Horizon Europe

“Horizon Europe” is a research and innovation funding programme extending from 2021 until 2027. It will have a budget of around 95.5 billion Euro.

The Excellent Science pillar aims to increase the EU’s global scientific competitiveness. It supports frontier research projects defined and driven by top researchers themselves through the European Council, funds fellowships for experienced researchers, doctoral training networks and  exchanges for researchers through Marie-Skłodowska-Curie-Actions and invests in world-class research  infrastructures.

The Global Challenges and European Industrial Competiveness pillar supports research relating to societal challenges and reinforces technological and industrial capacities through clusters. It sets EU-missions with ambitious goals tackling some of our biggest problems. It also includes activities pursued by the Joint Research Centre, which supports EU and national policymakers with independent scientific evidence and technical support.

The Clusters contain:

• Health Culture,
• Creativity & Inclusive Societies,
• Civil Security for Society Digital,
• Industry & Space
• Climate, Energy & Mobility,
• Food, Bioeconomy, Natural Resources, Agriculture & Environment.

The Innovative Europe pillar aims to make Europe a frontrunner in market-creating innovation via the European Innovation Council. It also helps to develop the overall European innovation landscape through the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) which fosters the integration of the knowledge triangle of education, research and innovation.

• European Innovation Council
