The European Parliament has formally approved Horizon 2020, the funding programme for research and innovation for the 2014-2020 period, almost putting the final seal on a budget tranche that would rise by 30% from the current period to a total of €80 billion. Publication of the first calls for proposals will take place early next month (11 December), if EU member states now formally agree the move.
