Priorities for Research and Innovation and the Horizon Europe Strategic Plan 2025–2027 (Oct. 2025)
This document, prepared by the Horizon Europe NCP Unit @ UEFISCDI, outlines the European Commission’s nine key Research and Innovation (R&I) priority areas for 2024–2029 and their alignment with the Horizon Europe Strategic Plan 2025–2027. It details the policy shift toward deployment, competitiveness, and European sovereignty across strategic domains such as AI in science, bioeconomy, clean energy, environment, food systems, health, industry, social sciences, and transport. The report provides guidance for applicants (researchers, institutions), and how to align proposals with Horizon Europe’s three core orientations, the green transition, digital transition, and a resilient, inclusive Europe, highlighting actionable recommendations for impact-driven participation in upcoming calls and partnerships.
