The Horizon 2020 programme is nearing its completion and will be replaced by Horizon Europe (2021-2027), the EU's ambitious research and innovation framework programme, with a € 100 billion budget proposed by the European Commission. The aim of the new programme is to strengthen the scientific and technological base of the EU and the European Research Area (ERA) and to stimulate the capacity for innovation, competitiveness and employment in Europe, fully meeting the priorities of citizens and maintaining the socio-economic model.
