Member States have put research and innovation at the top of the European political agenda, by adopting the Europe 2020 strategy and endorsing the Innovation Union in February 2011, making it a cornerstone of plans for investment in sustainable growth and jobs. On this basis, the Commission in 2011 proposed a €80b budget for the next research and innovation programme Horizon 2020. Horizon 2020 focuses on advancing scientific knowledge and discovery, but also more than ever on making Europe more competitive through research. At the Successful R&I in Europe 2013 - 5th European Networking Event in Düsseldorf on 7 March 2013, Commissioner Geoghegan-Quinn outlined key measures in Horizon 2020 to support small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), the backbone to the European economy. |
