Horizon Europe-projektek értékének összege
Horizon Europe is the European Union's framework programme for research and innovation for 2021–2027. Its goal is to promote scientific excellence, foster industrial competitiveness and address societal challenges from climate protection to healthcare. Its three pillars are to promote science (for example through the European Research Council), industrial and technological innovation, and tackle societal challenges such as climate neutrality or the fight against cancer.

BME continues to actively seek partners not only for potential Horizon Europe projects but also for a wide range of industrial collaborations.
