Brussels – On a popular Linked-In discussion group, someone recently asked how to get hold of the detailed planning documents for Horizon 2020, the European Union’s new, €70 billion research programme. The answer from one colleague?  “Just ask the Internet.”

Indeed, when it comes to getting EU money, the Internet is a bigger help than you might expect. Through some carefully constructed Google searches, our news editor, Joanne O’Dea, was able to find almost all of the key Horizon 2020 documents, the so-called work programmes, scattered across university and member-state Websites around the EU – in fact, seemingly everywhere except the European Commission’s own Website.
