In February 2021, the European Commission adopted an EU Strategy on Adaptation to Climate Change that sets out how the EU can adapt to the unavoidable impacts of climate change and become climate resilient by 2050. Pushing further on the belief that we must adjust now to tomorrow’s climate, the EU has launched, in the same year, the EU Mission on Adaptation to Climate Change to support at least 150 regions and local authorities to become climate-resilient by 2030.
The goal of the 2025 call is to consolidate the building blocks of the mission, address challenges identified, and increase concrete support to regions and local authorities, to match the oversubscription to the Mission by the Charter signatories and interested parties. The actions presented in this call are going to:
Provide support to regional and local authorities for them to understand better their current and future climate risks and to design more robust adaptation plans. Test and demonstrate innovative climate adaptation solutions that will be made available for regional and local authorities, especially for those in hotspots regions. This will enlarge the portfolio of solutions already made available by the previous Mission’s calls. Develop new knowledge on how to unlock investment from the private sector in adaptation solutions. Finally, in 2025, the Adaptation Mission is also co-financing the Climate City Capital Hub, which is listed under “Specific Grant Agreement to the FPA to reinforce the operations of the Climate-Neutral and Smart Cities Mission Platform” in the Work Programme Part of the Cities Mission. This action will reinforce synergies between the Adaptation and Cities Missions supporting cities in finding financing solutions for both mitigation as well as adaptation projects.
Potential applicants may also find it helpful to watch recordings of the EU Missions Info Days on 22-23 May and register for brokerage opportunities (registration is open until 30 Sep 2025).
UK organisations and businesses can apply for Horizon Europe funding, working as part of a three-country consortium with at least one member from within the EU (see “Who can apply?” below). If you are interested in one of the calls and would like to find a collaboration partner, contact Innovate UK Business Connect’s European Programmes team.

In line with Horizon Europe, all the actions supported by this call are open to actors from EU Member States and Horizon Europe Associated Countries. However, regional and local authorities already engaged in the Mission activities (e.g. Charter Signatories, Community of Practice) have already proven their commitment and motivation to work towards the objectives of the mission and, as such, they provide ideal sites where the testing and demonstration of innovative approaches could take place.
Unless otherwise provided for in the specific call/topic conditions, only legal entities forming a consortium are eligible to participate in Horizon Europe actions provided that the consortium includes, as beneficiaries, three legal entities independent from each other and each established in a different country as follows:
at least one independent legal entity established in a Member State; and at least two other independent legal entities, each established in different Member States or Associated Countries (this includes the UK). Our European team can help you find eligible partners to form a consortium.
There may be further eligibility conditions for specific topics. Please check the Work Programme and contact our team to ensure your eligibility before applying.

The Work Programme 2025 of the Climate-Neutral and Smart Cities Mission, in line with the Implementation Plan of the Cities Mission, supports the implementation of the Mission by providing strong and direct support to cities committed to climate-neutrality, enabling them to implement their climate action plans and achieve climate-neutrality by 2030. The cities benefitting from these actions will act as experimentation and innovation hubs for other European cities aiming to become climate-neutral by 2050.
Cities’ green and digital transformation with the aim of climate-neutrality is associated with important co-benefits and urban qualities such as reduced air and noise pollution, more sustainable mobility, improved health and well-being, reduced urban environmental footprints, enhanced urban greening, more efficient use of energy and infrastructures, as well as improved waste and water management. It also improves policy coherence across sectors and stimulates participatory and inclusive decision-making.UK organisations and businesses can apply for Horizon Europe funding, working as part of a three-country consortium with at least one member from within the EU (see “Who can apply?” below).

🚀 About the Challenge Welcome to the BlinkSwag Design Hackathon — where creativity meets clickable.
This one’s for high school designers ready to flex their skills! Your mission? Design interactive web elements (like buttons, modals, menus, or animations) that could live on BlinkSwag.com, our swag-tastic hub for branded merch.
We’re looking for fresh ideas that are not just functional but also FUN — think slick, scroll-stopping, and super usable. Your designs should help elevate the user experience while keeping BlinkSwag’s playful, bold vibe front and center.
Whether it's a gamified product picker, a funky hover animation, or a surprise "Swag Drop" element — we want to see how you’d make the BlinkSwag site pop.
💡 Get Started Explore BlinkSwag.com — take notes on the branding, color palette, tone, and flow.
Pick a web element you’d like to redesign or create from scratch.
Design it using your favorite tools (Figma, Adobe XD, Canva — whatever makes you groove).
Add interactivity — show how it works, what it does, and why it's cool.
Submit your mockups or prototypes with a short explanation of the UX idea and your design decisions.
Bonus points for originality, usability, and how well it fits the BlinkSwag brand personality.
 
