Let’s take a look at the upcoming European Framework Programme for research, FP10
The European Framework Programme for Research and Innovation serves as the European Union’s primary instrument for advancing scientific knowledge, boosting competitiveness, and addressing major global challenges. For the 2021-2027 period, this role is fulfilled by Horizon Europe, the ninth European framework programme (FP9) for research and innovation. It continues previous initiatives while channeling an unprecedented level of investment into research and innovation within the European Research Area.
The upcoming European Union Framework Programme for Research and Innovation will span the 2028-2034 period (referred to as Horizon Europe, the tenth Framework Programme, FP10). The European Commission has already presented its baseline proposal, aimed at keeping the EU at the forefront of science and technology.
To explore the plans, objectives, and Spain's stance in the negotiations for this future programme in detail, you may consult the following official resources:
