Instrument navigator for policy makers

Decision support, not legal advice. This navigator orders options from your answers with a fixed, published rule set; it does not decide. The legal basis, the work programme, the call conditions and the Financial Regulation prevail. Check with the responsible Directorate-General, the implementing body and your legal service before choosing an instrument.

Something to do and not sure which EU instrument fits? Answer a few questions (each has "Not sure") and the navigator ranks the instruments that could do it: Horizon Europe actions and partnerships, Digital Europe, the Connecting Europe Facility, the EuroHPC and Chips Joint Undertakings, procurement procedures, pre-commercial procurement and public procurement of innovation, EIC and EIB Group finance, State aid and IPCEI, Member State-managed funds and networks. Each result says why it fits, why not, who runs it and what to read next.

Questionnaire

Answer what you know; "Not sure" never counts against an instrument. Questions that do not matter for your goal are set aside.

1. What do you want to do?

The main purpose of the action. Pick the closest; the other questions refine it.

2. How should the EU act?

Funding others (grants), buying for itself or for public authorities (procurement), investing or lending, or pooling Member States and national programmes.

3. How mature is the technology?

Technology readiness levels (TRL) as in the Horizon Europe General Annexes: 1-3 basic principles to proof of concept, 4-6 validation and demonstration in a relevant environment, 7-8 prototype in an operational environment to a qualified system, 9 proven in operation.

4. Who should do the work or receive the support?

The organisations that carry out the action or are supported.

5. How many countries take part?

Where the action takes place and who must join.

6. Will national or regional money co-fund it?

Some instruments need Member State or national co-funding; others are funded by the EU budget alone.

7. What is the order of magnitude of the money involved?

Total public money for the action, EU and national together.

8. When must it start?

Instruments that need a new work programme, a Member State agreement or a Commission decision take longer than a call already planned.

9. Must the results belong to the public buyer?

In grants the beneficiaries own the results; in procurement the buyer usually owns or uses them; in pre-commercial procurement the suppliers keep the intellectual property and the buyer gets use rights.

10. Is the subject security-sensitive?

Security-sensitive: participation may be limited to EU-controlled entities (as Horizon Europe Article 22(5) and Digital Europe Article 12 allow). Defence: military use or classified information.

Start again

Security or defence goals: the defence instruments are shown in the restricted view for Commission and Member State users.

5. Co-programmed European Partnerships

Good fit: 58% · European partnerships and Missions · Partnership or body that runs other instruments

Why this

  • How the EU acts: Pool or align Member States and national programmes fits.

Watch out

  • Goal: Build industrial or manufacturing capacity is possible, but not its main use. It is mainly for: Coordinate, network, align programmes or standards; Research: new knowledge, early-stage science; Innovation: develop, test or demonstrate a technology.
What it is for
Co-programmed partnerships rest on memoranda of understanding or contractual arrangements between the Commission and partners, setting objectives, financial and in-kind commitments, KPIs, results and reporting, and identifying complementary R&I activities by partners and the programme. (Regulation (EU) 2021/695 establishing Horizon Europe, laying down its rules for participation and dissemination, Article 10(1)(a))
Funding rate or co-funding
Funding follows the action type of each topic (for example 100% RIA, 70% IA). (Horizon Europe Work Programme 2026-2027, Part 15: General Annexes, General Annex G, p. 31)
Who owns the results
Projects funded through partnership topics follow standard Horizon Europe ownership rules: beneficiaries own their results. (Regulation (EU) 2021/695 establishing Horizon Europe, laying down its rules for participation and dissemination, Article 38(1))
Legal basis
Regulation (EU) 2021/695, Article 10(1)(a), 10(2)-(4) and Annex III. (Regulation (EU) 2021/695 establishing Horizon Europe, laying down its rules for participation and dissemination, Article 10; Annex III)

6. Teaming for Excellence (and the 2026 Teaming Synergies action)

Good fit: 58% · Horizon Europe: researchers, excellence and widening · Grant (the beneficiaries carry out and own the work)

Why this

  • How the EU acts: Pool or align Member States and national programmes fits.

Watch out

  • Goal: Build industrial or manufacturing capacity is possible, but not its main use. It is mainly for: Skills and talent: train or attract people; Research: new knowledge, early-stage science; Deploy infrastructure (computers, networks, testbeds, facilities).
What it is for
Funding rate or co-funding
Typical size
Who owns the results
Beneficiaries own the results they generate. (Regulation (EU) 2021/695 establishing Horizon Europe, laying down its rules for participation and dissemination, Article 38(1))
Time to grant or contract
Horizon Europe maxima: 5 months to inform applicants and 8 months to sign grant agreements. (Regulation (EU) 2021/695 establishing Horizon Europe, laying down its rules for participation and dissemination, Article 31(1))
Legal basis
Teaming is an area of intervention under 'widening participation and spreading excellence', funded from the EUR 2 842 000 000 envelope.

7. European Digital Infrastructure Consortium (EDIC)

Good fit: 58% · Digital Europe Programme · Partnership or body that runs other instruments

Why this

  • How the EU acts: Pool or align Member States and national programmes fits.

Watch out

  • Goal: Build industrial or manufacturing capacity is possible, but not its main use. It is mainly for: Deploy infrastructure (computers, networks, testbeds, facilities); Coordinate, network, align programmes or standards.
What it is for
Who owns the results
An EDIC can acquire, own and dispose of property, including intellectual property; its statutes must set rules on ownership of infrastructure, IP, profits and other assets. (Decision (EU) 2022/2481 establishing the Digital Decade Policy Programme 2030, Articles 13(4), 17(1)(h))
Legal basis
Decision (EU) 2022/2481 (Digital Decade Policy Programme 2030), Articles 13-21 on EDICs. (Decision (EU) 2022/2481 establishing the Digital Decade Policy Programme 2030, Articles 13-21)
Who to contact
European Commission, DG CNECT
Next steps
  • At least three Member States apply to the Commission; the EDIC is set up by a Commission implementing decision after the Digital Decade committee.
  • Draft the statutes, the multi-country project and the contributions.
Verification
Partly verified. Decision 2022/2481 was read in full via the Publications Office. No quantum-related EDIC proposal or decision was found on an official page I could read, and the Quantum Europe Strategy (COM(2025) 363) does not mention EDICs. The Commission EDIC page was blocked (403), so the current list of EDICs was not checked.

How the navigator decides

Each answer you give (not "Not sure", and not a question set aside for your goal) is compared with the fit profile of every instrument. An instrument earns the question's weight when your answer is one of the options its profile lists; for the goal it earns the weight times the level its profile gives that goal (3 a primary purpose, 2 a common use, 1 possible but not its main use, 0 not for this). The score is the share of the weights it earned among those it could earn, in per cent; a question its profile leaves empty does not matter for it and counts neither way. A mismatch on a blocking question (the goal at level 0, how the EU acts, who must own the results, sensitivity) rules the instrument out and the reason is shown. Ties go to the higher goal level, then to the order of the knowledge base. Results at 75% or more are a strong fit, at 55% or more a good fit, from 40% a possible fit; at most eight are shown. The decision tree uses the same rules with the goal and the role answers alone. Nothing is learned from use and no AI is involved.
