The European Commission published today an updated work programme for 2017 of Horizon 2020, the EU’s research and innovation funding scheme.

The major novelty of the new programme is the introduction of open research data in all new Horizon 2020 calls, making the free online access to scientific data the norm. The new programme will also support research of migration trends and policies and will increase funding for cutting-edge research.
