Horizon 2020 - EU Programme for research and innovation

Horizon 2020 is the name of the EU Programme for research and innovation 2014-2020. It is built upon three pillars which will support research and innovation for "Excellent Science", "Industrial Leadership" and for tackling seven "Societal Challenges".

Other priorities will be addressed across all three pillars of Horizon 2020: e.g. social and economic sciences and humanities; international cooperation and the gender dimension will be integrated in all research fields.

Horizon 2020 shall also contribute to the functioning of the European Research Area and of the Innovation Union, as well as to other Europe 2020 flagships (e.g. the Digital Agenda).

In total, a budget of euro 79.4 billion has been allocated to Horizon 2020 (incl. EURATOM). This is an increase of approximately 30 percent in real terms compared to the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7).

As Horizon 2020 puts a stronger focus on innovation actions than earlier Framework Programmes for Research, the “European Institute of Innovation and Technology” (EIT) and parts of the former “Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme” (CIP) have been integrated into Horizon 2020.

Horizon 2020 will be implemented by the European Commission assisted by Programme Committees. Compared to the Seventh Framework Programme, Horizon 2020 Programme Committees are to play a more strategic role. Discussions on strategic planning and on ensuring links to nationally funded activities will be an essential part of their work.
