​Support for Horizon 2020 Projects

  
Horizon 2020 is the biggest EU Research and Innovation programme ever with nearly €80 billion of funding available over 7 years (2014 to 2020) – in addition to the private investment that this money will attract. It promises more breakthroughs, discoveries and world-firsts by taking great ideas from the lab to the market.

The program areas include Excellent Science, Industrial Leadership (including Future Internet), Societal Challenges, Spreading Excellence and Widening Participation, Science with and for Society, European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT), and Euratom.
