The European Parliament has given its backing to Horizon Europe, a multi-year research programme for the sciences with a proposed budget of €100 billion. The programme is scheduled to run from 2021 to 2027, succeeding Horizon 2020.
It will finance collaborative research projects across the sciences including healthcare and medicine research and development. Included in the programme is a European Innovation Council that will finance the work of entrepreneurs who are exploring new areas of science. This council has already been successfully operating as a pilot project.
