The European Commission has recently launched EU TalentOn 2026, a flagship initiative that we believe will be of interest to many universities across Europe, and the Coimbra Group is the perfect ally to help us reach a wide and diverse audience!
EU TalentOn is a five-day European scientific competition bringing together early-career researchers (aged 21-35) from across Europe. Selected finalists will collaborate in multidisciplinary teams to develop innovative solutions addressing key challenges under the five EU Missions of Horizon Europe:
• Adaptation to Climate Change
• Cancer Prevention and Care
• Restore our Ocean and Water
• Climate-Neutral and Smart Cities
• A Soil Deal for Europe
The event will take place 7-11 September 2026 in Brest, France.
Participants will benefit from an intensive programme including coaching, workshops and networking activities.
Travel, accommodation and meals will be fully covered, and a total of €80,000 in prizes will be awarded, including a €12,000 Grand Jury Prize.
Application deadline: 30 April 2026.
