Besides those provided by the framework programme (e.g. Horizon 2020 or  Horizon Europe), other funding opportunities for research are available at European level. A variety of topics and areas are concerned. The funding for some specific sectors and fields can be managed by the competent Directorate Generals (DG), with their own financial resources and competitive calls for proposals. Other programmes are directly managed by the European Commission and not included in the Framework Programme. Such funding schemes can fund research projects and/or networking/dissemination/sharing of best practices activities.

There are also other funding instruments, programmes and synergies that are partly included and supported within the Horizon 2020 budget, following participation rules that are quite different from the ones in the three pillars, also involving the participation of organizations, that may be bound by long-term contractual constraints or by the constitution of new fully legal entities composed either of institutional and industry categories representatives or public consortia. These synergies are supported in order to pursue complex and challenging strategic goals of public interest and with a long-term prospective. It is the case of joint programming, transnational calls for proposals between public authorities, public-private & public-public partnerships and other synergies requiring the effective collaboration between public and private sectors.
