Summary:

Regulation (EU) 2021/695 - adopted by the co-legislators on 28 April 2021 - establishing the Horizon Europe programme for the duration of the Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF) 2021-2027. This is a text with EEA relevance.

Further information:

This Regulation sets out the rules for participation and dissemination concerning indirect actions under the Programme and determines the framework governing support from the European Union (EU) for research and innovation (R&I) activities for the relevant time period. It lays down the objectives of the Programme, the budget for the period 2021 to 2027, the forms of EU funding and the rules for providing such funding. The Regulation also repeals Regulation (EU) No 1290/2013, Regulation (EU) No 1291/2013.

The Programme is implemented through:

The original proposal for this Programme was tabled by the European Commission on 7 June 2018 in the framework of the wider package of the Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF) for 2021-2027. It builds on the Horizon 2020 programme which was in place for the previous MFF period. The Council of the European Union agreed on a general approach to this draft law on 30 November 2018, while the European Parliament adopted its negotiating position on 12 December 2018. The positions did not cover financial provisions, subject to wider political negotiations. A (partial) informal agreement on a compromise text was reached on 19 March 2019.

The Commission adopted revamped proposals on the MFF 2021-2027 in May 2020, which was followed by an amended proposal concerning this Programme. The co-legislators reached an informal agreement on the overall financial provisions in November 2020. Formal endorsement was delivered in December 2020. Following full endorsement by the Council and the Parliament, the Act was signed by the co-legislators on 28 April 2021. The Act was published in the Official Journal on 12 May 2021.
