EUA presents its vision for FP10

On 8 April 2024, the European University Association (EUA) published its vision for FP10. In this document, EUA examines the current state of play and challenges of Horizon Europe and the European R&I landscape within a broader context. It subsequently formulates recommendations, pinpointing what should be added, modified, or removed for the programme to reach its ambitious goals. This includes a particular focus on the programme's budget, structure, core principles and horizontal topics.

The 10 EUA recommendations include a call for an increased budget of €200 billion. This budget should be more stable and must not be diverted, without the introduction of new funding, to other priorities when funding is needed to address emerging challenges or shifting political landscapes, EUA says. The association would like to see more funding opportunities for smaller, collaborative research projects in FP10 and a well-balanced mix of support for basic research, applied research and innovation.
