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. Horizon 2020 is the financial instrument implementing the Innovation Union, a Europe 2020 flagship initiative aimed at securing Europe's global competitiveness.
MARIE SLODOWOSKA CURIE ACTIONS
These are some of the most significant aids that will remain active in the new European framework Horizon 2020 and in other European programmes. Targeted towards researchers at any point in their careers, whether from state or private entities. Among the activities supported are, initial research training for young researchers, lifelong learning and career development. It is essential to bear in mind that Marie Curie actions can be individual (applied for jointly by the researcher in question and the research centre where he/she will undertake his/her project), but there are also others positioned within the international cooperating network between centres.
