Programmes Horizon EuropeDiscussions on future EU support to research and innovation are in full swing. Many member states have issued position papers in the past months while some had already taken position as early as end of 2023.
Last week, a group of experts tasked with advising the European Commission on the next Framework Programme for research and innovation (R&I) presented their report, recommending a major overhaul of EU funding instruments.
Here below we offer an overview of contributions to the discussion:
- On the ERA Portal Austria, you can find a compilation of position papers on the next EU Framework Programme for R&I, by member states/regions as well as by many European umbrella organisations and other stakeholders.
- On 16 October, the independent expert report 'Align, Act, Accelerate', tasked by the Commission, was published. It provides strategic recommendations on maximising the impact of EU R&I programmes in the future. It is based on the preliminary findings and data on Horizon Europe and findings/conclusions stemming from the ex-post evaluation of the Horizon 2020 programme, and on other sources. It advocates that Europe should pursue a transformative agenda to address four critical and interdependent core spheres of action.

The YoPA project, ‘a youth-centred preventive action approach towards co-created implementation of socially and physically activating environmental interventions’ obtained funding from Horizon Europe’s Health Cluster. The project addresses the multifaceted challenges of physical inactivity and health inequalities through a unique participatory approach. The project places teenagers between 12 and 18 years old in vulnerable situations at the forefront of the intervention process. The Institute of Tropical Medicine is a partner in the project and will conduct a Realist Evaluation to understand how youth co-creation contributes to improved adolescent health and well-being in four cities in Denmark, Netherlands, Nigeria and South Africa. By integrating its results and sharing its approach in an open access Toolbox, ITM aims to contribute to fostering sustainable, youth-led solutions for healthier urban environments.
