Horizon 2020
Horizon 2020 is the biggest EU Research and Innovation programme ever with nearly €80 billion of funding available over 7 years (2014 to 2020) – in addition to the private investment that this money will attract. It promises more breakthroughs, discoveries and world-firsts by taking great ideas from the lab to the market.
The three main axes of the programme are:
- Εxcellent Science
- Ιndustrial Leadership
- Societal Challenges
ERC
The European Research Council supports frontier research, cross disciplinary proposals and pioneering ideas in new and emerging fields which introduce unconventional and innovative approaches. The ERC’s mission is to encourage the highest quality research in Europe through competitive funding and to support investigator-driven frontier research across all fields of research, on the basis of scientific excellence. A total budget of 13 095 million euro is available for the implementation of the ERC funding schemes under Horizon 2020.
ERASMUS +
Erasmus+ is the EU’s programme to support education, training, youth and sport in Europe. Its budget of €14.7 billion will provide opportunities for over 4 million Europeans to study, train, and gain experience abroad.

FCH JU
The Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Joint Undertaking (FCH JU) is a unique public private partnership supporting research, technological development and demonstration (RTD) activities in fuel cell and hydrogen energy technologies in Europe. Its aim is to accelerate the market introduction of these technologies, realising their potential as an instrument in achieving a carbon-clean energy system.
The FCH 2 JU is set up for a period lasting until 31 December 2024. On 6th May 2014, the Council of the European Union formally agreed to continue the Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Joint Technology Initiative under the EU Horizon 2020 Framework with a total budget of €1.33 billion, provided on a matched basis between the EU represented by the European Commission, industry, and research.
Research Fund for Coal and Steel (RFCS)
The Research Fund for Coal and Steel (RFCS) supports research and innovation projects in coal and steel sectors.
Every year around €40 million is made available to universities, research centers and private companies to fund projects.
These projects cover:
- production processes
- application, utilisation and conversion of resources
- safety at work
