EU and India complete research funding negotiations
Horizon Europe will strengthen EU-India relations and improve scientific cooperation to address global challenges.
India’s association with the funding programme will provide opportunities for Europe to collaborate with Indian partners and build research links.
Horizon Europe runs from 2021 to 2027, with a budget of €93.5 bln, and aims to bring together expertise and resources to advance scientific excellence and innovation.
With a focus on climate change, the programme contributes to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals and boosts the EU’s competitiveness and growth.
Once the agreement is signed, researchers and organisations in India will be able to receive funding and lead collaborative projects under its Pillar II: ‘Global Challenges and European Industrial Competitiveness'.
This is the largest part of the programme which funds collaborative, multi-national research and innovation projects tackling global issues associated with health, digital, industry, space, climate, energy, and bioeconomy.
The association will create opportunities for European and Indian partners to combine expertise and address shared scientific challenges.
