Excellent Science

Horizon 2020 will raise the level of excellence in Europe's science base and ensure a steady stream of world-class research to secure Europe's long-term competitiveness. It will support the best ideas, develop talent within Europe, provide researchers with access to priority research infrastructure, and make Europe an attractive location for the world's best researchers.

Horizon 2020 will:

  • support the most talented and creative individuals and their teams to carry out frontier research of the highest quality by building on the success of the European Research Council (ERC);
  • fund collaborative research to open up new and promising fields of research and innovation through support for Future and Emerging Technologies (FET);
  • provide researchers with excellent training and career development opportunities through the Marie Curie Actions;
  • ensure Europe has world-class research infrastructures (including e-infrastructures) accessible to all researchers in Europe and beyond.
