EU commissioner Mariya Gabriel kicked off the Science|Business conference on Monday with a promise that despite the late start to Horizon Europe there will be no interruption in EU research funding.
The first €120 million Horizon Europe call for collaborative research into emerging COVID-19 variants will launch in March, through an emergency procedure. “The gap between programmes will be very narrow,” said Gabriel, noting the last Horizon 2020 call closed as recently as January.
