The European Commission proposed the Horizon Europe programme for 2028-2034, highlighting the need to strengthen EU research and innovation. It aims to overcome the fragmentation and slowness of the current system with two new councils: one for Competitiveness and Security, and another for Global Societal Challenges. These new structures aim to strengthen dual research, industrial sovereignty, defence and economic resilience, as well as address global issues such as climate, health and biodiversity.
