Beside giving an overview about Hungarian achievements of the previous programme, we also discuss how dedicated government measures, domestic funds and professional services will foster an even more successful Hungarian involvement in the European calls.

The seven-year research and innovation framework programme of the European Union for the 2021-2027 period kicks-off in May with a budget of EUR 95.5 billion. Horizon Europe is in close continuity with the Horizon 2020 framework programme of the previous seven-year period, but is expanded with a number of new elements, including in particular clusters enhancing cross-sectoral cooperation, missions addressing major societal challenges, and strategic initiatives co-financed by the EU, Member States and industries. The direct social or economic benefit of the awarded funds will be considered an important requirement in the upcoming calls. Priority areas for Hungarian involvement include Widening participation, synergies with other European programmes and the European Institute of Innovation and Technology.

On the Hungarian launch event keynote speakers of the European Commission and Hungarian policy-making will present how an even more efficient participation can be boosted. Successful Hungarian H2020 proposers and a Hungarian reviewer of proposals will also share their experience on a panel discussion and answer questions put by the audience. Working language of the event is English.
