One step closer to world's largest research programme
Two EU Commissioners and research and innovation ministers from across the EU have gathered in Copenhagen for two days of intensive discussions and workshops that will pave the way for the world's largest research programme, Horizon 2020, with a proposed budget of EUR 80 billion.
On the background of an ambitious proposal from Commissioner Máire Geoghegan-Quinn, the ministers have discussed how to ensure more simplified access to funding and less bureaucracy than in the preceding research programmes. And not least how to better transform research and innovation to growth in Europe.
