The largest EU funded Research and Innovation Programme
Horizon Europe is the largest EU Research and Innovation programme; succeeding Horizon 2020. This programme with a budget of more than 95 billion euro will focus on three pillars; namely; Excellent Science, Global challenges and European Industrial Competitiveness, and Innovative Europe.
This programme will promote excellence and provide valuable support to top researchers and innovators to drive the systematic changes needed to ensure a green, healthy and resilient Europe.
It will also cover the Widening Participation and Strengthening of the European Research Area through a wide spectrum of measures to support lower R&I performing countries, to build up excellence centers, improve their capacity and facilitate collaborative links.
Missions in Horizon Europe
Missions are commitments to solve some of the greatest challenges facing our world. They are an integral part of the Horizon Europe framework programme. Each mission will operate as a portfolio of actions – such as research projects, policy measures or even legislative initiatives – to achieve a measurable goal that could not be achieved through individual actions. Areas where there will be missions include:
Adaptation to climate change including societal transformation
Healthy oceans, seas coastal and inland waters
European Partnerships in Horizon Europe
Horizon Europe will support European partnerships with EU countries, the private sector, foundations and other stakeholders. The aim is to deliver on global challenges and industrial modernization through concerted research and innovation efforts. The Horizon Europe proposal lays down the conditions and principles for establishing European Partnerships. Full information on European Partnerships including candidates and contact details
