EU Funding & Grants Monitor (Horizon Europe, LIFE, SME calls)

Find open and upcoming EU funding calls from the official EU Funding & Tenders Portal in one clean table: Horizon Europe, LIFE, Digital Europe, Erasmus+, EU4Health, CEF, Creative Europe, the European Defence Fund, cascade funding for SMEs and start-ups and EU External Action (EuropeAid) grants. Every row has the next deadline, days left, total budget, grant size per project and the link to apply.

• ✅ Official portal data (the same API the website uses), no API key, no login
• ✅ 3 kinds of funding: EU programme grants, cascade funding (FSTP / open calls for SMEs), EU External Action
• ✅ Next deadline calculated for you, also for calls with several cut-off dates or two stages
• ✅ Budget, expected number of grants and min/max EU contribution per project
• ✅ Filters: keywords, programme (HORIZON, LIFE, DIGITAL ...), deadline within X days, opened in the last X days, minimum budget
• ✅ Skips "zombie" calls the portal still shows as open after their last deadline
• ✅ Full call text and conditions (great for AI matching), latest news from the call page
• ✅ "Only new since the last run": a weekly funding newsletter on autopilot

Who is it for?

• Grant consultants and EU project offices: a complete pipeline of calls for your clients, with deadlines and budgets.
• SMEs and start-ups: find cascade funding calls (often €50k to €200k, no consortium needed) and EIC/Eurostars calls.
• Universities, research centres and NGOs: track every call in your field.
• Regional development agencies and chambers of commerce: send a weekly funding digest to your members.
• AI and SaaS tools: feed fresh EU funding data into a matching or recommendation engine.

How to use it

2. Optional: pick programmes, a deadline window or a minimum budget.

$4 per 1,000 calls (pay per result). A weekly "only new" run for one topic usually returns 5 to 30 calls: a few cents per month. Apify's free plan: max 100 calls per run.

Tips

• Searching for a theme? Use 2 or 3 short keywords instead of one long sentence.
• Budgets are what the portal publishes. For some calls the budget is shared by several topics; check the call page.
• Pair it with our Belgian & EU Tenders Monitor for public procurement (tenders) instead of grants.

Data and legal

Data comes from the public search service of the European Commission's Funding & Tenders Portal. The Actor only reads public call information, no personal data. Always check the official call page before you apply.
