In Horizon Europe’s Cluster 2 for culture and democracy research, collaborative projects on political systems and institutions have recorded the most participations so far. And at the top of the funding list are two investigations on political corruption.
In total, Horizon Europe has funded 26 projects worth €77 million involving 402 participants that explore political systems, for which the European Commission sets the research questions.
Horizon’s biggest project on the topic by budget is Bridgegap, a group of researchers who aim to map corruption networks and track hidden assets, with a €5.73 million in net EU contribution.
