Horizon Europe Funding Competition
What is Horizon Europe?
Horizon Europe is the EU’s key funding programme for research and innovation with a budget of €95.5 billion. It tackles climate change, helps to achieve the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals and boosts the EU’s competitiveness and growth.
The programme facilitates collaboration and strengthens the impact of research and innovation in developing, supporting and implementing EU policies while tackling global challenges. It supports creating and better dispersing of excellent knowledge and technologies. It creates jobs, fully engages the EU’s talent pool, boosts economic growth, promotes industrial competitiveness and optimises investment impact within a strengthened European Research Area.
UK companies are able to benefit from Horizon Europe funding competition and it gives an important opportunity to collaborate internationally. SMI is keen to raise awareness of the funding which will help develop and strengthen the UK shipbuilding enterprise. For further questions on the funding please contact SMI and we will provide the introduction to Louise Mothersole from Innovate UK.
