Horizon Europe is the EU’s research and innovation framework programme running from 2021-2027.

The EU institutions reached a political agreement on Horizon Europe on 11th December 2020 and set the budget for Horizon Europe at €95.5 billion in current prices (including €5.4 billion from the Next Generation of the EU – Recovery Fund). On this basis, the European Parliament and the Council of the EU proceed towards the adoption of the legal acts. The first Horizon Europe Strategic Plan (2021-2024) which sets out key strategic orientations for the support of Research and Innovation, was adopted on 15th March 2021.
