Horizon Europe is the ninth European Union's framework programme for research and innovation. It is the successor to the Horizon 2020 programme and spans from 2021 to 2027. Horizon Europe is designed to support and promote scientific research, technological development, and innovation across various disciplines and sectors.

The primary goal of Horizon Europe is to drive economic growth, address societal challenges, and strengthen Europe's scientific and technological competitiveness on a global scale. It aims to achieve this through funding research projects, fostering collaboration between academia, industry, and other stakeholders, and promoting the transfer of research outcomes to the market.

Horizon Europe has a budget of €95.5 billion and supports a wide range of research and innovation activities, including fundamental research, applied research, innovation projects, and support for research infrastructures. It covers various thematic areas, such as health, climate change, clean energy, digital technologies, transport, agriculture, and many others.
