be extended from 18 to 25 October.
