Additional €100 million agreed for Horizon Europe in 2022

The EU’s research programme Horizon Europe will receive an additional €100 million (£84 million) next year following negotiations over the bloc’s budget. The agreement will see support for the programme rise to €12.2 billion in 2022.

Horizon Europe is the EU’s main mechanism for financing fundamental research and innovation across the continent. The programme, launched this year to replace the previous Horizon 2020 initiative, will see almost €100 billion invested in research over seven years.
