PERISCOPE Pan-European Response to the ImpactS of COVID-19 and future Pandemics and Epidemics

Coordinator: UNIVERSITA DEGLI STUDI DI PAVIA (IT)

About Horizon 2020 (2014–2020)

Horizon 2020 was the EU's flagship research and innovation programme for 2014–2020, with a budget of around €77 billion. It bundled FP7's strands with the EIT and the Competitiveness and Innovation Programme, introduced a stronger societal-challenge orientation, and pushed the funding logic toward closer-to-market innovation. New calls closed in 2020 but funded projects continued through 2024.

EU contribution: €10.0M awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 3 years from 2020-11-01 to 2023-10-31.
