With a total budget of 80billion, it is designed to drive scientific excellence, industrial competitiveness, and societal challenges across the 28 Member States (now 27) and associated countries.</p> <p>The programme succeeds previous EU frameworks FP7 (20072013) and sets the stage for the next longterm framework, Horizon Europe, which starts in 2021.</p> </section> <section id="objectives"> <h2>Key Objectives</h2> <ul> <li><strong>Scientific excellence:</strong> Support frontier research that expands knowledge and creates new technologies.</li> <li><strong>Industrial leadership:</strong> Boost European companies, especially SMEs, to bring innovations to market.</li> <li><strong>Societal challenges:</strong> Address pressing issues such as health, climate change, energy, food security, and inclusive growth.</li> <li><strong>Open science and open innovation:</strong> Promote open access to results, data sharing, and collaborative platforms.</li> </ul> </section> <section id="structure"> <h2>Structure & Pillars</h2> <p>Horizon2020 is organised around three interlinked pillars:</p> <h3>1. Excellent Science</h3> <p>Funded through the European Research Council (ERC), Marie SkodowskaCurie Actions, and Future & Emerging Technologies (FET). This pillar nurtures groundbreaking ideas and researchers at all career stages.</p> <h3>2. Industrial Leadership</h3> <p>Contains three clusters:</p> <ul> <li><strong>Leadership in Enabling and Industrial Technologies (LEIT):</strong> robotics, nanotechnology, advanced manufacturing, etc.</li> <li><strong>Smart Cities and Communities (SCC):</strong> urban mobility, digital services, sustainable infrastructures.</li> <li><strong>Food, Bioeconomy, Natural Resources, Agriculture and Environment (FBNR):</strong> food safety, bio-based products, water management.</li> </ul> <h3>3. Societal Challenges</h3> <p>Eight challenge areas, each addressing a specific problem:</p> <ul> <li>Health, Demographic Change and WellBeing</li> <li>Secure, Clean and Efficient Energy</li> <li>Smart, Green and Integrated Transport</li> <li>Climate Action, Environment and Resource Efficiency</li> <li>Food Security, Sustainable Agriculture and Forestry</li> <li>Secure Societies</li> <li>Inclusive Societies</li> <li>Science with and for Society</li> </ul> <p>Each challenge combines research, demonstration, and marketpull activities to bring solutions from laboratory to citizens.</p> </section> <section id="budget"> <h2>Budget & Funding Instruments</h2> <p>The 80billion budget was split roughly as follows:</p> <ul> <li>24bn Excellent Science</li> <li>25bn Industrial Leadership</li> <li>31bn Societal Challenges</li> </ul> <p>Funding is delivered through grants, collaborative projects, and procurement contracts. The most common instruments are:</p> <ul> <li><strong>Grant agreements:</strong> Typical for research consortia (24years).</li> <li><strong>Innovation actions:</strong> Focus on prototyping, testing, and marketreadiness.</li> <li><strong>Coordination and support actions:</strong> Provide networking, standardisation, and policy advice.</li> <li><strong>Public procurement:</strong> Direct purchases of innovative solutions by EU institutions.</li> </ul> <p>SMEs can receive up to 100% of eligible costs under the SME instrument, while larger organisations usually obtain up to 70%.</p> </section> <section id="impact"> <h2>Impact & Success Stories</h2> <div class="highlight"> <p><strong>Health:</strong> The European Clinical Research Infrastructure Network (ECRIN) accelerated multicentre trials for rare diseases, expediting drug development.</p> <p><strong>Energy:</strong> The SmartGrids project demonstrated largescale integration of renewable sources, influencing EU policy on electricity markets.</p> <p><strong>Digital innovation:</strong> The LHC (Large Hadron Collider) dataprocessing techniques fostered the creation of the Worldwide LHC Computing Grid, a precursor to modern cloudcomputing services.</p> </div> <p>Overall, Horizon2020 generated more than 300000 peerreviewed publications, over 45000 patents, and contributed to the creation of thousands of jobs across the research ecosystem.</p> </section> <section id="future"> <h2>Beyond Horizon2020 Horizon Europe</h2> <p>Starting in 2021, Horizon Europe builds on the lessons of Horizon2020 with a 95.5billion budget for 20212027. It introduces new features such as:</p> <ul> <li><strong>Missionoriented research:</strong> Dedicated missions on cancer, climateneutral cities, healthy oceans, etc.</li> <li><strong>Enhanced support for the European Green Deal.</strong></li> <li><strong>Strengthened partnership with the private sector via the European Innovation Council (EIC).</strong></li> </ul> <p>The transition is designed to ensure continuity of funding, keep existing collaborations alive, and amplify Europe's global scientific standing.</p> </section></main>
