Horizon Europe (2021-2027) is the European Union’s (EU’s) key funding programme for research and innovation, with a budget of more than €93.5 billion. The programme is built around three main pillars – excellent science, global challenges and industrial competitiveness, and innovative Europe.

Five missions relating to climate change, cancer, oceans and water, carbon-neutral cities and soil health, also form an integral part of Horizon Europe.

Ireland enjoys a strong track record in European Framework Programmes, winning €1.2 billion in funding through Horizon 2020 (2014-2020).

Our National Support Network for Horizon Europe works with Ireland’s researchers, innovators and entrepreneurs to help them compete for and win funding to advance their research and innovation ambitions.
