Hello and welcome to EuCheMS - Brussels News Updates!
Welcome to the May edition of Brussels News Updates – your monthly newsletter on chemistry in Europe!
This month's big news: the European Commission has unveiled the name and proposed budget for the successor funding programme to Horizon2020. Called Horizon Europe (no longer FP9), and with a proposed budget of nearly 100 billion euro, the proposal has already sparked debate. The European Parliament and stakeholders would like to see it increased, but the viewpoint may be different within the Council... You can read EuCheMS' response below, and catch up on the latest EuCheMS activities and developments affecting chemistry in Europe!

Horizon Europe – ambition and determination needed in negotiations
The proposal for the future framework programme – Horizon Europe – was unveiled by the European Commission on 2 May, launching a lengthy process of negotiations between the European Parliament and the Council over the next few months. The proposal sets €100 billion for the successor programme to Horizon2020 and for the nuclear research programme, Euratom. EuCheMS welcomes the Commission’s proposal and recognises the significance of an increased budget, especially in light of the UK’s departure from the EU - but it is crucial that the European Parliament and Member States recognise the vital role research and innovation play in providing solutions to a myriad of challenges, and as such, of the importance an ambitious budget will have.
