Deze Green Deal Call verschilt van eerdere oproepen binnen Horizon 2020. Gezien de urgentie van de uitdagingen die het wil aanpakken, streeft het naar duidelijke, waarneembare resultaten op korte tot middellange termijn, maar met uitzicht op verandering op lange termijn. Er zijn minder, maar meer gerichte, grotere en zichtbare acties, met de nadruk op snelle schaalbaarheid, verspreiding en acceptatie.

De deadline voor de indiening van projecten is 26 januari 2021. Neem zeker ook deel aan de informatiesessie en het brokerage event dat virtueel zal plaatsvinden tijdens de European Research & Innovation Days.
