Informatics Europe in EU-Funded Projects

Driving collaboration, visibility and impact across Europe

Informatics Europe (IE) plays an active role in major European initiatives that strengthen Informatics research, education and societal engagement. With 200 member institutions across 30+ countries, IE brings together a unique network of academic leaders, researchers and organisations committed to advancing shared priorities at European scale.

Our Experience in European Projects

IE has a proven track record as both a grant holder and specialist partner in EU-funded initiatives, bringing strategic coordination, strong community engagement, and high-quality dissemination.

Grant Holder: COST Action Leadership

Beyond submitting the proposal, IE successfully acted as Grant Holder for the EUGAIN COST Action (2020-2024), overseeing financial, administrative and reporting responsibilities for a 160-participant and 45-country network committed to improving gender balance in Informatics. Our support ensured strong community cohesion, structured governance and excellent project outcomes, explicitly recognised by COST.

Communications & Networking Partner

IE’s pan-European reach makes us a trusted partner for project communication, stakeholder engagement and community-building.
We contribute to EU-funded projects through:

  • Strategic communication plans
  • High-visibility dissemination to the Informatics leadership community
  • Networking and community building across Europe
  • Support for sustainability and long-term uptake

Recent contributions include:

  • AIM-Pro (Horizon Europe / Erasmus+, 2026-present): started in February 2026, strengthening AI literacy for multidisciplinary professionals.
  • Inclusion4EU (Erasmus+, 2023-2025): fostering inclusion and accessibility in Informatics education.
  • Ethics4EU (Erasmus+, 2019-2022): advancing ethical competencies in Informatics curricula.
  • Collaborations with IE Ethics, Green ICT, Education Research, and Diversity and Inclusion Working Groups on submitted proposals.

Why Partner with Informatics Europe?

IE is uniquely positioned to amplify the impact and strengthen the preparation of EU-funded projects:
  • Support during proposal preparation, helping consortia refine concepts, identify gaps and suitable complementary partners.
  • Unmatched access to decision-makers in Informatics departments, labs and national societies.
  • Trusted reputation as the voice of academic Informatics in Europe.
  • Established expertise in communication, dissemination and stakeholder engagement.
  • A vibrant community actively shaping policy, curricula and research directions.
  • Long-term sustainability pathways through IE programmes and events (ECSS, Working Groups, Awards).

Partnering with IE ensures your project’s outcomes are visible, relevant and embraced by the European Informatics ecosystem.
