Horizon 2020 is the EU Framework Programme for Research and Innovation for the years 2014-2020 that aims at stimulating growth and creating jobs in Europe. It has a budget of just over €70 billion for that period and has been launched on 1 January 2014. A budget of € 1.42 billion has been earmarked over this 7 year-period to support space activities.
Two major international events will provide first-hand information on the content of the coming calls and bring interested actors together for matchmaking. Both events are co-organised by the European Commission and COSMOS2020, the network of National Contact Points (NCP) for Space.
In the core of Europe and the city of the European Commission, Brussels in Belgium, the second Space information day will bring your best chance to put forward your ideas for proposals.
