Horizon Europe stakeholders ‘lack awareness’ of opportunities

Parliament studies recommend increased communication efforts, including through National Contact Points

Potential beneficiaries of the EU’s research and innovation programme lack awareness of its funding opportunities and the steps that have been taken to simplify applications to it, according to a new European Parliament study.

Published on 4 July, the study was requested by the Parliament’s Panel for the Future of Science and Technology. It examined parts of the R&I programme that underwent transitions between its 2014-20 and 2021-27 iterations, Horizon 2020 and Horizon Europe, aiming to assess the impacts of the changes.
