However, entities established in China are not eligible to participate.
The funding mechanism is structured as a lump sum grant, with a total budget of €20.25 million allocated for this topic, supporting three projects, each expected to receive €6.75 million.
Consortia consisting of multiple partners are required for proposals, reflecting the collaborative nature typical of Horizon Innovation Actions. The geographic eligibility encompasses EU and EEA countries, as well as associated countries.
The targeted sectors include construction and renovation, emphasizing robotics, automation, and energy efficiency. The focus is on developing techniques that enhance the sustainability and efficiency of building processes, directly supporting the EU’s green transition goals.
Projects are expected to operate at a demonstration and market validation stage, aiming to bring innovative techniques closer to practical application across various building typologies and climatic conditions in Europe. Specifically, proposals should demonstrate their techniques at a minimum of three real-world settings.
The application process is a single-stage open call with a submission deadline of September 15, 2027. The evaluation criteria and success rates are not explicitly provided, but historical success rates for similar programs typically range between 10% to 40%.
No explicit co-funding requirement is mentioned, although applicants are encouraged to explore synergies with other funding sources. The expected outcomes include improved resource efficiency, accuracy in construction processes, reduced on-site time, and lower greenhouse gas emissions.
Overall, this initiative aims to transform the construction sector by integrating cutting-edge robotic and automated technologies, contributing to energy efficiency and sustainability while enhancing safety and operational performance at construction sites. It aligns with broader EU strategies for climate and digital transitions.

Detail
This is a Horizon Europe (HORIZON) call for proposals under the BATTERIES and ENERGY (HORIZON-CL5-2027-05) program, specifically targeting "On-site robotic and automated techniques for building renovation and new construction" with the topic ID HORIZON-CL5-2027-05-D4-05. It is a HORIZON Innovation Action (HORIZON-IA) using a HORIZON Lump Sum Grant [HORIZON-AG-LS] Model Grant Agreement (MGA). The deadline model is single-stage, with a planned opening date of May 5, 2027, and a deadline of September 15, 2027, at 17:00:00 Brussels time.
The expected outcomes of projects funded under this topic include: improved resource efficiency compared to current practices, improved accuracy (designed vs. as-built) of on-site renovation and construction works, significant reduction in time spent by building professionals on site, and reduced GHG emissions at the construction site.
The scope of the call is to accelerate the rate of deep renovation of buildings by modernizing the construction sector and embracing the latest developments in robotics and automated systems. It focuses on the need for further development of techniques using innovative on-site robotic and other automated systems that make renovation and construction works more sustainable, less disruptive, faster, more accurate, cost-effective, and resource-efficient, while delivering at least the same building elements’ energy performance compared to current best practices.
Proposals are expected to address the following:
Demonstrate innovative on-site robotic and automated techniques for building renovation and the construction of new buildings, with at least one technique involving 3D printing.
Develop techniques specifically for building-site applications, flexible to adapt to various building typologies and, where possible, to materials and components already on the market (solutions focusing on prefabrication in workshops/factories away from the building site are out of scope).
Ensure that the proposed techniques appropriately consider aspects of on-site workers’ safety and human-robot collaboration.
Demonstrate the proposed techniques in at least three demonstrations to investigate their applicability for a variety of building typologies and climatic conditions, duly justified to represent a relevant part of the European building stock. Proposals must address the energy renovation of existing buildings but may also address new constructions.
Selected proposals could consider the involvement of the European Commission's Joint Research Centre (JRC), whose contribution could consist of scientific advice and technical analysis of solutions and technologies, support to the transfer of research output to standards, and access to the European Laboratory for Structural Assessment research infrastructure for full-scale testing of buildings.
This Destination targets the energy demand side, notably a more efficient use of energy in buildings and industry. It contributes to the activities of the Strategic Energy Technology Plan (SET Plan) and its implementation working groups. This Destination contributes directly to the Strategic Plan’s Key Strategic Orientations ‘Green transition’, ‘Digital transition’ and ‘A more resilient, competitive, inclusive and democratic Europe’. In line with the Strategic Plan, the overall expected impact of this Destination is to contribute to the ‘Using energy in buildings and industry in an efficient, affordable and sustainable way’.
The main impacts to be generated by topics under this Destination are: Highly energy-efficient and climate neutral European building stock. The energy performance of the European building stock is improved at an accelerated pace, contributing to the EU's energy security, while the buildings and the built environment have reduced climate and environmental impact throughout their life cycle.
