Reforming indirect cost calculations could be a lifeline for Widening countries and others with weaker research systems

There’s an imbalance in the €307 million support scheme for countries that struggle to take part in Horizon Europe

EU programmes are too complex for countries that do not have armies of consultants, say Widening experts

The latest data shows lower-performers have increased their share of funding from 9% in Horizon 2020, to 13% in Horizon Europe

With over €1.1B committed to 257 projects, Horizon Europe cooperation with the Global South is no small endeavour 

The 2024 European Innovation Scoreboard adds up to little progress: in the past 8 years most countries stayed in the same category

The scheme aims to close the innovation gap, but a decade on it needs to evolve, says the European Institute of Innovation and Technology
