European Commission launches new Horizon Europe framework programme

The EU’s new ambitious framework programme on Research and Innovation has been launched, for the period of 2021 to 2027.

Building on the foundations previously laid by Horizon 2020, Horizon Europe aims to support top researchers, innovators, and citizens to develop the knowledge and solutions needed for a green, digital and healthy future.

The new Framework Programme for Research and Innovation has a budget of around € 95,5 billion, which includes € 5,4 billion from NextGenerationEU (the EU’s stimulus package) to boost recovery and make the EU more resilient for the future.

The programme provides new instruments, such as the European Innovation Council, Research Missions and Partnerships to boost the EU R&I landscape.
