Horizon Europe
The Horizon Europe program has a budget of 95.5 billion euros, becoming the largest R &D&I funding program to date in the European Union. The programme is structured in three basic pillars.
The following infographics contribute to an overview of the Horizon Europe program:
- Pillar 1: Excellent science: It includes the ERC, Maria Slodovska Curie and Research Infrastructures program.
- Pillar 2: The Clusters: This pillar finances collaborative research around six thematic clusters.
- Inside Pillar 2 there is a new instrument, the Missions. They are a set of measures to achieve bold, inspirational and measurable goals within a set timeframe. There are 5 main missions as part of Horizon.
- Pillar 3: Innovative Europe: The Horizon Europe program introduces the European Innovation Council to support innovations that represent disruptive advances.
- Open Science: Mandatory open access to open science publications and principles that apply to the entire program.
- Partnerships: objective-driven and more ambitious partnerships with industry in support of EU policy objectives.
