POLBUSNETWORKS Political and Business Networks
Coordinator: KOZEP-EUROPAI EGYETEM (HU)

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: €1.8M awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 6 years from 2017-05-01 to 2023-04-30.
