EURAD European Joint Programme on Radioactive Waste Management

Coordinator: AGENCE NATIONALE POUR LA GESTION DES DECHETS RADIOACTIFS (FR)

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: €32.5M awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 5 years from 2019-06-01 to 2024-05-31.
