Horizon Europe is the EU’s key funding programme for research and innovation with a budget of €95.5 billion.
The programme creates jobs, fully engages the EU’s talent pool, boosts economic growth, promotes industrial competitiveness and optimises investment impact within a strengthened European Research Area. Legal entities from the EU and associated countries can participate.
The Specific Programme's actions should address market failures or sub-optimal investment situations, boost investments in a proportionate and transparent manner, without duplicating or crowding out private financing and have a clear European added-value and public return on investments.
Later this year, C8 will host a webinar to help you bridge the funding gap between your growth potential and timely access to private investment.
In this new version of Horizon Europe, they have introduced a handful of new elements:
European Innovation Council: Support for innovations with potential breakthrough and disruptive nature with scale-up potential that may be too risky for private investors. This is 70% of the budget earmarked for SMEs.
Missions: Sets of measures to achieve bold, inspirational and measurable goals within a set timeframe. There are 5 main missions as part of Horizon Europe.
Open science policy: Mandatory open access to publications and open science principles are applied throughout the programme.
New approach to partnerships: Objective-driven and more ambitious partnerships with industry in support of EU policy objectives
