Horizon Europe is one of the world’s biggest, and most open, science and tech funders. Since the EU began supporting research and innovation on a broad scale 40 years ago, it has funded hundreds of thousands of researchers, entrepreneurs, non-profits and companies across Europe and, increasingly, around the world from Canada to Korea. But it’s a complex programme – and that’s where this book comes in.

If you have a hot research project, where are you going to go for the money? What if you’re in a small company trying to develop cool new product? A multinational looking to expand its research network, or a university wanting to broaden its funding sources?
For all, the answer could be Horizon Europe. This seven-year, €93.5 billion programme is one of the world’s biggest and most open sources of funding for research and innovation. It provides cash for fundamental science, for hot tech start-ups and countless product and service development projects. It gets big companies and universities working together, for the public good. It is a doorway to international cooperation on climate change, pandemics and other global problems.
This is the fifth edition of our popular guides to these EU programmes, updated in Autumn 2024 to include latest developments on Horizon work programmes and policies, aimed at both novices and experts on EU funding. In it, we explain how the programme works, rank the big grant winners, and offer advice and tips on seeking the money. To be sure, we are journalists, not grant consultants – so this is drawn from our in-depth, independent reporting of Horizon developments.
Receive the Funding Newswire each Tuesday, our Policy Bulletin each Thursday, and news about bridging Europe’s east-west innovation gap twice a month in The Widening. 
A unique international forum for public research organisations and companies to connect their external engagement with strategic interests around their R&D system.
