Horizon 2020: more than 400 organisations from Ukraine participated in EU programme
Over the last two years,
429 Ukrainian organisations
have participated in preparation of 715 project proposals, expecting European Commission contribution of EUR
269,25 million.
In particular,
Ukraine submitted 161 proposals
for projects co-ordinations of which 5 were classified for funding with
EC contribution of EUR 1,82 million.
These results
classify Ukraine on the 6th place among
associated and candidate countries. At the same
time, Ukraine reached 3 times better result
in the number
of participations and gained EC contribution than Tunisia, Moldova
or Bosnia-Herzegovina.
Detailed analyses
show that 32% of Ukrainian participants are from higher
and secondary education institutions, 36% from private for
profit organisations and over 25% from
research organisations.
Ukraine became
a full-fledged participant
of Horizon 2020 programme in March 2015. Since then Ukrainian
organisations are able to fully
participate in Horizon 2020 on equal terms with
EU member states and some other
third countries.
Horizon 2020 is
the biggest EU research and innovation
programme ever, which is open
for participation not only for
EU member states but also for
some associated and candidate countries.
Programme’s budget is nearly EUR 80 billion and available
for over 7 years (2014-2020) – in addition to the
private investment that this money
will attract.
