The European Commission is consulting stakeholders on possible improvements to Joint Undertakings and Article 185 initiatives under Horizon Europe. The consultation will collect evidence and views on their role, functioning and potential contribution to EU competitiveness, including in areas linked to agriculture and the bioeconomy. Responses may help inform the Commission’s impact assessment and the development of future European Partnerships. The consultation is open from 10 July to 16 October 2026, midnight Brussels time. National and regional administrations, academic and research institutions, technology centres, industry associations, SME intermediaries, research infrastructures, public bodies, NGOs and the general public can respond through the online questionnaire. Responses may be submitted in any official EU language.
