Horizon Europe Participation
Coordination, governance, and preparation of research
& innovation actions.
Why Horizon Europe
Horizon Europe provides the institutional framework for addressing complex, systemic challenges that cannot be solved through isolated tools or products.
The Internet Houses initiative addresses a structural gap at the intersection of:
- public knowledge infrastructures
- web architecture
- AI ingestion and governance
These challenges require coordinated research, architectural framing, and institutional alignment — conditions explicitly supported by Horizon Europe instruments.
Why Coordination and Support Actions
Coordination and Support Actions (CSA) are the institutionally intended instruments for:
- preparing complex research and innovation actions
- building and aligning multi-actor consortia
- clarifying governance, scope, and architectural responsibilities
For initiatives operating at the level of infrastructure, standards, and public knowledge environments,
CSA provide the appropriate entry point before Research & Innovation Actions (RIA).
Intended pathway
- Phase 1: Exploratory architectural work
- Phase 2: Coordination & Support Action (CSA)
– consortium formation
– governance & architecture framing - Phase 3: Research & Innovation Action (RIA)
– implementation & validation
This staged approach reflects established Horizon Europe best practices.
Role and positioning
