H2020 to receive extra €200M – and not €400

In the mid-term review the Commission suggested an increase of €400 million for HORIZON 2020- EU's funding programme for research and innovation. However, Günther Oettinger, recently appointed to manage the EU's budget, said H2020 will in the end only receive €200 million. The money that is allocated presents a compensation for the €2.2 billion that was taken from the programme to fund Juncker Plan: The European Fund for Strategic Investments.

This will make accessing funding from an already highly competitive programme even more challenging. If you would like to know more about EU funding for research and innovation; or if you need help with your H2020 application, please contact This email address is being protected from spambots.
