The Green Deal Projects Support Office event on “Accelerating the green transition through R&I” is a one-day open event aimed at promoting the results and impacts of 73 projects funded under the Horizon 2020 Green Deal Call (GDC). 

The event will highlight how these projects support the implementation of the European Green Deal and related EU policy priorities, while fostering dialogue between projects, policymakers, and key stakeholders.

Organised by the Green Deal Projects Support Office (GD-SO) in the context of the Green Deal Call, this event will take place on 28 April 2026 at the Comet Louise in Brussels, Belgium. 

It aims to strengthen the visibility and long-term impacts of these EU-funded projects by providing a space for exchange around:

  • Project results and collective outputs
  • Contributions to EU Green Deal policy priorities
  • Networking , collaboration and pathways to extend impact beyond the lifetime of individual projects
