Background on Horizon Europe
Horizon Europe is the European Commission’s upcoming research and innovation framework program, running from 2021-2027. The current budget is €95.5 billion ($150B CAD). The three program pillars are excellent science, mission-oriented research, and innovation partnerships. At the Canada-European Union Summit earlier this month, leaders agreed to take steps toward Canada becoming an associate member, but formal association talks have yet to begin.
Association to Horizon Europe would grant Canadian researchers the same preferential conditions as EU27 member state researchers, along with opportunities to lead and participate in global collaborations, and contribute to Canada’s post-pandemic economic recovery.
