Biennial Monitoring Report shows impact of Partnerships under Horizon Europe

On 19 September 2024, the European Commission published the second edition of the report on the Performance of European Partnerships under Horizon Europe (Biennial Monitoring Report - BMR 2024). The BMR aims to provide a strong evidence-base to guide the implementation of Partnerships and to inform strategic discussions on the effectiveness of the new policy approach to European Partnerships in Horizon Europe. This is the second in a series of four biennial reports, planned to be published in 2022, 2024, 2026 and 2028.

European Partnerships bring together a range of public and private partners who pool resources with the European Union to address challenges such as the green and digital transition, which no single country or company can tackle alone.

EU investements in Partnerships are currently reaching € 24.9 billion, which has leveraged additional investment of nearly € 40 billion from partners, leading to a significant increase of investment in the EU priorities.

European Partnerships also help to avoid duplication of investments and contribute to reducing the fragmentation of the research and innovation landscape in the EU. Through co-funded European Partnerships, for instance, the different funding agencies of the Member States and Associated Countries coordinate and plan significant parts of their national R&I investments jointly and target them towards EU priorities. They do this in areas such as personalised medicine, rare diseases, pandemic preparedness, the clean energy transition or biodiversity.
