Horizon Europe 2021 - 2027
"A Europe that protects, a Europe that empowers, a Europe that defends"
The Directors of the European Commission, Jean-Claude Juncker
With an allocation of €100 billion, of which €2.4 billion for the Euratom syllabus, the European Commission has proposed the most ambitious research and innovation syllabus ever: HORIZON EUROPE.
- strengthening science and technological research, supporting excellent researchers and cutting-edge projects
- promoting industrial competitiveness and innovation performance, by funding proposals with the highest market potential through the European Innovation Council and the European Institute of Innovation and Technology;
- implement its strategic priorities, such as the Parigi Agreement on climate change and address the major societal challenges affecting the quality of daily life
- Establishment of the European Innovation Council (EIT), which will identify the most innovative and high-risk proposals, with strong potential to create new markets;
- Identification of ambitious missions (Missions, second pillar) with a strong impact on daily life, focused on social challenges and industrial competitiveness;
- Greater openness towards collaboration with third countries;
- Open Access for publications and mandatory Data Management Plan for FAIR and Open Research Data;
- Simpler, more coherent and strategic European partnerships;
- Simplified administrative rules.
Following the presentation of the syllabus by the European Commission on 7 June 2018, the Council and the European Parliament negotiated the proposal so that HORIZON EUROPE starts on 1 January 2021.
The Council had agreed its position on the syllabus on 30 November 2018.
