EPAPER
Now that we are at the halfway point of Horizon 2020, we can tell what the results of this promising programme are so far. We investigated and discovered: Horizon 2020 could be more effective if a few changes would be made.
Last Horizon 2020 period start
The European Commission announced the last programme period of Horizon 2020 and associated Work Programmes on Friday 27 October. With a budget of €30 billion for the next three years, almost 40% (!) of the total budget (€77 billion) will become available. There are thus enough opportunities for ambitious organisations engaged in research, technical development and innovation at the European level.

Energy transition has priority
The European Commission gave an explanation on the recently published Horizon 2020 Work Programme 2018-2020 for ‘Secure, Clean and Efficient Energy’.
