As Memorial may only submit up to three Destination Horizon Grant applications for a given deadline, an internal selection process will be followed.
Valued at $15,000 for one year, these grants are intended to support researchers affiliated with eligible Canadian postsecondary institutions to build capacity, foster existing partnerships, and further develop networks and/or consortia with European Union and other “associated countries” researchers, with the goal of applying to Horizon Europe—Pillar II calls for proposals.
This funding opportunity follows the agreement signed by the Government of Canada and the European Commission allowing for increased Canadian participation in Horizon Europe under Pillar 2. This agreement provides Canadians with greater access to Horizon Europe.
SSHRC’s competition is now open:
| Funding opportunity | Application deadlines |
| Destination Horizon Grants | September 22, 2025 |
All applications deemed eligible will be entered into a randomized selection process to determine awards. An eligible application that is not randomly selected for an award may be resubmitted for a future competition.
