European Commission
The total budget of a consortium project can range from several hundred thousand to several million euros. Under the Widening Participation instruments (Teaming, Twinning, ERA Chairs), a partner organisation may receive over €100,000; the exact amount depends on the terms of the specific call.
Uzbekistan is not an “associated country” of the European Union (as confirmed in official EU documents), so Uzbek organisations cannot act as project coordinator. However, they can join as a “third country” partner — if the call conditions explicitly allow it or their participation is deemed essential to the project, the Uzbek organisation may receive EU funding; otherwise, participation is at the organisation's own expense.
Join as a partner in a consortium led by an EU (or associated-country) organisation; all calls are published on the EU Funding & Tenders Portal (ec.europa.eu/info/funding-tenders), which is also where applications are submitted.
Periodic
There is no single fixed deadline — Horizon Europe regularly launches thematic calls, each with its own submission deadline (in 2026, dozens of calls are open simultaneously, e.g. HORIZON-CL2-2026, HORIZON-CL4-2026, HORIZON-HLTH-2026).
OeAD — Austria's Agency for Education and Internationalisation
The grant provides a stipend of EUR 1,300 per month during the research stay in Austria, plus assistance with accommodation and health insurance. Grant duration ranges from 1 to 9 months and cannot be extended.
TWAS + UNESCO
TWAS covers travel costs to the host centre of excellence and provides a monthly allowance of USD 300 for local living expenses; the host centre covers accommodation, meals and research infrastructure. Associateship status is granted for a 3-year term, during which the associate may visit the centre twice (2-3 months each visit); the term may be renewed for a further 3-year period if funds permit.
European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO)
Fellows receive a monthly salary or stipend (per EMBO's official country-specific “Contract Rates” schedule), a relocation allowance, and support for childcare costs (up to €2,500/year per child under age six).
