Horizon Europe explained
Horizon Europe is the European Union’s main funding instrument for research and innovation. Over a period of seven years, € 95.5 billion are available for researchers in universities, companies and other institutions. The goal is to ensure Europe produces world-class science, removes barriers to innovation and makes it easier for the public and private sectors to work together in delivering innovation.
UEG aims at making access to these programmes easier through information updates, reference documents and network creation, as well as UEG Week sessions.
