European Parliament adopts Horizon Europe programme

On 27 April, Commissioner Gabriel welcomed the adoption of the Horizon Europe programme by the European Parliament. The Parliament also adopted the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) legislative package. The previous day, the Commissioner took part in the plenary session to outline the importance of Horizon Europe and the key role of the EIT under the programme. The EIT identifies talented innovators and provides them with personalised support, from financial help to mentoring and networking. The new package will allow the EIT to deliver on its ambitious objectives and play a key role in the EU’s transition to a green and digital economy.
