Discover the 5 Horizon Europe Missions

|Focus|19 January 2023

European CommissionHorizon Europe, EU key funding programme for research and innovation, for its 2021-2027 programme introduced a novelty: the so-called Missions. In order to increase the effectiveness of funding, the European Commission engaged policy experts to develop a new mission-oriented way of working that would help transform EU goals into concrete results.

What are the missions?

Missions are what the EU will do to tackle big challenges to health, climate and the environment. They will support Europe’s transformation into a greener, healthier, more inclusive and resilient continent by 2030. Horizon Europe missions’ aim is to bring tangible benefits to people in Europe and engage Europeans in their design, implementation and monitoring.

With this in mind, Missions bring researchers, innovators, businesses and policy makers together and provide them with the tools and the funding that they need, to reach the ambitious goals the European Commission set for the years to come. How? By pooling the necessary resources in terms of funding programmes, policies and regulations, as well as other activities.
