Horizon 2020 (2014 - 2020)
Details
Description
Horizon 2020 - is a Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development, and is created by the European Union in order to support and encourage research in the European Research Area (ERA). This is the biggest EU Research and Innovation programme ever with nearly €80 billion of funding available over 7 years (2014 to 2020). By coupling research and innovation, Horizon 2020 is helping to achieve this with its emphasis on excellent science, industrial leadership and tackling societal challenges. The goal is to ensure Europe produces world-class science, removes barriers to innovation and makes it easier for the public and private sectors to work together in delivering innovation. The Horizon 2020 programme running from 2014 to 2020 has a €79 billion budget (a 46% increase over FP7).
It is structured around three core pillars:
- Excellent Science (~€24.4bn)
- Industrial Leadership (~€17bn)
- Societal Challenges (~€29.7bn)
Type of projects: mostly grants, no supplies, no works.
