A regulation establishes the framework programme, as part of the EU’s next long-term budget (the Multi-annual Financial Framework (MFF)) of the European Union.
Horizon Europe’s budget is thus linked to the adoption of the Multi-annual Financial Framework. Due to the COVID-19 health emergency situation, the MFF has evolved to include an EU recovery instrument entitled Next Generation EU (NGEU) as part of the EU recovery plan for Europe. Some of these funds will be distributed through Horizon Europe.
