What is EU Funding Radar?
EU Funding Radar is a free weekly newsletter that helps startups and small businesses find EU grants and funding calls. We read through the official EU listings so you don't have to, and send you the calls that matter in plain English.
We are independent and not affiliated with the European Commission or any EU agency.
Who is it for?
- Startup founders looking for non-dilutive money (grants) or EU-backed investment.
- SME owners who want to fund innovation, digitalisation or green projects.
- Researchers spinning out companies from universities and labs.
- Consultants and grant writers who need a quick weekly scan of new opportunities for their clients.
- Accountants and advisers who want to point clients to the right funding at the right time.
What do I get each Monday?
- This week in 30 seconds: the headline calls and deadlines at a glance.
- Closing soon: calls with deadlines in the next few weeks, so you don't miss them.
- New and featured calls: for each one we cover what it funds, who can apply, the money available, the deadline and a direct link to the official page.
- A "good fit if…" line and a difficulty tag to help you decide quickly whether a call is worth your time.
Where does the data come from?
All call information comes from the official EU Funding & Tenders Portal, the European Commission's single site for EU calls. That includes Horizon Europe, the European Innovation Council (EIC), Digital Europe, LIFE and other programmes. We also link to the official programme pages where they help.
How are calls checked?
- We pull open and upcoming calls from the portal's public data.
- We check each call's own record for its status, deadline, budget and eligibility rules, and drop anything that has already closed.
- We confirm that each link points to a real, live call page.
- We never make up figures. If the portal doesn't publish an amount, we say so and point you to the official document.
How often is it updated?
Every week. A new issue goes out each Monday, and past issues are listed on our newsletter page. The guides on this site are reviewed whenever programme rules change.
