Abstract
The key-note speech will focus on the up-coming European framework programme for research and innovation, Horizon Europe (2021-2027).
One year ahead of the first call for proposals, many important elements of Horizon Europe are still under discussion.
In parallel, difficult negotiations for the next EU budget (MFF) are ongoing, overshadowed by the Brexit process.
Aspects that will change and many that will remain the same compared with the current framework programme Horizon 2020 will be highlighted and new features of the programme will be presented.
The speech will conclude with specific suggestions for universities of applied sciences to open up the debate with the audience.
