EUROPEAN R&D PROGRAMS

The European R&I Programs Unit aims to increase national participation in European Research & Innovation (R&I) programs and platforms, particularly in the pillars related to Global Challenges and European Industrial Competitiveness (Pillar II) and Innovative Europe (Pillar III) of Horizon Europe, in the EUREKA program, and in the initiatives of the Enterprise Europe Network.

It also seeks to leverage national representation in key initiatives at the European level, in the discussion of strategic R&I dossiers, and to drive the implementation of innovation policies in alignment with European policies.

Finally, it aims to boost the competitiveness of national innovative companies, particularly in deep-tech, and to promote the dynamization of innovative ecosystems.
