Horizon Europe (HEu) is the 7-year European Union scientific research initiative and will run from 2021 to 2027. The budget for HEu is €95.5 billion. Horizon Europe will keep the same focus on excellent research of its predecessor, Horizon 2020. Funding calls will be based on three main areas: Excellent science, Global challenges and European industrial competitiveness, and Innovative Europe.