 
Requirements
📦 Submission Requirements Here’s what you’ll need to bring your swag-iest design idea to life:
🛠️ What to Build:
One interactive web element designed for BlinkSwag.com
Think: an animated button, floating cart icon, scroll-triggered section, custom hover effect, product sorter — anything small but impactful that improves user experience.
Your design should reflect BlinkSwag’s bold and fun tone — think vibrant, smooth, and just the right amount of funky.
You don’t need to code it (unless you want to flex). A prototype/mockup is totally fine!
📁 What to Submit on Devpost:
 
A working mockup or prototype
→ Use tools like Figma, XD, Canva, or even hand-drawn sketches (if they're clear).
Screenshots and/or a short demo video (60–90 seconds works great)
→ Show off the interaction and what problem it solves or experience it enhances.
Brief write-up (3–5 sentences)
→ Tell us what your element does, why you designed it this way, and how it fits BlinkSwag’s vibe.
Include a link to your design (Figma link, Google Drive, etc.)
→ Make sure sharing permissions are set to “Anyone with the link can view.”

As part of the vision to achieve healthy soils by 2050, outlined in the EU soil strategy for 2030, the European Commission proposed a Directive on Soil Monitoring and Resilience, addressing key threats such as erosion, floods and landslides, loss of soil organic matter, salinisation, contamination, compaction, sealing, and loss of soil biodiversity. The Mission ‘A Soil Deal for Europe’ is recognized as a key instrument for its implementation, aiming to establish 100 living labs and lighthouses by 2030. The Mission is structured around four operational objectives:
build capacities and the knowledge base for soil stewardship; co-create and upscale place-based innovations to improve soil health in all places; develop an integrated EU soil monitoring system and track progress towards soil health; engage with the soil user community and society at large. Significant investments via the 2021-2024 Work Programmes have advanced the Mission’s objectives, establishing a solid infrastructure to support its projects and objectives. This has led to major progress in the EU soil health monitoring framework, with data and knowledge from Mission projects feeding into the EU Soil Observatory and the European Soil Data Centre (ESDAC), aiding Member States in implementing the future Directive. The first EUwide soil health observatory dashboard, launched in March 2023, provides 19 key soil health parameters and maps degradation processes across Europe. Efforts continue to develop costeffective indicators and methodologies for monitoring soil health at local, regional, and EU levels, leveraging digital and earth observation technologies.
Potential applicants are invited to watch the recordings of the EU Missions Info Days on 22-23 May and register for brokerage and matchmaking opportunities (registration is open until 30 Sep 2025).
The UK National Contact Points have also prepared a series of recorded briefings which includes Briefing 7 Ocean and Soil Missions, covering this mission.
Horizon Europe Cluster 5: Climate, Energy and Mobility and Cluster 6: Food, Bioeconomy, Natural Resources, Agriculture and Environment also include calls related to this topic.

The New European Bauhaus (NEB) was launched in 2021, striving to translate the European Green Deal into tangible change on the ground. It is a multi-annual (2025-2027) and cross-cutting tool to revitalise European neighbourhoods with design for sustainability and inclusion. It will support projects on the sustainable transformation of the built environment. The NEB Facility aims to make the inhabitants of the built environment partners of change.
Activities under the NEB Facility should contribute to the wider social acceptance of the innovative solutions developed, accelerating the just green and digital transformation and strengthening and restoring citizens’ trust in democracy. They should also explore the built environment’s function in the conservation and restoration of natural ecosystems, its relation to historical urban, peri-urban or rural areas, the improvement of social cohesion as well as people’s health and well-being.
Calls under the NEB Facility are divided into three Destinations:
Connecting the green transformation, social inclusion and local democracy Circular and regenerative approaches for the built environment Innovative funding and new business models for the transformation of neighbourhoods Details of the calls under each Destination are given below. These are all single-stage calls with a deadline of 12 November 2025.
An online info day for the New European Bauhaus Facility was held on Wednesday 4 June: click here for further information and recordings from the info day.
The UK National Contact Point also ran a webinar for UK based participants only on 12 June – click here for further information and to watch the recordings.
Pre-recorded videos about each destination are also available:
Destination 1: Connecting the green transformation, social inclusion and local democracy – Video | Presentation slides Destination 2: Circular and regenerative approaches for the built environment – Video | Presentation slides Destination 3: Innovative funding and new business models for the transformation of neighbourhoods – Video | Presentation slides UK organisations and businesses can apply for Horizon Europe funding, working as part of a three-country consortium with at least one member from within the EU (see “Who can apply?” below). If you are interested in one of the calls and would like to find a collaboration partner, contact Innovate UK Business Connect’s European Programmes team.
Please note that UK based participants may only apply to NEB calls under HORIZON which will state “HORIZON-NEB” in the call title. They must not apply for NEB calls under other EU programmes as the UK is ineligible under those.
