Horizon Europe Cluster 3 partner search

Civil Security for Society. Disaster-resilient societies, protection and security, cybersecurity, and border and external security research.

Why partner fit decides Cluster 3 proposals

Cluster 3 (Civil Security for Society) topics are evaluated on excellence, impact, and implementation — and each depends on the consortium. Reviewers look for complementary, eligible partners with a credible track record in the call area. Generic networking rarely beats evidence that a team has already delivered together under Cluster 3 or adjacent Horizon Europe work.

What Cluster 3 covers

  • Disaster-resilient societies
  • Protection and security
  • Cybersecurity
  • Border and external security

How to run a Cluster 3-focused search

Open the Partner Finder with Horizon Europe selected and Cluster 3 calls seeded (call codes starting HORIZON-CL3). Add a topic or keyword that matches your work programme slice, then narrow by country or coordinator geography when you need a specific legal seat or balanced consortium leadership. GRANTIBASE surfaces top organizations, coordinator-heavy entities, recurring collaboration pairs, and related funded projects drawn from real CORDIS participations — a shortlist for proposal preparation, not academic browsing.

Always cross-check eligibility, budget, and template rules on the official Funding & Tenders Portal — GRANTIBASEcomplements the funder's systems, it does not replace them.
