The Commission’s proposal of €175 billion for #FP10 is encouraging: it must serve as a baseline in upcoming negotiations. Anything below €175 billion would be a missed opportunity for Europe’s competitiveness, prosperity and resilience 📄EUA's analysis bit.ly/4nkqniA

Text "The programme's fundamentals: Horizon Europe remains a stand-alone programme. Unclear boundaries with the European Competitiveness Fund threaten Horizon's independence and integrity. Budget proposal points in the right direction, but falls short of what is really needed. Approach to dual-use research remains unclear."
