Health research should be a top priority in the next Framework Programme for Research and Innovation!
- Details
The BioMed Alliance welcomes the European Commission’s proposed budget for the next Framework Programme for Research and Innovation (Horizon Europe) within the Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF). A budget of 100 billion euro for Horizon Europe represents an increase of almost 30 per cent, and it is essential to provide effective solutions to societal challenges and foster scientific excellence in Europe.
The BioMed Alliance calls on the European Commission, European Parliament, and the Council of the EU to secure a robust budget for health research under Horizon Europe. 25-30% of the Horizon Europe budget dedicated to biomedical and health-related research will ensure a coherent, competitive European research landscape, and it will generate societal benefits and long term positive economic impact.
