Horizon 2020 funds are direct-access funds awarded in international competition on the basis of excellence: the project proposals are assessed in Brussels against strict criteria such as excellence, highly professional and well-managed consortium and European impact, so member states get access to as much of the funds as their projects can win in the competition. The Horizon 2020 framework programme is one of the pillars of implementing the “Innovation Union”, a Europe 2020 flagship initiative aimed at securing Europe’s global competitiveness. It is the main financial instrument of the EU’s research, development and innovation policy.
