HORIZON 2020, the EU’s instrument supporting research, innovation, and science worth nearly €80bn over the next seven years, is one of the most open publicly funded programmes of its kind worldwide.

Representatives from the research, education, private, and public sectors from 185 different countries have already participated in the previous EU R&D framework programme.
