Want to have a say in shaping the future of Europe? The European Commission is holding public consultations on its next budget. The long-term budget, referred to as the Multiannual Financial Framework, supports people across Europe; from researchers and businesses to farmers and communities. Horizon Europe, the EU’s scientific programme, formed part of the last budget, which will run until 2027. The budget plays a crucial role in improving lives, overcoming crises, and ensuring a stronger, more resilient Europe. Research and innovation will be at its centre; driving the development of cutting-edge technologies, fostering economic growth, supporting a clean economy, and creating high-skilled jobs.   A forward-looking budget should build on the successes of scientific programmes, such as #HorizonEU. But we also need to rethink how it works so it’s ready for the challenges of the future. And now you have the chance to contribute to this! The next budget will feature: ● A plan for each country with key reforms and investments, designed in partnership with national, regional, and local authorities;  ● A European Competitiveness Fund that will establish an investment capacity to support strategic sectors and critical technologies;  ● Financing for external action that is more impactful, targeted and aligned with strategic interests;  ● Additional safeguards protecting the rule of law.  This is a unique opportunity for you to share your views, before the formal proposal is made in July 2025. The next long-term EU budget will take effect in January 2028. You can participate until 6 May: https://europa.eu/!3d7fJY Now is your chance to influence its direction - don’t miss out and have your say! #ResearchImpactEU #EUHaveYourSay

14 new projects have been selected for EU funding to strengthen the European Research Area!   They will receive €29 million in EU funding to support early-career researchers, enhance public engagement with #science, and promote the uptake of #research results in society and the economy. The projects have been selected by independent evaluators after applying to three competitive Horizon Europe calls for proposals, funded under the 'Reforming and Enhancing the EU Research and Innovation System' programme. Here are the projects selected per grant:     ➡️ ‘Science comes to town’: 1 project will receive €6 million.   The project will transform three European cities into interactive science hubs, allowing citizens to connect with researchers and explore how science impacts daily life. The selected cities are: Brest (France), Kiel (Germany), and Split (Croatia). They will host in 2026 a year-long programme of science engagement which will also include the European Contest for Young Scientists (#EUCYS) and the European Contest for Early-Career Researchers, #EUTalentOn.      ➡️ ‘Talent ecosystems for attractive early research careers’: 10 projects set to receive €20 million. These projects are expected to provide early-career researchers with better working conditions in line with the European Charter for Researchers, and career prospects by strengthening cooperation between academia, industry, and other sectors.     ➡️ ‘Experimentation and exchange good practices for value creation’: 3 projects are sharing €3 million. The projects will explore ways to accelerate the transfer of scientific knowledge into practice for the benefits of society and the economy. They will foster cooperation among academia, industry, SMEs, public authorities, policymakers, civil society, and citizens.      🔹 Next steps: The selected projects will now prepare the signature of their grant agreement with the European Commission. The selected projects will now move towards the grant agreement preparation phase. Once grants are signed, projects will start. They are expected to start their activities as of November 2025.      The new selected projects are managed by the European Research Executive Agency (REA).      More: europa.eu/!wjpQgK    #SCTT2026 #EUfunding #ERA #ResearchImpactEU
