The European Union’s next framework programme for innovation and research – ‘FP9’, better known as Horizon Europe – will run from 2021 to 2027. With the rise of China as an increasingly direct competitor with the EU and the US, this will be a vital period.

Bruegel senior fellow Reinhilde Veugelers, together with Michael Baltensperger, has produced an analysis for the European Parliament’s Committee on Industry, Research and Energy.
